Trying out the spidertrax spacers. 1.25. I like the front end feel a little more with them. No weird fit issues or anything. Time will tell if they stay on. Looks a bit better with it being flush after the swap.

I put mine on earlier this week, and feel the same way. Between new tie rod ends, two new front CV axles, then recently swapping 23yo AHC globes, the spacers, and then doing the techstream/ torsion bar thing today- it rides a LOT better. If the old K02s on it were in better balance it'd be like a new truck.View attachment 2931665View attachment 2931668View attachment 2931669View attachment 2931671

How are these compared to the factory arms? Thickness and sturdiness wise? I like that these retain a factory style bushing.SPC rear lower control arms. I definitely felt the difference afterwards. Truck tracks straight now, no more wandering. Will upgrade rear uppers later. Merry Christmas Mudders!

For sure. Read through this thread: More evidence why the LX is quieter than the Land Cruiser - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/more-evidence-why-the-lx-is-quieter-than-the-land-cruiser.968566/This looks like an excellent mod, can you give some more info on the seals?
Is this a vastly better improvement over just adjusting them.
This is a great install. Well done.Had a slightly busy weekend with the cruiser. I got the Huracan tailgate storage installed. I opted to cut the center support for more storage. I also extended the rear diff breather. The front, I’ll do when I replace the steering rack in a few weeks.
The diff breather hose was 1/4” fuel line. I routed it through the factory breather mount up to the fuel filler neck. Ran it up the neck and, tied in a universal fuel filter to keep debris out, before feeding it out into the fuel fill door cavity.

From what I have gathered this is a right of passage for our 100s. Congratulations!My D bulb burned out, I didn't mind it while it worked the last 5 years i've had my 100, let's see if I get to replacing it one day.
Check into the steering column for play too if you haven't already.Finally bit the bullet and ordered new OEM CV along with the entire front end it feels like. All things for both wheel bearings, flanges, oil seals.
Debating doing the steering rack as I have a little leak and theres some play. Thought I could get by on superpro bushings, but nah.

Yessir. Went through it. Tried everything before realizing it’s the rack and inner tie.Check into the steering column for play too if you haven't already.
BTW I like that username, shrooms are awesome
Not that I’ve found.Do prices below $420 come up for CVs these days?
You may benefit from replacing front diff bushings if haven't done yet. That will reduce the infamous driveline clunkFinally bit the bullet and ordered new OEM CV along with the entire front end it feels like. All things for both wheel bearings, flanges, oil seals.

Yep. They were done a while back. Helped a bunch, but I can feel the clunk in the flange and cv spines. Can hear it too. Just a matter of time when I’m off the beaten path and they strip. Nice little clicking sound too. It’s time. 206k.You may benefit from replacing front diff bushings if haven't done yet. That will reduce the infamous driveline clunk
