#elockerproblems

 

stuff ordered...
AEM 30-5132 Boost Gauge
AEM 30-5130 Wideband Gauge Kit
Flexpod
2.85" Stealth Pulley

waiting in garage for warm weekend
Doug Thorley Long-tubes
Doug Thorley Y-Pipe
OEM gaskets for headers, header-to-y pipe, y pipe to cat back

also got some idler pulleys waiting in the garage to throw on the FJC too...plus rewire the radio antennae

new spindles came in last week too...going to drop them off to have some gussets thrown on them then swap those out with some new hub assemblies

TC UCAs also sitting in the garage that i'll be swapping in...as well as new rock lights

next thing will be to get some limiting straps ordered up to have installed in the spring as well...

then i'll take my current DT Shorties and have them rebuilt to be put on the FJC


is it spring yet?

 

Nice list! I need to get a wideband and 2.85" pulley.

 

Waiting for spring as well, about to melt the tax refund. Why the TC UCA Change?

 

with the new headers, i figure it's a prime time to get my gauges in order...then once i get the wideband in, i'll be able to see if i can swing the smaller pulley...threw it on the order now before the EPA cracks down on performance upgrades

 

i've swapped out the camburg uniballs twice now, so i want to try TC out to see how they last...stainless uniballs...plus i can get a couple spares which will then work on either my UCA or LCA since they'll be the same...

tempting to try the new Rokmen UCAs tho, http://www.rokmen.com/toyota-adjustable-upper-control-arms.html#

he doesn't have them listed for Tacomas, but i think they work for both FJ and Tacoma if you compare model numbers from TC and Camburg...

 

Ahhh yeah now making sense, like the idea of having to only buy one set of parts. I'm planning to swap out my Camburg Uniballs once spring hits. Two winters and 45k miles on them and I think they are due.

 

yea it'll be about that time

 

May I ask, what Backspacing are you running with those Cooper st pros in 315s?

 

3.5" FN Wheels 5-Star

Thanks, I def want to run this tire next in 315s, just want to go w a 17inch rim, struggling to find something > then 4.5bs. May have to get 16s after all, more options out there..

 

4.1"

in black

 

good thing about the 17" is there are " 34" " tire options out there to choose from

STT Pro 295
MTR 305
KM2 305
Nitto 295
Toyo 295

 

Exactly, even with 37in sizes. Seems like there will be more options in the future too especially with all the jeeps rolling on 17s these days.

 

so far best purchase of the winter...



woke up this morning to a frozen drum brake...

finally got to use the torch for a good cause this morning to get my wheel spinning again

 

Its a blistering 65 degrees this morning on the west coast. I had to take an extra min picking which short sleeve shirt to wear.

 

Siberian problems!

 

Well you must park were you have to use that be mine does not get used in the winter much. At least you know what to do. Think of all the people that don't do anything about it and are stuck or just push it.
It's 20 degrees out now but I was wearing shorts yesterday. Going to have a campfire in the desert Wednesday.

 

manual problems...i'd rather use the e-brake versus leaving it in gear in the driveway...there's a slight slope to it

but i washed the truck off saturday when it got into the 40s...but then i didn't use it since then...and it dropped below freezing saturday night and yesterday...then woke up to 15*

 

Damn.. it's 38 in Alaska. The ski resort got 32" of snow in one night but the wind shut it down
