Since my original post i ended up installing a 6 1/2 two way bass mid range in the the original 6x9 grill and replacing the tweeter. I used the original grill and modified it to fit the 6x9 grill. I just disconnected the middle speaker. I didnt want to install a three way 6x9 because the...
The driver on my drivers door finally gave up the ghost and i am hoping to do a mild upgrade on the speakers. I have non-nav no ML system. After pulling the door panel off the lower driver looks to be a 6x9 2 channel speaker. The mid looks to be a 3 1/4 with the tweeter at the top. I want to...
I just saw this post after taking the drives side wheel off. I re-tightened everything again and noticed the UCA nut had worked loose. Torqued everything down and we'll see what happens tomorrow. If it still does it I will check the tie rod ends. The bushings still look good. I was thinking...
FWIW, I installed the same kit with the HD springs in the back and I am running 295/70/17. I had to so some mods to get the fronts to not rub but it works well now. Also, TJM must have addressed the front strut bushing issue as mine had rubber bushings and are holding up fine.
Its been about two months since i installed my tjm 2.5 lift with TC UCA's. I recently went back and tightened everything up and nothing appeared loose. I get some noise when hitting bumps at an angle and the passenger side is under compression amd the drivers side is unloaded. Cant reproducd...
I just finished up my 2.5 tjm list with TC UCA's and mounted 295/70/17s. I have making some fender mods in addition to removing the running boards. The back is a non issue with rubbing. So far in the front I have cleared the sway bar, body mount and modified the leading edge of the inner...
Hey guys just an update....after i finished i measured overall height to see how much lift I gained. Stock I was 20 inches in the front and 21 in the back. After the lift I was 25 in the back (HD sprimgs) and only 22 in the front. I was confused why i only gained 2 inches in the front. I...
Well guys finally got it done. Total Chaos UCAs, Tjm 2.5 lift with struts and springs up front. Southern style coil conersion in the back with Tjm HD springs. Got it all put back together but i can tell my camber is all goofed up. When i loosened LCA's i made sure adjustment plate didnt...
Well I got the rears in and looks good. Preliminary measurements look like i got 3 inches with TJM HD rears.
Now for the front....wow what a PITA to remove front struts and shocks! The two little allen screws up top i would like to talk that engineer. I got everything out and gave up at...
Hey guys hopefully someone can help me out. I am trying to install my my rear spring conversion. I have the southern supply perches installed, air bags and shocks out. Problem is i csnt get the axle to drop enough to get my tjm 2.5 springs. I am on axle stands up high and disconnected the...
To each their own I guess....in Central America people tend to like smaller rigs due to higher fuel costs. Thats why there are still a million trackers and samurais still around down here. I have always preferred 2 doors to four doors.
Im here in Costa Rica and i always see a ton of diesel cruisers. Typically i run across lots of 80 series and 70 series. I have always wanted a 70 series until i ran across this today.....2 door Prado with a diesel. How many years do i have wait to import one of these guys:(
I see you removed the fenders which is what I want to do. Other than body mount chop and fender remove what else did you have to do to get them to fit? I plan on new UCAs as well. I hope my rig looks half as good as yours when I'm done!!
