I pulled the trigger on some SpiderTrax 1.25" spacers to see how they looked up front before buying the second pair for the rear. Was lucky enough to find a local member that lived a mile down the street with another 1.25" pair for $30 before dropping $115 again. 5 minutes in the sand blaster...

Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace usually have a couple. I got mine for 1k, but usually they are around 1500-2000. Increase was well worth it.

Next set of modifications, some buddies and I tackled, were 232mm brakes, 3in lift using 4Runner Bilstein 5100s paired with OME 881/890s along with some Trail Edition wheels and 285/70/17 Duratracs. So far, I am a fan. The ride could be a little smoother but nothing crazy at all. I will most...

Not a modification, BUT I was able to push the rig in serious snow and ice while it was still in stock(ish) form. Also the supercharger was AWESOME while climbing the mountain. The Wife and I decided to start a new tradition which was going to Asheville, NC for a long weekend and bringing a...

:hello: Updating this thread tonight. I may have added one of those things! Yes from my research they are pretty rare! Mine is about to turn 225K and, like yours, still drives like new. Like I said above, I will be updating this thread tonight after work. I have lifted the rig with OME springs...
