Good looking GX! What lift do you have and what size tire? Spacers?

Thanks

Thanks. It's a ToyTec 2 or 3 inch Bilstein lift with SPC upper control arms. The tires are 285/70-17 and I'm not using spaces because I'm using wheels designed for this setup (FN fx pro [I think] - just realized I had posted an older photo. The one below is how it now looks)

Nice rims....Ya first photo has your stock wheels like I have. I have 1.25" spacers with the same tire/size. I did the metal tec stage 2 rear conversion to get rid of airbags. pulled the old air ride control form the center console and replaced with land cruiser pocket.

This looks fantastic! Where did you find the interior trim kit? I've been looking everywhere and can't seem to find a kit to replace all of the wood grain interior trim components.

That's OEM trim covered with 3M 1080 Vinyl wrap.

Wow - great job on that! It looks really good.

Teaser. . . I'm throwing a 150 platform axle under Dig-Dug.


My 8" is cursed.

This was just rebuilt in June. Checked everything out before Crawl - nothing loose, just a clogged breather hose which was cleared. Started whining after Crawl on the way home. By 2nd day home, noticeable clank, so I parked it until I could look at it. Pulled the 3rd on Saturday and 2+ teeth missing on ring gear. The pinion is unharmed and the gear mesh is spot on. Minimum backlash measured, but repainted the teeth and Dugan said there's nothing wrong with the pattern. Hoping to get some warranty consideration on new gears for the 8.2" axle.

Dang, that is weird that it eat 2 teeth. My vote the ring didn't get a good heat treat. Probably been the issue all along, just finally decided to let go.

I bet I could find you an old 9" housing you could center and weld ends onto

"New" 8.2 axle from a 2012 FJC going in this weekend. Apparently rotors and axle shafts are not the same as the 8" due to an extra lip on the flange. Everything else is bolt for bolt the same as far as linkage goes. The calipers are the same too. That 3rd housing definitely looks beefier than the 8".

Also, surprisingly, the junkyard dogs didn't hack up the brake lines or e-brake cables.

When is the Marlin kit supposed to be delivered?

Still waiting for now, inside sources say next week, they have the final parts at zinc coating and were even optimistic that they would get them back Friday by close of business and ship out but we didn't get notice and since it's a holiday weekend there are few more days of waiting and then the wait from shipping from Cali to MS.

 

[jynx]

May '16 thru March '19 has disappeared again. Weird thing is that it was here a few weeks go, I was looking back at it.

I can't speak to the mystery of the missing thread dates, but based on some more insider info, I looks like RCLT kits will begin to ship next Friday... This is from "big Mike" himself but not directly to me.

Australian couple Jesse and Bailee, originally from Victoria, have always enjoyed travelling but it wasn't until living in Noosa that they were inspired to attempt living on the road.
