Cincinnati Area Thread (Tri-State, Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana)

Found this classic in my drawer today

 

Were you using OEM cvs? Most standard aftermarket cvs are junk. CVJ axles rebuilds oem only but can add hi angle boots.

 

My stock CV axles boots tore within a week. Granted, they were old.

I replaced the entire axle on both sides because, well, free replacements.

So, I rebooted the stock axles and waited for the new axle boots to tear on the new axles. 8 months.

Put the stock axles back in it.

I dont want to mess with that. AT ALL.

 

Then dont lift it overly high like you did the Tacoma. That one suspension shot posted in your build thread is obviously too much CV angle.

I know you are jaded because of that, but the vast majority lift some and have no problems for hundreds of thousands of miles. My only initial point was I think youll have trouble finding good stock-height parts so lift it a little + better tire clearance + obviously better looks.

 

New taco owner. Getting 3-1 pro-comp lift installed on 2/13/19 at 4 Wheel Parts. Putting on these while they're at it. SCS SR8's 17x8.5 285/70/17 duratracs.

 

Nice wheels. Do you plan to off-road at all?

No not really. At least not yet. Mainly dove fields and access roads.

 

Finally done! I love the new look!

 

Looks good

 

Those SR8's are growing on me. I wonder it the gunmetal would look good on my white truck.

 

Nice! Now ditch those farm plates and the air dam under the bumper. Will help the overall look!

 

Farm plates?

 

I've got 3rd gen OR wheels on mine. They're kinda gunmetal painted if you ignore the machined face parts. Look damn good, I'd definitely run a gunmetal painted wheel on white.

 

From what I can tell, Sport wheels and OR wheels are pretty much the same design. What do you think?

 

Took air dam off. Not a fan of it, putting back on lol
