Finally a few pics Hi Guys, Thanks again for all the input. I'm up and on here because I couldn't sleep. So I will keep this one short. But I'm definitely looking into body mount bushings to perhaps calm down some of the noise and roughness in the ride--at the same time I am considering...

Anything else to consider? So, as mentioned above, I am going to grab some bushings from ES next (for the sway bar assemblies). I've seen some other guys say that they found their panhard bar was loose, and that was making noise and banging about. I'm not sure how to check this or even where...

Thank you so much for this list. It's true that I went with the 880/906 combo, so some of it is not entirely relevant. But I'm really spending a lot of time on here and soaking up all I can. Having a straightforward and to-the-point breakdown of what comprises this assembly is SUPER helpful...

Yep. In the end, when I look back at the long, rambling, LONG paragraph I wrote to start this thread, your words above pretty well sum up what I was looking for, ultimately. I haven't had time to take quality pics since installation, but I've got the new springs on. So far I am stoked. I did...

Hood Latch Fix! Thanks a bunch, guys! T4R.ORG strikes again. This has been a recurring yet very infrequent problem on my 2000. A mechanic down in Santa Cruz helped free up the mechanism once, but I didn't see how he did it. It's so simple, thanks to the diagram offered up by Zcruiser...

I'll soon have a Thule Moab basket on top, the bike rack trays either off entirely, or to the side of the basket (depending on if they fit, or don't look too funky like that) and a hitch rack for the bikes. That would mean I'd need a little ladder like yours...That thing is sick!!! It's...

I know it's not as tricked out and modded as some others on here (at least not from the outside as far as I can tell...) but this is seriously one of my favorites!!! I hope I can get mine to look something near this eventually... Sick ride, man!!

WeatherTech Wins Again(?) Thanks a bunch for going the extra mile--not only with the initial review, but with the follow-up as well. I'm the same way as far as things bugging me when they're not right. When they are, I am happy to spend the dough. While it's unfortunate you weren't pleased...

Thanks, CSP! I had actually already stumbled upon that particular thread. Though when I did, I couldn't make any sense of it! Haha. This guide has been so useful, and helped me to decide on the somewhat simple/basic 880/906 combo. I'm now super tempted to do a small body lift at the same...

Dream ride! Hey Trailmix: Your ride was SO clean!!! That's my dream setup, color and all. I know this is an older post, but I was curious as to the amount of lift you had. The forest green with grey wheels, hood scoop, manual transmission...I wish I had that setup. Looks sweet. Thanks!

Hey SuboptimusPrime: Sorry for the delay. I got pretty sick for a couple weeks there! To be honest, it felt a little wrong to start throwing out mtb analogies, as I know most of the guys on here are gearheads on the vehicular side of things, and it's sort of apples and oranges. At that time...

BIG Thanks X2...Also a huge shout-out to Ripcord (and any others contributing or to whom we are linked via this thread)! I must admit that I stumbled upon this one pretty early on, but without a background in vehicle mechanics, I couldn't make sense of a lot of the info on here. Now, since...

SO CLEAN! I love those wheels and their color along with the rest of the truck. Unique, too.

Man...Those wheels look SIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!!

I think if I were to do it from scratch, it'd be: -Tundra TRD coils w/ adjustable 5100 billies up front -Land Cruiser or comparable OME coils w/ 5100 billes in the back I'd be going for a rake of 0.5-1", and the ability to load things up a bit for adventures. Also not interested in airbags or...
