I installed 1A LCAs about 3 years ago... no complaints.

Is it common to have the speedo and transmission recalibrated after installing larger tires? From my understanding, not doing so will result in an inaccurate odometer along with the normal misreading from the speedo (not a huge deal but kind of annoying). Anyone who has done it was is the...

Dang wish you were on the east coast :pout:

Thanks! But I'm really hoping to see how the 265/65 size fits on a 8" or 8.5" width wheel.

Any fellow members rocking some Method, KMC, Black Rhino etc wheels but with the stock 265/65/17 tires and either a stock suspension or maybe a small leveling kit? I've been thinking about getting some wheels but not sure how they will look with the smaller tires. Anyone with a setup similar...

Can anyone recommend a good independent (Toyota 4x4 knowledgeable) mechanic in the Anne Arundel, PG or Montgomery county area? I'm trying to avoid the dealer tax. Thanks.

Quick question I’m hoping someone can answer for me. Right now I have FJ springs on the stock setting on 5100s. Does anyone, with a V6, have FJ springs on the second (.85”) setting? I’d really like to know 2 things. 1) what is the hub to fender measurement and 2) did you need new UCAs installed...

I'm looking to swap out the rear/tail pipe section of my 4th gen with an OEM 5th gen exhaust piece. PN 17430-31870. Located in the DMV.

Woolwax'd the frame over the weekend. Along with installing new 2 new axles, 2 new front calipers and 2 new endlinks. Still more to do.... ugh.

I was about to pull the trigger on some SPC UCA. These are about $70 cheaper... hmm

Quick question for all the suspension gurus. After installing some 5100s w/ FJ springs on the 'stock/bottom' setting, I got the truck aligned and the caster is already maxed out (roughly 1" of lift). I was hoping to to go up a setting to the .85" to level the stance out a bit more, but will I...

Scheduled the 90k service for later this month and made an appointment to have the frame coated with Woolwax in September

If you want a level ride, I'd recommend avoiding spacers in the rear. If you're doing OEM FJ springs, front and rear, I would mount the front springs with the 5100s at the second setting (.85"). FJ rear springs will only give you about .5" or so of lift. FJ front springs with 5100 on the 2nd...

If anyone is unhappy with their rear Eibach springs and swapping them out for something else, shoot me a PM if you're selling.

I order my parts from McGeorge Toyota, mainly because their local to me. I've also had good experiences with TRDshop.com
