I lifted my GX via Old Man Emu Struts + Springs only and everything was fine. A few months later I installed some aftermarket UCA's and had rubbing at half turn that I could never get rid of without adjusting the alignment way out of whack. That lasted about a few months before I bought new OEM...
Stock Lexus wheels at the moment. I was wondering if I could move the wheel forward/back - so I'll have to fiddle around with those cam bolts. I'm glad I bought new ones since the originals were so incredibly rusty.
Body mount chop - I need to saw off part of the body mount there that's in the...
I feel like I haven't done anything out of the ordinary here. I put in an Old Man Emu 2" life (Shock + Coils) several months ago, installed some 285/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, and then did some fender trimming. I was able to get my full crank to crank turning radius.
Over the weekend I put in...
I'm just down the canyon from you in Orem, and picked up a little 3100# dry camper a few weeks back. Took it out for a quick weekend and now it's winterized on the side of my house. I am going to Goblin Vally in Feb and Hwy 6 makes me nervous but your post just gave me some confidence that I'll...
I have that leak. It drives me nuts when I have the windows down. I also have a 2008 that I picked up a year ago. It's such a great car, you're gonna love it! I also recently (finally) took of my running boards and bought the Blue Dog Designworks Molding and they look great. I've got an OME 2.5"...
If you want a simple inexpensive lift you're better off going with a spacer lift that just goes above the stock strut and will give you 1.5-2" of lift. I don't think just adding the OME springs alone is going to do anything for you with the stock struts.
That said - ditch the ride control. It's...
Hey! Just wrapping up the JT Outfitters 4 wheel conversion on my 1972, I was a little intimidated at first, but it wasn't too bad. I did all 4, I don't want to deal with drums ever again.
Ah, two more bolts?! I did not know there were more bolts to be removed. That would explain why it wouldn't budget when I was trying to smack it off. Thank you AZMoonshadow
Hey all - I'm working on installing a Disc Brake conversion on my 1972 FJ40 and am trying to take off all the old Drum stuff, but I seem to be stuck with the backing plate and the spindle. Do they separate from each other? They seem pretty stuck together but I think I need just the spindle for...
Trying to bring an old rig back to life - the manual fuel pump is dead, but I have a little electric that I will use. Can you help me figure out which hose I need to put this into? I crawled under and it seems like A is hooked up to the metal hose that runs up to the engine block, but I want to...
