Well done!
Yep, I'll either go that size next or 285/75...still haven't decided if I want to be practical or not.
I've run spacers in the past to get factory rims + 255/85's flush with tacoma flares. No issues running them, but did notice a diminished turning radius.
I did consider doing this as well with the...
Nay to both. Both rims have a 5.25" BS, meaning they will be sucked in on your limited flares. I've had the taco TRD rims on my 4runner before and eventually swapped them out for LC rims.
Don't...
Nice work! I started my bruce-styled bumper the other day. Worth the effort, your take on it turned out well :).
One question..I know you can use the tow hitch to mark the holes on the brackets,...
2 of my LC rims are the acorn style and 2 are the shank style, they both fit. '96 should be the shank style just for reference, earlier years were the acorn. I sold a set of LC rims earlier and the...
I hear ya on that point. From what i've read they are slow but reliable. One website was selling the xrc8 with synthetic line for $399; that's just nuts! I'll probably still pick up the summit 9k...
Demello sliders and limited flares don't mix, fyi. A good amount of the inner plastic molding had to be shaved down, leaving a cavity which would fill with water/dirt. I filled these guys with...
Demello Sliders, ARB Tire Repair kit, and metric ratcheting wrenches. And $$ :).
The ARB Tire repair kit is really great quality, I was impressed. I'd recommend it for the $38 it costs.
I looked into those and thought about making my own. There isn't a great upper mounting point inline with the seats is the problem. Sooo that would require drilling and I lost interest at that point....
Added bump stops to aid in the harsh bottoming out in the rear.:safari-rig:
Parts list:
Daystar KU09014BK ~$35
2"x5"x3/16" Box ~Free (thanks to left over scrap from red87's bumper)
Misc....
Spent my day off making a little addition to the ARB. Since removing the limited bumper and associated fog lights I've missed that close up light on the road. I also don't like having a useless...
Thanks for the comments RMP&O. Here are the final shots of the wheel project and pictures of the 235/85's on 16x8's for those that are interested. It does look a little 'froggy style' or 'hawaiian...
Got around to making drawers for my rear cargo storage. Turned out pretty precisely with the help of a table saw. I had to special order some extra long slides but at least they're rated for 100 lbs....
These guys have some sweet metal racks. Certainly not cheap, makes me wish my door swung horizontally though. Where are you planning on installing the panel?
...
If you want your lenses to auto focus on the D40, they must be AF-S (motor is inside the lens.) To keep the cost of the D40 down there is no motor inside the camera. This isn't a huge problem,...
Google shows lots of rocks, I'd be interested in attempting it if I had sliders. From what I can tell "it's a jeep thing." I can't find many IFS pics.
White walls are out man, +$200 right there ;).
Just put in a 24" magnaflow muffler p/n 12286. There's another guy who put a walker muffler on to replace stock here on ultimateyota.

The plastic mounts for the spoiler may actually be hollow. Perhaps you could drill a hole into that and maybe into the door behind the spoiler mount and go in through there.
I'd say google is your best resource, and I 2nd the walcott suggestion, they are the company I always order from for radio stuff.
I'd get it as flat as possible and then weld angle on the back as you suggested. I've seen a few DIYers do this.
Yep, I always say they make the stock headlights seem unsafe...
I read that the test for the lower ball joint was as follows:
Jack the truck up by the lower UCA so that the tire is off the ground. Then put a crowbar between the tire and the ground. Lift the...
Having them linked to your hi beams is the only way to actually use them on the road LEGALLY. It's also waaay more convenient than having to reach on your dash in the dark and flick a switch off;...
