So, I pulled the front driveshaft to chase a vibration on deceleration issue I’ve been having, and expected I would need to keep the CDL on to keep power going to the rear wheels. I was not sure if it would stay locked when the truck was off or if the “park” on the transmission would be...

15k mile update. Running perfectly, but my o2 sensor is ready for replacement. Not blaming the turbo for that.

Whilst I knoweth to be sacrilege to installeth non toyota parts on thine Land Cruiser, the 300% difference in price makes this a fair topic for revisiting. I just shelled out for a hvac system for the house and an unexpected ER visit, so the money tree has already been heavily pruned. I’m...

Any long term reviews? Had I seen this a couple of years ago, it would already be in my truck but just happened upon it today. Sadly, the money tree got murdered by the HVAC guys as I got home from vacation a couple of weeks ago, so this will be a few months down the road for my rig.

That’s going to be in how you set it up. I prefer a more firm ride. I can’t get it to sports car level, but close enough to really like the handling. I’m sure at the other end it’s closer to a crown Vic. But the adjustment is stupid easy to get to. It’s entirely possible to have them set up...

I’ve run the OG slinky spec Icon’s at 2” diameter and found them under damped for the weight of the truck. My 93 is on run of the mill OME. Around town, they feel fine. Soaks up bumps and never had any floaty issues. I’ve got mine set more firm than the manual ask for. You still feel when...

I’ve got 2 years, and close to 10,000 miles of mixed use on them. Just got home from the Ozarks, truth be told. I still love them. Mine are paired with the slinky spec Dobisons progressive coils and I added a 15mm spring spacer before this last trip (I’m heavy with camp set up and was level...

Free bump, are those the pro comp steelies? Hows the clearance on the caliper? I got a little worried when I saw it interfered with tacos and FJC calipers

The only thing that changed was the center caps.

Yes and no. There are methods to change your faster angle, such as brackets, amount of lift, and control arms. I have aftermarket control arms that added caster, possibly more than I need to get within spec. Adding more lift will change the caster angle. But I agree there isn’t a factory...

Its a shame the electric PB is so expensive. Would the FR Lite package retain the drum then for a parking brake function. Gots to pass state inspection

Any idea where the caster sweet spot is? I saw factory is set at a max of 2 degrees, and I was hoping an inch of lift would put me closer to 4. I’ve got Firestones lifetime alignment, so I can get it dialed in as frequently as I want

I've already got the 3L arms installed from Delta which pushed the axle forward an inch and produced some caster. My Caster is at 8 degrees, makes me think the front end needs to come up a bit. And the rear is sagging when Im loaded for a trip. Im sure the 100 lbs rotti in the back doesnt...

The springs were to address 2 issues. ive got too much sag in the rear while loaded, so I need to increase spring rate in the rear. I thought I had a 3 inch lift when I ordered my delta arms, now my caster is at 8 degrees. I am not going to run a six inch kit to maximize travel. Pretty sure...

Im hoping the panhard bracket will do the trick in the rear. I’ll add an Adjustable one to the front. It’s been on my list for a bit anyways. Until I build the newer rig my wife has requested, the cruiser is more “overlander“ than I’d like. No serious rock crawling, more fire road with an...
