Went with 285/70/17 BFG AT KO2's (Load Range C) on Method 703 +35mm offset. LX with 1-2" of lift after AHC delete and new suspension (Fox 2.5", Total Chaos Upper arms, Icon rear coils). Exactly the offset I was looking for. Does rub a bit at...
Finally have everything situated and new wheels/tires put on. I didn't take good measurements ahead of time, but best I can tell ended up with about 1.5" of lift in the front and 1" in the rear. Front Suspension: Total Chaos Upper Arms, 2.5"...
Well we planned to do a first start today. Didn’t start trying until 4pm.
Got a bit of an issue with fuel delivery but we trouble shot that and believe we have it mostly figured out. So perhaps on Monday.
Got the air box back from powder...
After JTNP, we made our way east to Sedona. Many trails were closed but a couple around town were open, including Broken Arrow and Vultee (up to Devil’s Bridge trailhead). The weather was amazing and the crowds were out in force, hikers and pink...
6112s on 1st perch with 5160s in the back with OME 2720 springs. I have exactly one inch of rake. I’ll see if it settles more after a few hundred miles. 275/55/20 Duratracs on Tundra TSS factory wheels.
We planned to take Geology Tour Rd from the north to Berdoo Canyon Rd, but surprisingly, Geology Tour was closed due to flooding. We were bummed but it was early and we thought we would head to do Berdoo Canyon from the south side. We stopped at...
All the steel I’m adding is 14 gauge to give it a lot of strength. The original toyota steel is typically about15 gauge but with all the rust and sandblasting it’s welding like it’s 18. Basically tack weld about 4 inches apart…. and wait an...
While I have been performing the 120K maintenance schedule of my recently purchased 2013 LX I found a trail of dried coolant on the front of the engine from a leaking water pump while doing the front diff/oil. Yesterday I spent the day in the...
Yah, that's fair!
So... We caved in the left rear pretty well out wheeling. That darn departure angle. So, I did that to a 3rd gen 4runner I had back 20 years ago as well. I built some front rear and side sliders and they worked well to keep the...
Got the blower working. It does not take much to warm a 45 interior down here but I’m sure Michigan is a different story.
SOR defrost elbows.
SOR chain anti rattle covers
I also added the VIN and “brass tag” back to the truck. I moved it to...
Did a bunch of shrinking and beating on the back edge to get it round again, and get rid of a butt dent, then tacked a reinforcement bar across to prep for the cut and addition of 3" stretch....
here is the planned cut.
while the torch...
Tire/fridge rack back from powder, and got a chase rack style tire strap holding it nice and snug. Need to test it out to see how the factory tie down nuts work, or if I need to use sandwich plates for strength. Time will tell.
