If you find better skids, post it up. I was thinking along the same lines.

Trail-Gear. They're the most affordable by far.

Looking good. The roof rack I mean. :)

Hey no worries, I'll be sure to name drop, haha.

Could you maybe point me to the right thread/search words? I tried suspension, suspension travel, bumpstops, bumpstop, and bump stop and I've found nothing relevant to my questions so I figure I'm doing it wrong :elkgrin:

Lately I've been trying to source other suspension options for the front of my Montero other than just new torsions and shocks as they are fairly limited in the travel department. So far I've found nothing but I still want more travel out of the front. Has anyone tried using low profile...

Shoot, my stock rig on 33s has issues with a few (low) garages around here. We've got some tall rigs.

How does one extend the upper ball joint? Is there a vendor that sells a ball joint spacer, like the ones for older toyotas?

The 94-97s have 4.6 gears that seem to handle the 33s just fine. I'm running 33x10.5s and while there was a power loss going to the 33s from the 31s, it isn't too bad. Still waaaay faster than my buddy's 4runner on 32s :jump:

Oh cool, thanks. Guess I should've checked wikipedia first, eh?

I can't answer all your questions but I can answer some. The shocks have three different levels of stiffness: soft, medium and hard. There is a noticeable difference between each setting. The shocks have what looks like a stepper motor on the top and I'm assuming they turn an adjuster. The...

I like that answer so I'm going to go with it :sombrero: In all honestly, that makes sense. I was wheeling in a nice sandy wash the other day and I was able to drift decently with the truck in AWD. The rear bias would account for that, somewhat.

I meant when its in the unlocked position. CYi5's 4Runner has an AWD option in its transfer case too and when its unlocked its a helical-type limited slip unit. I was wondering if ours were the same.

Perfect. I was debating keeping my stock shocks with the OME springs too. Glad you're going to guinea pig it for me :bike_rider:

Does anyone know what kind of diff the center differential is? Open, limited slip?

Did you go with the OME sport shocks too or what?

The next phase of my project involves replacing the passenger side headlight as mine is cracked and full of water. Anyone have one or know where I could get one?

Lookin good. I was thinking about painting mine black too but I wasn't sure how it would look with the wheel design. Do the chrome centers look terrible on the black wheel or are you just going for an all black look?

Well its never too later to learn how to fix those things, right?
