    Thanks Gabe. Sling def put the brakes on wheeling since the 6MT and shoulder surgery don't get along. Was back at square one this past Sept when I separated the same shoulder.

    Had a little snow/rain/sleet/sun in the backyard over the past hour. Good old PNW.

    Think its the front drivers CV...more specifically the needle bearing that is a problem. So 4.56's from ECGS have been knocked off the "to do" list, well will be done this weekend after they show up. If you haven't seen the thread ECGS has a made a new bearing/bushing that has seemed to resolve the diff vibes.

    Updated last night...gears are finished. The ECGS bushing took away the vibes and made the whole rig feel smoother.

    Now to solve my front clunk.

    Just hurry and solve your lack of long travel issue. Or was it wide travel? Can't remember.

    Narrow travel for compact parking spots and to lane split. The real issue is King or Fox, I mean blue or black...it's all about anodized colors.

    Programmed and installed the Hypertech in line programmer...looks like mpg will be the same of not a little better with the 4.56's. Pretty nice having an accurate speedo, first time in 39k miles.

    Did the 500 mile break-in gear oil change. Hand pumping 85-140w Lucas gear oil was a PITA, and I thought 75-90w was thick. I can really tell the difference in the fluids though, very smooth feeling, like it.

    Hey man I love the build! Nice setup, I'm going to run the fox co's and rear shocks. I def want to go with the fj fox shocks, because I'm going to run a 2.5" lift in the rear. I was just wondering how you got the tacoma bushings in the shocks Ive read up on several ways... http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/suspension/50524-mod-rear-fj-shock-tacoma-mount.html Just wondering how you decided to do it and how you like the shocks.

    Thanks. The Foxes have been great, make sure you get them re-valved if you pick up the FJ spec ones. For the lower eyelet I used a metal sleeve bushing, something off the shelf at ORW...I forget the exact dimensions of it.

    Well Luna our malamute decide the memory foam mattress we've used in the back for a year or so now was better off in 10000 pieces. So this replaced it. Wanted the full kit, but 380 vs 180. Also picked up rear weathertechs for $40 bucks, they ordered the wrong color for a guy so I got it for cheap.
