    You'll like the ifs rear when you decide to put it in. I wish i had a set of is front hubs on hand so i could get rid of the spacers i have on there now.

    I layed out of work today because my back and leg is in pretty bad pain. I should have made my buddy do all the work yesterday. Oh well, I went to 4wp up the street and ordered my tires. I went with 35x12.5x15 KM2's cause they were on sale and the guy behind the counter (Aaron I think?) gave me a discount because I am in there all the time and he also has an old Yota. So those will be mounted later this week.

    I just got off the phone with ECGS. I'm heading up there now with the diffs and gears. I'm getting a spool for the rear to cut further costs, a spartan for the front, and solid pre-load spacers.

    4wp quoted me twice the amount for labor as ECGS. :rolleyes: Damn they are proud of their work, or were just tryin' to take me for a fool.

    Ordered the brake proportioning valve kit from Front Range Off-Road. Still trying to figure out exactly how to remove the LSPV.

    Yes sir it took me a while to get this going but its going now. I think the 35's and 5.29's should make climbing a lot easier. I'll move up to 36-37's next year hopefully when I get t-case gears.

    Yeah the 5.29's will help, but the case is where it's at man... saves you a lot of aggravation and clutch. 4.7's is great if you have a manual just because you can go through the gears and still get around good. If you wanted to go all out duals with 4.7 rear would be sick :cool:

    just my 2 cents... but on a DD 35, MAYBE 36 is all I would go with. I mean you can go over just about anything at URE with 33's. If you intend to go to some of the more extreme parks then 35's would be nice, but with larger tires comes more headache. You will be to upgrade axles, hubs, etc to handle the torque.

    I completely agree. I have single case 4.7s now and i wouldn't have it any other way. That is until my dual go in.

    Alright I think I have the LSPV delete figured out. It seems I can just block off the return line at the T-fitting in the passenger front wheel well, remove the entire LSPV assembly, and connect the rear pressure line directly to the flex line. I was making it seem harder than it is.

    :D :yay:

    KM2's were on sale and I got a hook up on price and road hazard. Some of these 4wp guys aren't bad but their labor sucks.

    Thanks man! I can't wait to get it back on all 4. Still have the brakes to work on while the diffs are out.

    The front is good, already has vented rotors with v6 calipers with plenty of pad. The rear brakes are in bad shape so they are getting rebuilt and the LSPV is getting removed and a prop. valve next to the master in its place.

    Yota porn :jerkoff:

    I wish I had dropped the extra $ and did duals. The 4.7's with the automatic is too low... I need an in between gear.
