oh how i love the bumper colored trim molding on the side of the various trim packages! i really am considering painting mine!

its going to look awesome, hows the seat of the pants feel of the new exhaust?

I will soon, pm me if u want

do u have your stock front suspension coils laying around? i am a 3rd gen 4runner owner and could really use a pair to lift the rear end of my rig

Feels more powerful particularly on the highway it does not downshift as much on the hills. This is without the LandTank MAF modification. I expect it to get even better then!

Sliders! (on the pallet)

GOing on Friday with the TiReS

MetalTech did a great job of protecting them in shipping! Very nice and darn heavier than I thought they'd be...

LandTank MAF modification is in and it feels great! The shifts are smoother and nearly imperceptible. Power increase at all RPM's is obvious. This is the best mod for the money I've ever done on a vehicle, two thumbs up!!!!!

When purchasing my gears do I need the "refresh/install" kit or can the shop simply drop the 4.88's in? I have 147K on my rig if that is helpful!

 

[beachcomberspi]

Tires are on!

The guys at the shop didn't believe me when I told them they'd fit in there!

I'm far from an expert but I opted for the master install kit. Whether you're doing it yourself or paying someone, the extra expense is worth NOT having to open a diff for another 147k.

Wow you certainly delivered with the pics haha.

I also decided on Metal Tech sliders once I get the funds in a few months.

I need to enlarge my garage so I can put 35's and the 2.5" lift on haha.

 

[beachcomberspi]

^Thanks, Grumpy!

Enlarging the garage is what any reasonable man would do when confronted with this situation!

Metal Tech Sliders are on

they are super well made, easy to install and look sexy!

A couple of thoughts on the tires. They were balanced and did not need weights! Mickey THompson claims within 1%...I believe it. The tread is aggressive, almost looks like a MT. They are amazingly quiet on the highway and soak up road imperfections better than the Michelin stock 31's. I'm impressed so far! I am doing an elk hunting trip to Colorado this Fall so I will give a report on how they are after a few thousand miles, cheers!!

Woot Woot OME 850/860 with Doetsch Tech shocks (and bump stop extensions) going on today and tomorrow!!! Pics to follow! Also doing a mini tune up with Cap/Rotor, plugs, PHH, and the radiator is seeping so hoses and SPectra Premium Radiator. I wish I had gone Koyo but am on a time limit. We shall see how long it goes.

 

[beachcomberspi]

Whoops!

 

[beachcomberspi]

I was super excited to post these pics. The lift is on, the phh is changed, the leaky radiator is fixed and I am ready for the next challenge-likely Slee Short bus front with Warn 9.5XP and a 4 x 4 labs rear bumper.....probably in the Spring..pics of my 2.5" OME 850/860. Glad I went 35's to begin with. They almost look small even with this tiny lift!

Very nice!!!
