I just noticed that the Cooper SST came in C rating.....I guess it's a little late since my Duratracs will be here tomorrow.

Not going to happen, this transformation has actually rekindled the flame for me. My primary focus is weight......I've never owned a rig under 4k lbs :)!

After much research, the next two items on the "list" are: 1. CBI bolt-on sliders w/ kickouts 2. BudBuilt skid plate set w/ rear crossmember Anybody have any personal experience/input with any of the above? *Edit - I decided to go ahead and order an Inchworm E-locker motor guard and...

Ha.....I know :p I told my wife that I can't believe I'm actually giving GY another shot, if they turn out anything like the MTR's, they will be in the classified thread next week :)! I was just struggling to find a C-rated tire that was semi-aggressive in 265/75/16. The BFG T/A KO's I...

I ordered a set of Goodyear Duratracs in 265/75R16 (C-rated / 6 ply) yesterday, they should be arriving at my local Discount Tire store before the end of this week.

I'm pretty sure that my factory springs have sagged some, but the driver's side was 21-7/8" and the passenger side measured 22". That was measuring from the center of the hub to the bottom of the factory fender flares.

Guess it's time to start a new build thread. Put some Bilstein 5100's on all four corners, set the fronts on the middle setting (1.25") and reused all the factory springs. Put Toytec 1" lift shackles on the back. Also added a Truxedo bed cover, Husky floor liners, new stereo, Engel twist...

Yeah I've been studying all the options. I think I'm going to end up just sticking with 265/75-R16 Hankook MT's, since I don't want to regear and I'm only lifting the truck about an inch. I'm trying to keep this one as low as possible and also trying to keep my fuel milage as close to stock as...

I'm afraid that with the Bilsteins set on the middle setting (1.25") that my back end will be too low, since the leafs are negative arched pretty bad right now. But if I put an add-a-leaf back there I'm afraid that it will then raise the rear end too much. Plus I think I'll be forced to go to...

Yeah, it's looking like I'll most likely be going with 265/75-R16 Hankook Dynapro MT's when the BFG AT's wear out. Right now my speedometer is reading about 2 MPH too fast (according to my GPS), so the 75's should get it pretty close if I'm thinking the right direction....

Ha, nothing too extreme for this one. I ordered some Bilstein 5100's for the front to level it up. Probably throw some sliders on it to protect the rocker panels. Already did the gray wire mod and installed the twistlock plug for the Engel. Want to go with a slightly larger tire than it has...

bow-chicka-bow-wow :)

Guess I'll need to start a new build thread for the latest victim sooner or later....... This one is going to be a little on the milder side, definitely more expo and less rock crawling. Probably going to just go with a 3" Stage 1 Icon lift, 285's, Budbuilt sliders, homemade skids, not sure...

Yep, it's been relocated to Kentucky. Time to start building "stuff" for her new FJ.......I'm just the underpaid fabricator on this one :).

Sold

hmmmm......

Didn't you have an ABR in the factory rear axle? If so, did you have any problems with it? I'm considering throwing one in the back of my '08 sometime down the road......now than my '01 has been relocated to a new home.

Sale pending

ttt - $16k Would consider possibly trading for a 2004 Tacoma 4dr, 4WD, V-6, auto trans. that's close to stock condition.

ttt - I'll kick in a brand new Ready Welder II that's never been used.
