[LINY4Runner]

hahah you're nuts dude...hey where'd you get that inclinometer? Thats one of the only ones I've seen that I like

 

[Pikeman]

You know you look at that and say "It's not that bad, I can do it." then realize halfway down think "cr*p my bumper is going to dig in isnt it?" usually just before it gouges into the dirt. Looks great though and a fun trip

 

[proudrunner]

Wow that is some serious flex! Looks like you had a good time.

 

[FoneRunner]

How did you get out of that ditch? Other than that and the broken cv, looks like good times! Thanks for the pics...

nice! how'd you get it to read accurately? our dash is kinda angled down towards the pass side...

It's all good. I didn't pay a dime for that bumper and winch. A 16 year old's insurance did. I want an Armorology anyway.
The bad part is I did that with a busted CV. I ended up standing on the rear bumper and rocking to get us free

The famous rear bumper dance. I will have to go back to this place. I broke my truck too early. Found tons of good mudding and rock climbing while I was limping out of there. I drove it home 112 miles this morning, so I wouldn't miss my flight.

The base pivots. That was the only good place I could find to mount it. It is back lit for night time wheelin'imp:

I love it! That's some great flex ya got there and 851s for $50 now that's a good deal!

When you flexed out did you happen to notice if your stuffed side let the rear axle compress all the way to the bump stop? I'm running OME 851s and Bilstein 5100s but I can't flex the axle all the way because the shock reaches full compression first.

I got them for $40. I am running the extended length LC shocks. To my knowledge, they never fully bottom out. I am gonna have to get some limiting straps. My driver's side spring has fallen out twice. How are you getting your front to level out? It doesn't seem like you have as much rake as me. I may have to run the 1 inch spacer up front like Drew is doing. I am definetly concerned with running taller tires. My rear diff pivots pretty far forward and will likely tear something up.

Probably not the same but I get my 1.2 to bottom out at full stuff on the bump stops then again those are the LC coils and not the 851's. Going to try running without my rear swaybar next time out and hopefully doesnt let it droop enough to loose a coil like you mention Shawn

Whooops sorry about that. Well $50 was great $40 is even better. Either way you got a smokin' deal. I think the last time you saw my rig I had the 891s in the rear and there was no rake. I have a massive rake now. It's ridiculous lol. I think I'd like to go back down an inch for the rear but I'm going to run with it a while to see how it works. Moab will be a good test if we make it out there this weekend.
