Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a troll- I'm just repeating the age old adage: You get what you pay for.

Remember back at the start of this thread when a few of us called BS on a PRO paint job for $1500? Now you know why. You got a $1500 headache because you got what you paid for.

Sounds to me like you got the tires cheap or free and are trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole. Also, the amount you'll rub will greatly depend on how you use the truck. If you're mall crawling, you'll mostly be okay. But I wouldn't try to flex the suspension and then complain...

That looks great man! I love a good project truck. Even if you have to do a full engine swap, I'm sure it'll be worth your time. Nice truck.

Yeah actually Lancruiser front shocks work really well- On Landcruisers. :D

If you do in fact go ahead and install new headers and exhaust, please update this thread so we can keep some info going in one place. There's so much crap on this forum scattered around... I swear it's the worst board I'm on in that regard. I like the people, but the info is all over the...

X2- That 4.0 inline 6 is a time tested motor, though now it's a bit antiquated and underpowered. Good torque though. The V8 and full coil suspension was always intriguing, but when I finally got rid of my 98 Cherokee, I bought a Tacoma. I got $3k for a rig with 180k and thousands poured into...

There. I fixed it for ya :D

There's no way I'd pay that. Find out if the timing belt has been done, or other service records, where work was done, etc. Who has owned it- age, etc? Is there a supercharger hiding under the hood? Oh, and patience is a virture. We get used to having everything we want, whenever we want it...

Yeah, um, no. All these stupid gold/silver/precious metal dealers that tell you that you need to have gold in case society collapses- it's all b.s. Think about it- even big natural disasters, like Katrina, society goes back to a barter system. If you need food, you don't want gold.

Sweet! Nice bird. I'm looking forward to my first spring turkey season this year, but ours doesn't open here in Montana until April 15. Which is good for me- I need a bit more time to prep.

Don't think it's a vacuum leak, it was running fine before I removed the TB. Already cleaned the IAC. Twice. Used almost an entire can of cleaner. Idle is around 1700.

This is the best explanation of this that I've read. Personally, I think photos would be super helpful. If not now, they will be for the future readers of this thread.

Bringing this one back up, trying to sort out the same exact issue in my truck after a thorough cleaning. Did you solve this? How'd you fix it?

Looks great- I've always liked the look of those tires.
