    Do what now? You aren't going to be able to just extend the joints 2 or 3.5" to make them LT arms (which arms BTW?)

    Exactly hahaha. No leaking digressive valving for me
    I agree. You wouldn't normally be able to do that with standard, aftermarket, vertical uniball arms. Mine are custom built, running those joints as horizontal uniballs. They're adjustable in every direction. I can change the length of the spindle by threading the joint up and down. I can change the castor by putting a stainless washer on either side of the misalignment bolt. It will make more sense with photos, but you'll just have to trust that I know what I'm doing hahaha

    A little bit of weeping is normal. They're just sad they aren't Kings.

    I saw that, man that is a lot of money for an ugly grill and some retrofit lights.

    Every time I see your old rig though, it makes me want to put my copper wheels on the 4runner. That IJM/Copper combo looks amazing.

    I agree it's not the best looking kit...$825 bones is a lot to drop.

    Link? Think I'll need them with MT? Been thinking about doing the rears, and upgrading to SS all around doesn't seem like a bad idea. I have to do my pads and rotors soon anyhow.

    Thanks. I thought it would set it off pretty well. Speaking of wheels....

    Keep the mag gray wheels/trim? Lose the gray trim? Too much gray? I might try and wrap the trim matte black and see what it looks like

    Looks pretty good to me, but needs bigger tires. With some 33's it should fill out the wheel well better and tie it all together.

    Yeah, like I said, I'm thinking 255/85 cooper maxx and I think it'll look good. Give it a little more height.

    Yeah that size would be perfect as you won't be sticking way outside the wheel well like a 285 and give you a lot of sidewall.

    I know people hate on it, but you can always just plastidip a door moulding (easiest to prep and eventually remove) just to see if you like the matte black. Unless you have a ton of wrap and are quick at installing it. Figure one can ($7) and 1 hour later you can see if you like it.
