Replacement as in a 3rd engine?

Maybe, but not always a bad thing looks wise :)

I've towed with my 8 speed about 1500 miles at this point. Most trailers not over 3000. Much like the 10 speed in my F150 what I like about the 8 speed is that it has a really low first gear. Someone did data on here and the math supported a 8 speed vs 6 speed....the 8 speed is like having...

Was on Yankee Boy Basin while raining and slid sideways into a rock. Chipped the paint on the slider and it also chipped the rock. Rock took more damage. Honestly impressed with build quality of SLEE sliders.

It's a beater now, send it on the trails full speed :)!

I just bought some masking tape (blue stuff), masking paper, and a few cans of Plasti-dip from Home Depot. A lot of the parts will pop off, including the side door moulding, rear moulding that says "Land Cruiser" and the front chrome pieces by the headlights. There's a few videos on the internet...

Thanks! I not a fan of chrome but I think the grill adds just enough to keep it classy while the sides look much better without. I saw the pic of your truck and did a double take. Looks great.

You are the bomb.com my man. Just wire brushed - painted (happened to have the same paint you mentinoed) and about to anti-sieze my 2017 with hex (odd, but thankful it's hex). I'm in TN so after 5 years the screws cracked no issue, but better take 5 minutes more while I'm greasing prop shafts...

Ok thanks, and to follow up, I think I found a way to better word my question. Would opening those bolts just a bit, and leaving them open while performing suspension work cause any issues? I don't want to introduce air into the lines and I'm trying to make sure I don't take any chances, but...

I know it's very bad to open to screws too far, but is there any harm in the number of times you open these valves? Not that I'd say we regularly open them, but every 3 - 4 years I'll do lift work (shocks, etc) and just wondered if that added up. Lastly, when you say 3 revolutions and then anti...

Yep, if not a little too tight. You should be able to pretty much remove by hand, or maybe just a hair over.

Any luck on finding that? Mine is squeaking like crazy. I greased a few places but it's still brutal.

No rub until I space out the wheels, but that's expected. Using stock wheels with stock offset on those tires and lift is great.

Also can you measure the tires? If you don't have a tire tool they are like $4 from any parts store. They are measured in 16th of an inch, so you'd see a new tire look like 13/16". For example, my K02s on my 4Runner with 36,000 miles are measuring 9/16", and my K02s on my LC200 with 12,000 mile...

Every example I could find was in Aus. Also, other than air line routing - the install is crazy easy. The bags compress to find in the spring perches so it's easier than springs. I'll report back if I end up doing this. Once I get over the $1500 price tag for rears, and add a wireless...
