    Wow pretty much exactly what I'm hoping mine turns out like. I have the FJ's sitting in my garage but they need some Powdercoating.

    Curious about the lift. How do you like the ride on the 885's I know its suggested to go 884's but I am kinda torn.

    Thanks and sweet truck man...

    This might be my favorite truck on this site. Love red, I like the ex cab bc I'll never be able to afford a DC cab, and your mods are spot on IMO. Saweet ride bro!

    Thanks! I am really happy how it turned out. A few things left but for the most part, its done.

    The 885 were a compromise between the two springs and I am pretty happy with them. If I go for a aftermarket bumper, I might go to a different spring.

    Thanks Zombi.........

    Very nice indeed. Any rubbing issues with that setup? And how would you compare the 885's to stock? I was keen on the 884's but now you've got me thinking about going the other way just to get a tiny bit more lift out of it....

    No rubbing at all..but I have not been off-road yet to really put it to the test.

    I am happy with 885's....stock was pretty harsh in my opinion. The thing just rides better.
