Supra Popra ..... :keyboard:

Trucks looking good. Real good! Did you go with the beefy sliders? And why did you decide on the Warn VR8000s? I'm thinking M8000s but am open to suggestions.

I have the ultra gauntlets and the same lift setup. to avoid rubbing at the back of the front wheels I had to set the camber to 4...that should be the max. You are going to like this setup, it looks and rides great.

I think you meant to say you had the CASTER set to 4,not the camber.Camber should be set to 0 or pretty danged close.Some put .3-.5 total difference to compensate for the crown in the road or some BS.

Installed the lift today. Got to say I am happy as a pig in $&!t. I am 6'5" and I have to hop up in. I will take some pics tomorrow was to dark when I finished. Now the wait till Monday for the tires and wheels to come in.
Got a question to those that have the Toytec ultimate lift with the light UCA's. What position did you put your ball joint and where on the slide on top did you set it.

You have the LR UCA's positioned correct(zero,SPC logo out) from the pics you posted . With it set a 0 it still has 2 more degrees built in then stock UCA'S.The top ball joint nut slides in and out and about 1/4"-3/8"s inward gets you in the ball park for camber before the actual alignment form a shop.

I am not sure why I went with the VR8000s compared to the M8000s. I hope I didn't make a mistake. we will see

Looks good man. How was the install? I am planning on doing mine myself once I pull the trigger on the lift.

It was not to bad. I did it myself in about 5 hrs. The front gave me the most trouble when putting the sway bar back on... that damn KDSS... But not to bad.

Thanks man. I should be in the right spot cause it drives down the road pretty good.





Well I got a bunch of stuff in today!!!!!
I got my Budbuilt winch plate... gotta wait for the winch to install it. I will take a bunch of pics when I put it in.

I also got my Ultra Gauntlets and Nitto Trail Grapplers.... BUT..... I can't get them installed till I can find a place that has a touchless wheel machine. The almost F*&^*D them up....:bash: I want them ON!!!! Might have to wait for the weekend. Gotta drive around with them till I can get them put on... No room in the garage...
 
That's gotta be a tease huh? I am planning on going with gauntlets when money allows. I'd like to wrap em in the cooper discovery s/t maxx's but I'll pin that down when the time comes.

How was the rear for the install? I read somewhere (not sure where) that you ratchet the sway bars of the KDSS down so that they dont expand. Is that right?
 
Got the Wheels and tires put on. Here is a teaser pick for now. I freakin love the way it looks.

I just sold my MR2 it was my baby i miss it soooo much!

I drove an MR2 through HS & College, before I bought my 2002 4Runner. I miss that car so much, and seriously considered buying another one, but I just can't justify it anymore. To find one that hasn't been modded to hell and is still in good shape you're looking at WAY too much money for a 20 year old car.

My 2012 TE is on its way here right now, and I can't wait to get in it, but a part of me will always long for a nice condition Turbo MR2 (My old one was a 91NA). Those cars were so much fun to drive. And sadly there isn't really anything on the market nowadays similar to it :(
