    I was rubbing to shit in the back even with 1 1/4 drop brackets on my bump stops. Is why I went with a 1" BL to give me more clearance to stuff the rear end. I still rub, but not near as bad. going to be ditching the bushwackers soon and have some steel tube fenders fabbed up.

    The main detail he gave me was that they were not manufactured here, that they were imported from india by a company that he knows and resold. he didnt say they were "bad" but, that they weren't the best. I will call him and see if he has more info on them. We have a local FJer that has been through two sets of nitros on her rig within a few months. had the last set cryo treated.

    are you calculating for the ODO being off? w/ those 35s, every 100 miles on a stock ODO is actually netting you about 112 real miles. it'll throw off the MPG numbers.

    Well I got my 4.56 gears installed by Chase at ECGS and I have had zero problems out of them. I would have went with 4.88's but I the front carrier would have to be changed out and that was an additional $400 and I just couldn't see doing that. The 4.56's haul my 35X12.5X18 Trail Grapplers just fine.

    i was getting 18 w/ 35s and armored on stock gears....you need to get your foot off the gas. keep it under 70mph and under 2k rpms. (if auto)

    60 on the speedo should be about 65-66, IIRC.
