    Thanks

    Thanks, start with the diffs it is still one of the best mods I have done. As far as I know there is no way to regear the stock or FJ case due to it being chain driven.

    I think it will all work out and I'll be there.

    Thanks

    I did, cut it off last spring I got sick of it getting hung up in the wheel of my creeper.

    Thanks, the 36's are working real well I get a little rubbing but have full range of motion and no binding. I picked up a set of Icon extended travel C/O's to try out. I look forward to having the adjustability they should provide but know that it may add some new bugs to work out so I plan on hanging onto my 886's.

    :D I wish I was geared that low.

    Thanks Wyatt, it would not have happened without your help. This is one the coolest things I have done to the truck can't wait until spring and the trails here open up again.

    I had watched quite a few of Marlins videos where he walks it up as well when I found that one going down I thought it was cool because it shows how well the crawlbox does holding the truck back on steep descents.

    I have had several folks PM me about fender flares over the last year and promised I would update when I knew something, at this point it does not look like they will be happening any time soon. I had picked up 2 sets of OEM flares (longbed and shortbed) for one of my best friends to build into molds. I recieved a phone call from another friend today that our buddy who has the flares seems to have gotten himself in a situation that he will be unavailable for an unknown period of time. I'm not sure if this project will ever get going again so I wanted to apologize to anybody that had been waiting or hoping for these.

    The guy who did mine would be willing to do more I'm sure but for quite a cost.

    They also didn't turn out quite perfect with the mounting clips (I had a slight gap that I had to fix in the rear flares), also one flare is a little fat in the very front which slightly bothers me but it's hardly noticeable. But worth talking to him if you're bent on having these flares done.

    I know that the guy who did flares for a couple of the other guys with modified flares no longer has interest in doing any, so that's out too.

    Thanks for the offer Max, our plan was to build a complete set for all the 2005-2011 only the rears are different and make molds out of those to use for plastic injection to cut down the hours and cost to make them. At this point I don't know where the flares are at and if I can get them back and I don't feel like tracking another 6 flares down to start this process over.
