Not trying to sell anyone on the product, but fumoto does make a lever clip to lock the spring loaded lever in place between changes. If that is anyone's concern.

18" Tundra steel with holes. I like the old school look but my god do they weigh a ton. Luckily I am not looking for great performance!

I am up in the air on tires right now... leaning toward KO2s since they have good all around performance. Also considering Geolander AT-S because I had those on my 4Runner and loved them... and I love the look of the Duratrack but I worry that they might be loud

I have loved my BFG and Duratracs. Can't go wrong with either. The BFG KO2's will do better on the rocks, but the Goodyears are as good if not better in almost every other area of driving IMHO. KO2's are new legends, they work great and have a proven tougher side wall construction, something to consider if you're driving over lots of branches and roots on the ground. All things being equal, I like the look of the Duratracs, mine were quiet for the 1st half and got louder as time wore on... most do though.

Can't go wrong.

As @DirtDawg mentioned earlier, there are mannny more lower hanging parts on your rig that would prevent any contact with the Fumoto valve that could potientially cause a breakage. As long as you have decent OEM skids or any aftermarket ones, you will have on chance of breaking that valve.

@LXColorado Do you have a lift and what tires are you running? Those will also increase your ground clearance and make it even less likely to break that valve.

@TheForger. Yup! In the sig. 2.5" OME, and currently shopping around for some 295/75 r16 KO2's to replace the 285 Duratracs.
 
Got an alignment today after tweeking the T-bars after installing new wheels and tires.

Also, hired my little man to pressure wash my seat belts. Thanks @Daisy 53 for the tip.

I don't know what details are needed. I found stock depos on eBay for 60 each, which was a steal. (06-07 specific).
I emailed lightwerkz to see what the deal was. There was a video of a quad hid land cruiser on u tube. So I just went with them, emailed to see what the deal was, got a quote and sent them off. I know nothing of converting headlights. So for me they were great. I can wire anything but I wouldn't take a Dremel to headlights. Send me a message if someone wants specifics. I'll be glad to answer.

Put in the tough dog

put in the TD TourFlex springs last night in the dark, it really helped to boil off the work day stress. Next stop, front tbars, cause now I need to go up in the front.

Looks great I really like those springs. Do you happen to know your hub-to-fender measurements? I went with the Iron Man 2" and now I'm sitting at 23.5" in the rear. I was in the same boat as you and drove around with a horrible stink bug look for about 2wks before I reindexed & cranked the tbars to the proper rake. Made for an interesting interstate driving experience:)

Sure, I know the hub to fender..... :) 23 3/4 give or take a 1/4 cause it was a dark and stormy night. It is expected to settle a bit (1/4-3/8). I have to build my drawer setup and stuff some edc items in there. I had to adjust the mirrors and the seatback due to the rake. The rears are not harsh over bumps even though I'm a bit light yet.
 
Repacked PS and replaced DS wheel bearings and races. Very unhappy to find that my local dealership used a screwdriver and hammer to install the hub nuts the last time the job was done.

Tackling heater hose tees tomorrow night and ordered new motors for the front door lock actuators.

careful on tweaking the front torsion bars to high, you'll then need to install adjustable upper control arms and a good wheel alignment to adjust the caster to correct torque steer - I'm still trying to find the right balance.

Picked up my new ARB 50qt. fridge from REI. 20% off member discount, a $200 dividend, and a couple gift cards from my birthday got it down to $410.85 out the door. Now, on to wiring it up and building a slide.

Wow. I had no idea REI even carried ARB fridges! Thanks!!

Edit: Ordered the 50qt. Glad to have the 20% off, my dividend and gift REI gift cards.
