    Aftermarket Wheels

    The only 33s you will install without rubbing are the 255 skinny tires. you are going to rub with 285s more than likely regardless of the rim.Your rub points are the tire well liner and or the outside of the front bumper due to pushing the tire out with offset aftermarkets or spacers on your...

    Complete loss of power when wheeling in 4H

    best thing to do is to keep your foot where it is on the throttle. the ATRAC will begin applying power to wheels and assist you. Give it a shot or google videos on 4runner atrac to see it in action.

    New owner, noob questions inside (pics)

    1 Bulbs are easy on the controls. 10-15 min job. there are good write ups on how to do it here 2 back window may be a switch? 3 so you have some options on the bumper. most credible shops will not re-spray plastic and will say "if you want it done right , buy a new bumper and then paint...

    Suspension thoughts: Monroe VS KYB VS Bilstein

    No worries with the 5100s. I put them on front and back of my 06. no issues with anything fit wise. Remember shocks dampen, they do not lift. They are an extended shock so they have more travel for offroad but that will not affect your ride or height. I also put FJ springs on mine. If you go...

    How to I keep my scratchless paint scratchless while trail riding

    If you are worried about it, just get some transportwrap like they put on new cars for transport to dealers. 200 ft for 70 bucks or so. I would expect to get some odd looks and chuckles but if you don't care it would do great. A friend of mine did it to his new Wrangler latitude once and did...

    Pump me up. Do's and don'ts with the BL steering extention

    I guess my biggest concern is with not damaging the clock spring in the wheel. I cannot imagine how the wheel would spin while putting in this spacer so I would have no ideal on how to prevent it. Any feedback on how to stop the steering wheel from spinning and damaging the spring?

    Pump me up. Do's and don'ts with the BL steering extention

    have not bought it yet but it will either be the Toytec 1" or I believe someone told me RB has or can do a 1". I have not 100% completely decided on a size but 1' seemed to fit my needs better and I did not want to deal with the gaps some experience with the 1.5 lifts

    Pump me up. Do's and don'ts with the BL steering extention

    On to my next mod. a 1" body lift. Not worried about the spacers for the body but gun shy of the steering spacer. What are some do's and don'ts with this step. I have heard issues with clock spring, not getting it lined up, binding after install. SO what do I need to look for, do and...
