Lookin rowdy

 

Yep, but Low Range charges wayyyy too much for it. Buying from the company directly saves a ton.

 

I'll try and grab some measurements later, frame height should be 24ish, fenders are now cut 2" higher to compensate for the new fender flares.

 

I'm also curious.

 

What width did you end up going with on the flares, Greg?

 

Went with the 4 1/4" Jason, and to make them mount easily, used the factory platic flare clip holes to bolt them on. One nice thing about these flares is the outer part can fit a small steel rod through and you can "form" these into a flare so it looks more facotry than the garden edging some use that looks awful.

 

So are they the no lip side mount ones? I have been looking for something to hide the damn flair holes recently.

 

Thanks, Greg.

I’ve seen that garden edging on a couple XJs out here. It’s pretty terrible

 

Yep these are the no lip mount ones. Rubber sounds flimsy but damn if these things arnt solid once formed.

This is the exact one I picked up. Price fluctuates, but 25' roll will leave you enough to make 5 flares.
Pic shows that it comes with the wire, mine didnt. Perfect size fit is a spool of drop ceiling support rod slides right in.

 

Awesome, I'll probably get the 2" ones since 4" would look ridic on my rig

 

25 1/4" frame height

14" top of the tire to fender (keep in mind these are mounted higher than factor due to the back length and coverage.)

 

Sweet. As low as a 3 link setup but on leaf. Most spring setup i seen are 27+ w/ 37

 

25” is a nice number for frame height. If you get too much lower with the wheelbase on a Tacoma and it starts to hang up quicker than it should. I’m 24.5” on leafs and 37’s and I think I’ll keep it about the same when I link it too

 

24” on 39s and leafs. Roughly 2.75 up in the front. On 37s. Truck was way to low. 39s have been the magic number and very rarely hit the skid anymore. Pivot on the sliders a lot.

 

I built a low rider and it's annoying.

 

Maybe in 1992!

 

Finally got the brakes working with amazing pressure. Thing flat out stops with Tundras on the front and now vented 4runner discs in the rear.

Ended up ripping out the whole abs module (been disabled for years after ifs swapping to non abs 4wd spindles). Had an air pocket I couldn't bleed, so out it went and same with the factory master cylinder.

In its place a Wilwood 5 port whole system proportioning valve and new master. Decided to rip out all the lines instead of trying to make some work. Actually pretty easy to bend and bought a nice flaring tool by Eastwood, I recommend to anyone as it can make great 3/16" inverted flares both on and off the truck.

 

Now to work on getting the Drotor parking brake (4runner/FJ) cables to mesh up with the factory p.brake setup and then really be doing well

 

Post pics and parts list of that. I need to do that for my 80 axle to get my POS to pass inspection here in NC.

 

I did this. I can provide part numbers with pics in the morning.
