Another suggestion is to swap the front 5100s with 6112s - unsure if that would be a complete cure? I am removing the running boards and eventually going with sliders. Definitely a head scratcher… didn’t think this would be that difficult of an issue.

Any suggestions on a brand and size - to level the front a bit and slightly improve the rake?

Check out spec sheet - taking off my running boards tonight. I might do a Victory Blitz front, but may keep it simple. Wondering what else I can do to slightly increase height in front to reduce rake and also stop rub with the KO3s.

Here is spec sheet:

Good point, I didn’t even think that. I’m so use to the ease of my old LCs, as similar as they are to… they’re different to GX mods. Truck is definitely leaning a bit also - even with the new suspension. I’ve always gone OME or Bilstein. We are going to put it up in the air this week… my other...

Thanks, I found the perfect color Toyota bronze color code with eggshell clear - which I shot on my silver one… I went a little lighter on this one, so slightly more gold than I wanted. I was trying to match the LC200 heritage bbs bronze. I usually go with black wheels, but I wanted to try to...

I see no signs of tire rub on plastic, is it possible that it’s flexing enough for metal to metal components to touch? I wouldn’t think that’s possible… My other GX is one tire size down, but that’s less than half an inch taller - which could possibly make a difference.

I don’t know if this sounds crazy, but it almost sounds like my springs are rubbing against the new upper control arms?

I’m having some issues with rub - sounds like scratching or scraping, but pretty sure it’s rub… 2019 GX460 Luxury -Bilstein 5100s -Dobinson springs -Freedom front control arms -265/70R18s BFG KO3s If I’m coming in a little too hot on a curb, I’m getting a rub - but it actually sounds more...

I'll check this afternoon and let you know. I really hope its a quick fix, because it's finally going in the shop in about a week for a complete resto... I really don't feel like towing it and pushing it around lol. Also, does anyone have a good suggestion for an updated fuse box? Just looking...

Do they make a rebuild kit for the weber electric carbs... It's a 69, so i'm guessing its a 38mm? The carb was already installed when I bought truck.

Awesome, can’t thank y’all enough for your time and info!

Hahaha it was insane. Thanks so much for the info… Just to get a better idea, this was within the first few hours! Don’t know how the gators did, but the deer and ducks definitely hunkered down.

I have an electric carb on my 69 FJ40, believe it’s a Weber (two square butterfly plates). I wanted to back it up before the freeze. But when I went to start it, no dice. Never had an issue until this year. When I went to spray some starter fluid in the carb, thinking it was just the cold...
