    Sweet. I'll have to do more research? What is a good company to buy coils from? I want the best. I've heard that the toytec HD coils are good for flex and give 2.5" of lift.

    I know ADS, King, and Icon are highly recommended. I am running OME rear coils, they are alright. I would not say they are the best.

    Those springs are right off the main road in/out, Hwy 4. Look up Spence Hot Springs. Other options are San Antonio hot springs, located at the north end of FR 376 north of 126, and McCauley Hot Springs on the east fork of the Jemez, about a mile hike from either battleship rock or Jemez falls.

    Well guys it was a long night but we got the new axle under the trailer. 13" narrower so now it matches the 4Runner track width and has electric brakes. Man trailer brakes make a big difference oh and the new axle is easily 100 pounds lighter than old one.

    Yes I'd ship if you pay..I'll even take it towards the front range as I'm going there at the end of the month.

    It's essentially the bottom half of this..I have ground off the vertical supports. I could ship it as is but I think I'm going to mod it just a little. I could cut it down to a 3/4 rack also or add/remove what's necessary for someone. It'll be ready in a couple days..but sure price yet.

    If he wants it and is willing to pay shipping, it is his. I am looking for something slim to go next to the roof box. A half rack, that is "hot dog" not "hamburger" if you will.

    No snow till March. :frusty:

    I pretty much know where all those are! I will probably be working in the caldera and staying at the Jemez Mountain Inn. I could totally hit some of those up after work or for lunch!

    I thought about crashing the meet you guys had, but my hatred for 285 was too strong this weekend! Haha

    So I took my bumper off yesterday installing my body lift and I didn't realize til then that the amber covers in my front bumper was lights. I thought they were just reflectors :facepalm: The bulbs are good in them but they are not working.

    Stupid question. Are these dtrl or turn signals or what?
