Andrew H - My Build

Yes it cleared my shit just fine.

 

im so appreciate thank you !! oh by the way front lifted what is mersurement of fender flares front and end

 

You're welcome. I don't know what you are wanting measured. I have my front 5100s set to 1.75"... is that what you wanted? My fender flares are the same as yours.

 

yes mersurement fender flares front 36 1/2 and back 37 " and what about you ??

 

From where to where.

 

measuring at the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender flares

 

about 37.5" up front and 38.5" for the rear. passenger side with half tank gas.

 

Now rockin' the foglight anytime mod thanks to Roy (VeinGuy)!

 

Something is squeaking in the rear of my truck and its annoying as fuck. Its probably my rear springs.

Now I will be looking into a new leaf pack and setting my front 5100s to 0" and getting some Eibach or OME coils up front for the lift. Gotta start researching for some UCAs too.

 

Guaranteed it's your rear leafs squeaking. They all tend to do that after awhile, but it's SO easy to remedy with about 20 minutes and some grease. If you're happy with the way it rides, I would just keep them greased, otherwise I highly recommend new springs (so that I can take your TSB springs off your hands ).

 

It was actually because I was missing a bolt from my right leaf pack. Which I thought was weird because when I was shaking my truck when it was parked it was absolutely silent. Since I didn't hear anything I didn't bother to inspect it any further.

Toyota said the only way they could have fallen out was not being torqued properly. They took care of it for me considering they were the last ones to touch it when they did the rear spring TSB for me.

Trucks been silent ever since!

 

Ah, well that's a lot better than the usual squeak, which I myself have right now and need to take care of.

Another question, scanning your build thread, did you say you're getting better mpg with your 265/75 Duratrac's than you were with 265/70 BFG AT's?

 

Don't know to be honest. I only had the 265/70r17s on my truck for about two weeks, tops. But those were the C load range so I think I would have been getting to same mileage that I am currently getting.

After I sold those I picked up the 265/75r16 BFGs which were a 10 ply side-wall; which is what hurt my mpgs a lot.

So I returned those and picked up the 6 ply (c load range) Duratracs in the same size. The 265/75r16 Duratracs were 10lbs lighter per tire than the 265/75/r16 BFGs.

 

Picked up an AFE pro dry filter from a member on here. $30 shipped to my house.

Haven't noticed any change in anything but at least I won't have to worry about replacing it when I service my truck.

 

mmm
tastefully done
can't beat a mgm w/black accents.
Keep it up

 

Thanks man! Your old Taco was what gave me the itch to trade in my 1st gen. Like what you've done to the FJ so far.

 

LOve your truck dude.

 

sweet looking setup you got there Andrew! I like the 1.75. is that front and back? i think thats the look im going for myself.

Also how did you set it up so you can run your fogs anytime?

Thanks!

Only the front shocks of the 5100s are adjustable. They have four settings: 0.0", .85", 1.75", and 2.5". The rear shocks aren't adjustable, but they are tuned a lot better than the stock Bilsteins.

I think the 1.75" is perfect. Going up to 2.5" will make the ride a lot more firm because the stock coils will be compressed a lot more. I've also read of people having more "road wander" going up to 2.5". Maybe later I will get some OME springs and set my front 5100s to 0.0" and get the lift from the springs.

Veinguy, a member on here, hooked me up with the fog light anytime mod a couple months back. Took him all of two minutes. There is a "how to" write up somewhere on the site.

What part of the Bay Area you from? I grew up in the Cupertino/Sunnyvale area.
