Those should work no problem. With or without spacers. The 1" variety will put those right back where the stock alloys resided BS wise

Thanks for the confirmation, thats what my math had told me as well. Only thing I have run into today is the center caps need a little clearanceing as they hit the nuts on the drive plates and fall off.... That and I cant go out into public with this set of tires on, it looks like I am running Mini truckin rubber on it with them as is. There is a soild 4 in height difference between the ones I have on it and these.... So I guess I have to order tires....
 
Had some spring pins welded on the swing outs today. The struts were a good idea but they lasted about a day before they broke. Bought some T handle pins and they're going to work a lot better. My bumper build guy is a Jeep person and he welded some studs from a Jeep on the spare carrier, that's all I needed was another sized lug socket so we cut those off and put some Toyota studs on.

 
cleaned up the tb and swapped in the oreilleys intake hose

Looks like you've done a better job than me on updating your hoses. I just picked up 6000mm of the tiny vacuum lines and ordered the remaining non standard hoses from Mr. T. Will be nice having pliable rubber in there again.

A few weekends ago, when I was feeling good. Weekend in Georgia doing some wheeling with friends.

Reworked a little wiring and got a couple new light switches installed. I've got a new BlueSea fuse panel that I need to get installed to finish cleaning up the last of the wiring I want to get to.

I just dug through their website. Tons of great stuff and unlike ebay vendors I'm confident in the quality of the switches. Contura stuff is good.
 
X2 on OTRATTW, great stuff
 
Swapped my "summer km2's and wheels" for "winter Yokohama's and

I started last weekend but im taking my time and waiting on parts.

1. Replaced charcoal canister with the VCwhatever one from that one thread.

2. A few months ago one of my belts snapped and the idler pulley is toast so i got a new idler puller on the way and all the belts off and new ones ready.

3. Ordered a new alternator and fan clutch which will be here next weekend.

4. One of the rubber hoses from the tranny to rad/trans cooler got a cut in it and dumped all my trans fluid. So i got new hoses from NAPA. Apparently they are only 9.5mm vs Toyota's 10mm so gotta push hard to get them on.

5. Im halfway done taking the trans pan off. Wanted to make sure there are no huge chunks or anything crazy going on since i lost most my fluid when the hose broke. I got all the nuts off just need to break the pan free. Will also need to extract like 3 or 4 broke pan screws the PO just left there. My pan is also stripping drain bolts so i gotta see why once i get it off.

6. Put new fusible links on.

7. Ordered a new EFI relay and discovered PO did a hack job on the wiring for the EFI relay. So im gonna properly splice new wires on and extend the EFI into the cab.

8. Replaced PCV Valve and grommet.

Right now im in a holding pattern for parts to come in. Hopefully have everything up and running by end of December.
