    New Truck, New Things to Fix

    So I recently purchased a 89 FJ62 and had two questions that I needed some guidance on. 1.) The previous owner added a SOA lift on the truck but had blown shocks and failed to re-add the sway bars. My question is, what's the good/bad of just adding new factory shocks to the old mounting...

    New suspension conundrum

    I'm getting close to my wits end here and I need the bright lights of the forum to steer me true. AND- before you ask, yes, I have called/emailed Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters. They only deal in OME stuff now so can't really help beyond advice, which was of course very helpful. I have an '84 FJ60...

    Wobbly Steering

    my 2000 lc is somewhat unstable at higher (50+) speed - I have to kind of constantly correct the steering. Not terrible but annoying especially when going through a narrow passage at higher speed. I had the wheels aligned 1500 miles or so ago. Is this a known issue? What could it be? I think I...

    Just noticed today that the cruiser looks tilted towards the driver side when standing on a flat road. Any guesses on what might be the issue? I checked with a flashlight on the shocks but nothing seems off. I also measured the distance between the top of the front tire and the bottom of the...

    Drivers side sagging 1"?

    Long time lurker, first time poster. Purchased a 2002 LC with 180,000mi (stock, no upgrades) in December and it's been running great after a few long ski trips and 5+ off roading adventures around AZ. Something I noticed after my last off roading trip is that the front drivers side is 1" lower...

    LX 570 AHC Load Capacity Enhancement

    A thread on the 100s forum got me thinking/reading about this again..that and my sudden fixation on gear weight as I load for an Overland Expo road trip.
