I am currently running on stock 17x7.5 30 offset wheels and have about 1/2” clearance from the upper control arms. I am looking at some 17x8.5 0 offset and 4.75 BS wheels. Would these wheels put me closer or further from the upper control arms? I don’t want to run spacers. I appreciate the help.

I finally got around to replacing my passenger cv axel but now I’ve developed a tiny diff leak on that side. I’ve driven a couple hundred miles and there’s barely any oil on the diff cover so I’m thinking I’ll wait a little longer to replace the seal. I’m on the hunt fro some cheap stock rims...

For my ‘03 sport I’m using coated centric rear rotors and regular akebono pads. For the front I did Raybestos 980160Per and Akebono ASP976. The front rotors might be a little too much and I could have gotten them without the slots but I just wanted to try them out. The whole setup stops really...

Found some low mileage 2021 TRD 4R springs, shocks and upper control arms. Bought them Saturday and Sunday I installed them on the wife’s car. I didn’t use the shocks since we had some low bilsteins in the car already. The springs were stiffer compared to the SR5 ones so it got raised up and...

Main reason I said I can wait to see what else you come up with since you’re always changing it up lol. Keep it up

SoCal here too, just a few miles north of Los Angeles.

Your build and skills are top notch. Can’t wait to see what else you come up with.

Replaced interior lights with LED’s on wife’s 4R.

I have been keeping track of my mpg and the highest I’ve gotten is 19.66/gallon on a V8. I use the trip odometer and divide that by the gallons I put. I always fill my tank all the way every time I get gas. Once I get bigger tires I just might stop keeping track of the mpg.

I installed my JBA UCA today after work. I thought it was going to take me a long time but I lucked out. I didn’t have any helpers and still managed to get it done in 2.5 hrs with just some hand tools. A nice hammer loosened the ball joints with 3 nice hits after putting some pb blaster on...

The only way to see if they truly are different is to cut the supposed fake and the one from the dealer. Glad the noise went away on your runner.

I drive a 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser triple locked, electronic lockers.

Changed the transmission filter and replaced the rear differential fluid. I have been draining and refilling the transmission fluid for the last two weeks so it’s pretty clean now. Only maintenance I have left to do now is the power steering fluid, coolant flush and the bypass pipe “O” ring. I...

I’m running the 650lb on the front and 2” superflex coils on the back. When I first installed the fronts I was running the driver at 5 and passenger 3. I didn’t like the feel or how it was so I got a 1/4” spacer and put both at setting 3. I haven’t done an alignment since I’m waiting for my...

Those tires look quite big in the picture but looks good. Are you getting any rubbing? At what height/settings are you running the front shocks? What rear springs?
