A bit late here, but for future reference, the filter mount from the 1UR FE in the Lexus GX460 could be a clearance/problem solver here. The good is that it mounts the filter horizontally which gains an inch or two of clearance. The bad is that...

Dobs too. I’ve seen the (what I think is a bit BS,) reason is that the axle moves back when they flex but that’s a long way on mine 👆🏼.

Redline sells a suspension kit that claims to put the axle back and centered in the wheel well. Not sure who makes their springs. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/new-redline-2-5-suspension-kit.1362567/page-2

I have never personally moved an axle back in the stock wheel well with stock springs. My work was much more invasive, but i did use the Ruffstuff perches and moved the axle back an extra inch with the 3 hole perches after i installed new...

Is 1” offset towards the back the common move? When I refresh the suspension in my 40, I would like to get these springs. But moving the axle back at the same time seems like a good move.

Be mindful, i just grabbed those as a visual reference for the multiple holes. Those exact units, the perches are designed to give another 2” wheelbase stretch due to the perch being offset relative to the axle tube.

Could certainly move back, yes. These Dobinson's springs are a joke. They are terrible. There are several of us who ordered around the same time are pretty sure we got a bad batch (I actually know we did). They are soft as can be. Did I say they...

Today's Free Fly marketing email: Looks so similar but not you?

Margins in the business are generally smaller than most people think. The same money invested in infrastructure and labor invested in many other industries will bring much better margins. Most, if not all of us do it for passion first, then we...

I'm not a fan of where this headed, but ....are you taking these pictures or are they being supplied to you? In your last post the pictures are absolutely correct for a 25, that is a 25 VIN plate and the frame and motor number indicate a 1960...

I want to reiterate what @sleepycruiser says: be careful! If they messaged you through the pm’s on mud, look at their profile and post history. Don’t pay for anything until it is in your hands or verified. A lot of people are getting scammed by...

Continuing the gathering and cleaning of parts. Scored another cluster to harvest some parts from. I just noticed that the front&rear prop shafts appear to be the same lengths.

Doing all manufacturing in the US. The delay is just that this is a side project on top of my 80 hr / week job, so it's challenging to get time to progress it at the pace I want!

I put the wipers back together today.

I am putting the elephant horns back together. Had to make a couple gaskets. Still have to find the grommets.

Headlight buckets

Rear heater back together too. Just need to add the PN decals when I install in the truck.

Finished the front heater today.

If you want OEM try Xexpress, they are a Belgian company that works like Amayama but based on European stock of Toyota: # XEXPRESS | 56111-90303-83 GLASSWINDSHIELDTLT=6,7 TOYOTA | Pièce TOYOTA d'Origine -...

A full install requires 3x boards, 3x wiring harnesses. The butt crimp connectors can be bought cheap from any auto store. I'll make an install vid. 1 board will be $79 including wiring harness. 3x boards (including 3x harnesses) will be $219...

Can't wait to see the results. And thank you for bringing us along for the ride!! Just awesome fun!

Be careful, I "HEARD" It can be very addicting running Bonneville. ;)

Went for a drive, lost power on acceleration. This was one of the days I detested the Holley Sniper. Its happened several times over the last month but then clears up, the last two times I changed fuel filters as I thought that was the issue and...

Just finished sorting out my A/C system. It’s all back and functioning nice and cold.

The inner trim welt covers the inner lip and the pinch weld. Otherwise, just that nasty butyl like @ttxpc said. Really not a hard job, just a little time consuming and getting it squeezed back in place and squishing the butyl can be a small...
