Wonder who gets the pig one day...

 

[PabloCruise]

Wow, what a good looking crew!

You should have some helpers in a few years...

 

[71greenpig]

Yeah can't wait for them to start, my oldest loves his tools already and has a work bench in the house and shop. I am a blessed man.

Finally some tint. It is a lot cooler and helps alot. It's growing on me.

 

[71greenpig]

Adding to stack of parts....

You can see not much room between tierod end and wheel. It clears but its really close. The last pic is fj60 wheels. Its touches the small rubber piece on boot.

Oh ya, I forgot about that. They were close for me but I put in the high steer frombe kit in and that is not an issue. I was thinking of swapping the steering arms that way they angle in not out. I don't know if that is a bad idea but I guess I didn't have to find out.

I was wondering about swapping too. Not sure they could even mount clip on weights on inside due to making contact with TRE. Stick on weights may have a clearance issuse with caliper and wheel distance.

 

[71greenpig]

Guess I could always order a 1" spacer to run.

As for as balancing, go with the balance beads. I use them in several vehicles, no problems and no weights falling off.

 

[71greenpig]

I had a bad time with them once before, may have been the place who did it. I ended up going to another shop and having to take them out and use regular clip on weights. That was also trying to balance 37" supper swamper radials though.
