    Built some brake line bracket relocation plates to adjust the mounts over a couple inches. Just need to clean the edges up and shoot some black paint on them. Although I used aluminum to not worry about rust.

    I got home from work today and I noticed this :confused:... took it right away to a shop to get it plugged. The shop guys didn't guarantee it will hold for very long due to the area in which it got damaged. I guess this is my excuse to get new tires. any suggestions? i was looking into Nitto Trail Grapplers or GOODRICH BFG MUD TERRAIN T/A KM2

    Is it just me or is that just sticking into the tread block? If it is I don't think tire replacement is a necessity

    Hmmm, must be at just the right angle to create a leak... Sorry to hear that. Enjoy your future new rubbers!

    A bit late and pointless but, I would recommend getting a puncture kit and carrying it with you. ARB makes a fantastic kit and have used em a handful of times. Honestly, that is much less than what I have plugged, regardless of angle and run the tires until the tread has completely worn.

    Enjoy the tires!

    Look into Hankook ATM tires, buy a 265 width tire but the tread is closer to a 285 size. I got 73,500 out of my last set. :)

    I never thought about 265, but I might consider them. Looks like these tries have great reviews and seem more affordable :D.

    Didn't do it today, but tomorrow I am installing my full OME lift kit - 887 on 90021 Struts, trim packer, 60091 rear shocks, and dakars with the aal.

    Any tips/tricks that I should know before hand. I've read through bjmoose's write up time and time again and am pretty comfortable with it, and have 2 other guys that are interested in helping me for some beers and lunch.

    Appreciate any input!

    Small stuff so far compared to some of you, but just replaced the stock 245/75 Dunlops with Cooper 265/70/r16. Much better! Also debaged the tailgate (surprisingly easy!) and picked up some PlastiDip for tomorrow's fun with the remaining badges and wheels (until we decide which wheels on the short list to buy)

    Headstrong sent me this pic of my built 6112's before shipping them. Can't wait. They set them up one notch from the bottom, which according to the Bilstein chart is 1.05" of lift. However lots of 4Runner owners are saying they are getting more lift than advertised. I'm shooting for somewhere under 2" lol.
