[OEMGUY0720]

Just delivered this afternoon and Ooof wrong part number

This’ll be on the for sale section soon.

Anyone who knows the correct part number for the passenger side rear door warning decal? My 2yo ripped it and threw it out lol

 

[crolison]

Got my Sherpa Rack load bars in today for the cruiser, so had to put them on.

Slapping on some new binders

Hmm let's see:

• Installed air lift air bags (still need to plumb the air lines!)
• Removed the concentric bump stops from the rear springs.
• Replaced the rear bump stops with Wheeler's off road bump stop (promptly snapped all 4 bolts and spent an ungodly amount to time drilling and tapping!)
• Replaced front bump with Wheeler's version
• Bought and installed ugly 18" OEM wheels with Bridgestone Blizzaks in 32" size. Wheels have a ton of corrosion but they were cheap!

What size bags did you go with for the 865 springs? Read some people went with a larger bag for 865 springs.

Been wondering about this, and would like to pile on to the questions, as I’m planning on adding airlift bags to mine—you have to get rid of the OEM bump stops, right? But they don’t recommend adding anything in lieu of? As in the bag becomes the bump stop, in theory? (Until it pops, anyway)

Questions:
Which Wheelers stops did you use, and why did you decide to add stops? And did you consider the timbren ones Exit off-road carries? And did you have to drill and tap holes in your frame to install?

There's really not that many, but if it happens you tend to hear about it here. Any engine with no coolant will blow.

Between here and the 4runner, gx470, and uzj100 groups there are quite a few weekly. Not to say that most of them aren't caused by human error but the fact that most of them report little to no red needle movement is concerning.

Amazon product ASIN B001F15YYAThey are a nice snug fit!

Yes, I had to remove the long, round bump stops in the middle of the spring. There isn't enough room for the air bags otherwise.

As for the bumpstops on the frame, yes I did consider the Timbren ones, but they cost twice as much as the wheelers version and frankly that felt a little too rich for some pieces of rubber!
Here are the ones I got:

 

[arkmm]

I finally did it!! Changed my T’s. Yes they were falling apart. Yes it should have been done a while ago. The biggest thing that helped me was using the small vice grips. They were worth their weight in gold for getting those clamps off.

Also got my light bar installed on Prospeed rack too

 

[prwillard2]

@Victory 4x4 roof rack + xprite 42” led light bar. Also got the Blue Ox base plate, wiring harness and RVI brake system installed! Updated all the turn signals to LEDs. The fronts are white/amber switch backs.

Glad I don’t have to meme you for blowing up your engine over a $10 part

didnt that happen to a cruiser that went to a HIH one time?

Probably...it’s happened all over, with seemingly increased frequency as of late.

Lifetime fuel filter my ass. Sure 345k miles, and according to maintenance records never been done, but this truck still seems to have a long life ahead of it. Mr T and I now have a love/hate relationship, at least until I forget about this. Change your filters, it’s super easy and about $30.

 

[Tanner H]

I just changed my fuel filter at 243k. Pretty sure it was original. didnt even cut her open, i just assumed it looked like yours.
