Hey man I was just wondering what kind of miles you see your tires getting/got. I'm thinking about getting them next. I have toyo mts but Im on the road way too much because of my job and lookin for something like what your running. Thanks!

 

You mean how long they last? I just got the MTZ's so I dont really know. My ATZ's got about 60k - 65k. I expect the MTZ's to be close to that.

 

Was just wondering how you got your cv's on such a nice, straight angle after your lift?

 

What picture are you looking at? Are you sure its not of my 09 with the OME lift? My current set up had the fins touching so I had to do the stretch mod.

 

Its a picture with your ome lift on your 09 i guess. Its on the first page almost the whole way down a few pics after your cb drop. Im havin some vibes after puttin my 3 inch lift on at low speeds and then again after about 50 mph. SOme guys on here have told me that it might be the carrier bearing. Did that fix the problem for you and if so at what cost and how much time did it take?

 

On my 09n it did. On my new truck I still get some take off shutter. It all depends, but it only takes 5 minutes to do.

 

Well I finally got my spindle gussets welded on thanks to Will.

And here's hofs05's 4runner next to my truck rocking her new decal

 

Why linexing my sliders was a bad idea



It was a huge pain but I stripped all the linex off and spayed them with bed liner


Finished product

 

Looks good mike. i think you'll enjoy how much easier it is to touch up now. your bumper linex holding up ok?

 

Yeah its doing just fine. I have run into a problem with the sliders though. The bottle opener on the bottom of my sandles has taken a chunk of the bed liner off.

 

try some skate board grip tape, that might help

 

Did you put primer on yours? I didnt even think about it

That was my first thoight

 

no primer on mine. I scrape them up too much to make it worth it. figure i have to repaint them anyway, so why have an extra step. i think jason primed his sliders though.

 

How the heck did you get the line x off?

I did but I have paint on them now. I originally put the bedliner on the bare sliders and I went wheeling in Osceola and the sand blasted a bunch of it off so I stripped them and primed and painted them.

 

It was brutal. Used a razor knife to cut it into sections then peeled it off with my hands and a small putty knife. I did one slider per day, destroyed my hands, and inhaled about a gallon of bedliner

 

Nice ride Devil! I seen the pics in the garage, new gear/ parts everywhere....somebody just got back from deployment I could be wrong, but Im doing the exact same thing right now. Stow and Blow.

 

Thanks man, I've actually been out since 2010 though. Wish I had some deployment money to burn though...

 

Finally installed my CB today. Ran to coax through the groomer under the front passenger seat.





Used a door jam mount on my toolbox and painted it black. I know there's only 3 bolts, it was so close to the edge I could fit the fourth one in there. Thats why the top two are smaller.





I can still fully open the toolbox
