Fire's Toy

How is the install on them, Something I can go in the driveway with handtools?

 

yea. only tools required are jack, jack stands, grinder, hammer, punch, drill with 3/16ths and 1/2" drill bits, and some wrenches. the worst part of it is getting the old hanger off, obviously those rivets dont give up easily.

here are a few flex shots from the driveway... as of here i am showing a full 10" of travel which isnt bad considering thats on factory leafs with a simple AAL and the shackle flip.

 

Man your killing me, Can you PM the price on a set.

 

just to point it out. in those flex pictures the rear shocks are removed. i did this so i could see the maximum travel from the springs alone. from some measuring i now know that the 8" travel 5125 bilsteins i have are not long enough. i was showing right at 10" of travel. i just want to note to everyone that in order to maximize flex you would need to run longer shocks. i am currently researching to see if there is a shock available that would bolt on to the factory mounts that would be long enough.

 

Yea I see yours shocks are out, Im running Icons in the the rear im sure there long enough, If not I guess I get some new ones.

 

do you know if they are 8" or 10" travel shocks?

 

Looks like a simple but effective swap you've got there Fire.

 

I wanna say 10" I can flex till the fender stops the tire and probly still go some more

 

yea my rear used to get into the fender some as well. had to fix that problem after the rubbing caused the bedside to kink. now the top of my tire will just disappear behind the fender.

thanks relentless. it fixed the problem i had with the stock mounts hanging down so low, plus i got the added benefit of extra flex! woohoo!

 

^^^Thats sweet^^^

 

thanks!

 

so excite!!!

 

X2 on that.....

 

thanks!!

 

If you were ever thinking of doing a high clearance rear bumper DO IT!!! I saw one of these in person last night on Channing's (sp? sorry) black TRD access cab. Fit and Finish are perfect!

 

thanks! so you know channing do ya?!

 

yea dude its the weirdest thing, I met him about 2 years ago through a mutual friend, we all went to Atlanta to the Georgia dome to see a supercross event. At that time he was driving a Tiburan or something like it. I had talked to him a couple times in between then and now and seen his truck around town not knowing it was him. Last night we both pull up to the local pizza joint at the same time and we were both like holly shit. I knew as soon as I pulled up when I saw that rear bumper it was familier so I asked him if it was ArmorTech, Its a small world. I'm very happy to have run into him and his buddies (one with the FJ) so were gona do some wheelin/shoot the shit soon. Hopefully down the road sometime I can get some ArmorTech on my truck, I was blown away with the quality of his high clearance.

 

Great job Fire.... Looks very nice!

 

thanks!

i take it you meet matt, the blue FJ? matt and i ride together alot, we are trying to do a run in URE sometime in may, still no real details though. hopefully i'll run into ya sometime soon.

 

Maybe matt, but there was no Blue FJ there???? the guy I met had a yellow FJ with blacked out front grill, he was pulling a brp ds 650 i think. Let me know when yall go down to URE, I could be down for that.
