Looks like 60% chance tuesday and Wednesday, then 20% on Thurs/Fri, then 60% Sat/Sun
Mixed forecast for sure, who knows at this point. Those night rides might get interesting, LOL

I didn't mention rain. Wet weather gear is to put on so I can wash it before I bring it back home.
I have come to he conclusion that the weatherman licks his finger and sticks it out the window beyond 2 days out so who knows what'll happen. That said, If it does rain and you see a bunch of "no door, big tar" guys hauling ass down P1 trying to back to camp please get outta the way.
Actively trying to will things to get done, I'm not him so this is my only choice and things aren't looking good. Probably just be hanging out at GSMTR.
You're welcome to ride passenger in the 40, dude!
I'm hoping we don't need that wet weather gear.
its looking like it...

Well, my much needed wrench therapy session went well. My phones about to die so more pictures tomorrow, but here are a couple from today.
Gained about 1.5" up front and 2" Out back, since I was sagging in the rear I am pretty much dead level now.

Looks great, Man!
Thank you sir. Next will be a set of sliders since Erin says that is the only way that the running boards can go away.
@jynx your sway bar ain't hooked up.
Ran Prentice Cooper National Forrest with the GA FJ Cruisers group. There were probably a couple of spots that I could rate at 3+ on a dry day like yesterday. Ran into Dan Kunz. Great weather, Good People, and awesome trail, 15 mins from my house.
Yeah, made the swap easier. All back together now, but I do need new bushings for it. Also found I have a rear axle seal that needs replacing too.
Looks really good. Which kit did you go with f on icon? I really like the leveled look. I need some adjustables and new springs as well.
It is a Stage 1 kit paired with some OME 906 coils in the rear.

The COs come preset at around 2" of lift, if you need more you can take them up and match with some taller coils. I only wanted 2" so it worked perfectly for me.
This one is a little deceiving, but the old coils were slapped smooth out. Not sure why they had a longer unloaded length.
Also, everything I've read always says to reuse the "body washer" on top of the lower bushings, but the new ICON bushings are HUGE and I was afraid reusing it would actually do more damage so I left it out.
Other than that, I think the only other picture of interest would be the new and old front side by side.
The old fronts were a highlander set, so that's why I didn't get as much perceived lift in the front, since I probably was a half inch to inch higher up front already. All in all I am probably right at 2"-2.5" over stock. The CV angles look good so, but I think I need to reboot one of them soon, not busted, but showing a little leakage. Biggest thing is going to be getting that axle rear axle seal fixed. For now I will too off the rear fluid and roll, but it is going to need to be pretty close to the top of the "to-do" list.
Mine's not hooked up either. It's laying on a shelf in the garage.
Mines been gone for years, I was just giving @jynx a hard time.
Looking forward to meeting everyone and having a good week/weekend. Just hope the rain holds off a little!
