So my trusty 4inch grinder with cutoff wheel and my Big Freaking Hammer went to work. I first removed the coil over so I could cycle the suspension with the 35 on. Gotta say it was exhausting to put a 35inch Mud on and off a bunch of times. But each time i got closer to having no rubbing at full compression. I may have to do a little more in the future but I'm pretty happy with how things ended up. it was raining and so better pics will come soon but here are what I got. Gotta say I am really liking the way this runner is coming out:frog:

. The runner is totally coming together great. I've noticed a couple of things over the last couple of days. I have to get the diff drop in because I'm getting some cv noise during turns. I originally had the drivers side sagging about an inch in the front compared to the passenger side. So Sa****ay I turned the coil compressor 3full turns. Honestly I had no idea how much preload I needed to add. Three turns actual turned out perfect. But now I have some noise but I also have a diff drop on order from steve at Sonoran Steel. So light driving till it gets installed. And I will begin looking for some spares. I am also surprised at how well it drives with stock gears. It pulls strong from the line and around town. I haven't had it out to run hills in 5th yet. I think I will invest in dual t-cases instead of axle gears. I will begin prepping the fj cruiser rear axle soon and will then have the E-Locker and loving it.
