Are those 35's BFG's on there?

Traded in the Ironman Suspension for a new Dobinson MRA suspension with the Dobinsons rear long travel. Added a rear panhard correction kit. Metal Tech extended rear brake lines. Treaty Oak Offroad KDSS Spacer kit. New bump stops. Total Chaos spindle gussets. SPC UCA's.

Replaced the stock wiper fluid reservoir with an Expedition One reservoir for a 2009-2012 FJ Cruiser. Had to relocate the secondary air intake pump behind the air box.

Bravo! Some serious up grades.
Considering you're down here in Pasadena, are looking at rock crawling some of the local mountains, maybe John Bull trail?
With 35's and long arm suspension, should be very doable without buckling any body panels.
Question, how much more articulation toes one get using the long arm suspension?

Added a Scangauge2, Scangauge mount, 67 Designs shorty arm and RAM mount to the dash.

Thanks! My goal now is to try and see what I'm capable of in the rock crawling scene. I'm guessing moderate rocks considering I already buckled a front fender to a tree on Gold Mountain Trail in Big Bear couple weeks back LOL!!! I really want to try John Bull out but I'm waiting for a new pair of RCV axles to show up. They've been sitting in the Fedex Vegas location for a few days . Total articulation? I'm not really sure. When I purchased the suspension I asked for something that would be capable of the Rubicon trail and was pointed to the Dobs LT setup.

Winch switches and Pedal Commander. Line-X front grill.

Crazy thing I just happen to be at a car meet when I was approached by a gentleman named Brian and was offered the opportunity for a KMC Wheel sponsorship. Of course I couldn't pass up the offer in which I am very grateful to Brian and KMC Wheels. So I'm now sporting KMC's new KM236 Tank Beadlock satin black wheels.

Gorgeous... definitely no approach/departure angle issues

I love the rear bumper. It's awesome how he used the rear light pockets to encapsulate the hinge and latch, unfortunately that design won't work for the 2014+ GX. Your break over and departure angles are fantastic, I look forward to seeing where you take it now. I love the ride quality of my Ironman FCP's but I'd be lying if I said I haven't been considering going to an LT kit in the future. Who makes the panhard correction kit?

Thanks Tex. I'm really looking forward to hitting the trails for sure. I agree, the Ironman FCP's are a great ride on and off road I loved them but did not love the green powder coat. The panhard kit is from eimkeith.com 4TH & 5TH GEN 4RUNNER (and GX 470/460, and FJ…) PCK (Panhard Correction Kits)

Thank you. Approach and departure angles was the goal.

Yea the green is a bit in your face. I am looking at LT kits but it'll come at the price of RCV's and a few others things I wasn't quite committed to just yet. I'm moving some toys soon so I'll have some extra funds to throw at the GX in the spring so maybe I'll get around to some of this stuff finally. Thanks for the link on the PCK, got one on the way.

If you still have your Stealth Customs wheels I would take them off your hands! Also, dope build! I got so many ideas for the rear tire carrier and will be attempting to design my own shortly!

 

[White wings]

Those SCS wheels were my favorite set up I ever had. I also have a set of those Armory black rhinos on my sequoia right now. The y might be the heaviest wheel I've EVER had!

Any spares left over from swapping stuff out?

 

[Tex68w]

Which bump stops did you use in the rear?
