Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

The FJ is ~1" narrower than the Tacoma. I am installing Hiems in my uppers to get the camber back into spec. With cams all the way in, i was at minus 2.3 and 3. I don't know about the 4runners, if they are the same as the FJ or the Tacoma. Or if there are any differences between my long travel kits and yours.

 

guess i will have to find out. i am putting total chaos expedition stock width lowers in along with secondary shocks. so tons of welding.

 

Harry is such a tease.....

 

This is exciting. Adapt an 8-lug hub and Ill take a set!

 

@81Trekker At one point you mentioned a wheel well/fender support replacement. You still thinking about going that route? What was the plan for the batter?

 

They are being designed as we speak and will be available early next year

 

Is it going to be something that completely gets rid of the factory inner fender structure and wheel well?

 

Yes the entire inner fenders will be removed and a new fabricated pieces will be made with a lot more clearance so you can get all the uptravel with big tires. It will also have radiator core support bracing to keep it from ripping apart along with a beefy dual battery mount setup and additional mounts for things like aftermarket fuse blocks and ARB compressors

 

Between that, fabbed spindles, front, AND rear L/T, sounds like my 2021 paychecks are spoken for

 

Very interested especially since I need to make a whole new core support structure anyways.

 

IF you need a truck to check clearances with the supercharger reservoir you just let me know

 

The sooner the better please..

And you should see the upper radiator support. There is a lot of movement going on with in the core support when on the trails.

Even the hood latch.. Fixed with one from a 90's Corolla from Pick A Part..

 

Might have to sell my m3 for all this..

 

My latch snapped off lost it on the trail. Ratchet strapped the hood closed for the ride home. Put hood pins in well now the area that I put the hood pins where the old rubber stoppers are have completely torn away from the main structure. Hood now wants to pull those out. So back to the ratchet strap again

I have some ideas floating for some new front end stuff. Would be cool to incorporate an already made product to keep the time down some in making what I want/need.

 

What's the point in going fast if you still have to watch out for cops?

 

No hood pins for me until I figure out a proper way to fix all this. I have a piece of 1/2" flat that fits inside a channel in this corner held in place with a fastener on both sides of it. The passenger side has very recently cracked all the way across as well..

Definitely looking forward to running a contest to see who has the most f’ed up inner fenders/core support

 

Damn Harry. I might as well change my direct deposit to JD fabs account. Keep adding all these new parts I want.

 

I've got a few more wheeling trips to keep ripping mine apart, I just don't have the batter falling out and wheel wells ripping (from jumping???) like was already posted.
