    Hey let me know what they say about your Brake and ABS lights being on. Mine came on recently and I can't think of why. Mine is going into the shop for some other stuff here on Tues. But let me know what you find out.

    I am going to guess wheel bearing? Any other bearing symptoms?

    Not that I'm aware of. I was stupid and forgot to plug the ABS sensor back in before I left for Moab and ripped it out but the brake light came on when I was towing Ripcord's 4Runner back to NM. It came on after about 4 hours of driving. :eek: All my temps were good, as far as I could tell. Jim (Ripcord) suggested that it might have been my transmission or something? But I have no idea.:confused:

    I actually got into an accident about a week ago now and now my speedo and fuel gauge are acting up as well. :confused: The truck goes in on Tuesday and they are gonna diagnose the problems and then let me know. The gas and speedo problems didn't start until after the accident though.

    Thanks for keeping me posted Styfu510.

    Mid-travel and you're able to keep your fender flares!? I like it... no I don't... I love it.

    You should check out Wicked 2007's setup, his is also pretty hollowed out, but he also used a sheet of acryllic from TAP Plastics that he bent into shape using a heat gun. The whole process is actually pretty easy,

    1. Get a large sheet of card board
    2. Cut it up to size
    3. Lay it out on the acrylic
    4. Put in all the score marks
    5. Cut it on a small jigsaw
    6. Get the heat gun and bend it into shape
    7. Drill your mounting holes
    8. Screw it in

    I got the truck back, but the light went off after they fixed the leak. So unfortunately I have no help for you. :(

    Thanks, but the fenders are cut, as well as the flares. All the pinch welds flattened, and looks like going to have be cut off. Cab mount chop is going to be redone soon for more clearance.

    Hey Alex,

    Can you pull the code from the scangauge? Try to reset it using the scangauge and see if it comes back.

    yeah, I have to look through the scangauge instructions as I never used it to read codes.

    As for now, I gotta bust out the angle grinder / cutter and a BFH, gotta clearance the front & rear of the truck some more. :rolleyes:

    Tires look sweet! Those are the exact tires I want so I'll be interested to hear your impressions on them. Got any side pictures?
