    PFran CV clamps on 3rd gen?

    Does anybody have experience using PFran LED's CV boot clamps on a 3rd gen? I find it strange that they would advertise that they are only for 4th gen if they would work for more, but at the same time, I wouldn't imagine CV boots would change that much. If they won't work, does anybody have a...

    Bilstein 5100 front and rear on 1997 stock Limited 4x4 question.

    Thanks, man! They are 265/70R17 BF Goodrich KO2's on 17" factory FJ Cruiser wheels. I don't do much wheeling apart from driving on the beach for surf fishing, and the occasional forestry/fire service road, so I really just wanted a slightly modified/stock look. I couldn't be happier with how it...

    Bilstein 5100 front and rear on 1997 stock Limited 4x4 question.

    I just put the same shocks/struts on my 1997 a few weeks ago. I put the front struts 2 notches up from stock, and added an 1.5" polyurethane spacer on the rear. My goal was just to clear some larger tires, but I noticed a huge improvement in on road handling, too. I'm really happy with how it...

    Bilstein 5100 setting w/rear spacer

    So I measured the hub to fender distance, and the back was almost 2" higher than the front. So it seems that +2 notches would be perfect, right? Nope! Not sure what happened, but I got it all buttoned up, and the front is sitting about 3/8" higher than the rear. Now I'm trying to decide whether...

    Bilstein 5100 setting w/rear spacer

    Thanks! That 0.83" number is what I was looking for. I think I might actually go up 2 notches from stock. I frequently run a surf fishing rig on the front with 2 Pelican coolers(70qt for beer, and 50qt for bait). It would be nice to sit about level with both coolers fully loaded. Or maybe I'll...

    Back is done and new wheels/tires are on, which makes it kind of hard to judge the rake. Also, don't mind the screws, trash, and spilled cereal all over the driveway. My 3-year-old was "helping" me.

    Bilstein 5100 setting w/rear spacer

    I'm sure this has been done and posted about, but after about a half hour of searching, I can't find advice on my same configuration, so here's my question: I was looking for minimal lift (1.5" tops), so I bought a 1.5" polyurethane coil spacer with 5100's for the rear, and adjustable 5100's...

    Nice... Thanks for the pic. This is definitely on my short list.

    99+ console conversion

    So I would need to replace the dash panel, as well as the center console to really do it correctly?
