More maintenance stuff. My coils and wires are original, so I am sure these will make a difference.

For me, it's tolerable because of the off road capability. You have to coast or use light gas when turning. No more speeding out into traffic to get in front of traffic. It makes a huge difference off road. It clicks, and people look at you like your truck is broken, but it is not annoying to me. This is my DD and I off road once or twice a month usually.

I caught a glimpse of your runner from the ARB post you did and I really like the stance, it is still 265/75/16. Correct? I'm currently trying to figure out which way to go on my lift, I have the tundra bilsteins but no front springs and some 891 I got from a member slightly used so I'm guessing they have already got some sag going on.

Any ways sorry for long post but do you mind some detail on your setup, Toytec coilovers, and SS 1.2 but if I'm correct those are land cruiser springs right? So 7.5 wrap or 8 wraps?

Thanks for any info

Same size/type tires still. Toytec coilover is set to 3" in front. My Sonoran Steel rear is 4" which should be 8 wraps. The rear shocks are the black stock tokico for the landcruiser.

Thank you!

Simple trans drain and fill. Yeah right. Plug bolt and pan threaded hole stripped out. So I removed my pan. Looks like OEM is the only option. Didn't find any aftermarket trans pans. So runner is down until I get a new pan.

What do you guys think about changing filter while it is apart? I have heard before they are lifetime filters. But feel I might as well since I have it apart. Everything looks good and the filter screen, that is visible, is really clean.

You can see where I wiped the filter with a cloth in pics. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

ARB Bumper, Warn Winch, light and air

Installed my ARB bumper and Warn winch last week. I cut off the frame end caps and, after bumper was fully bolted up, I had the brackets welded to the frame. Got an air compressor too. IPF lights(pair) came free with bumper.

Pics from Axle and Jackhandle trails in AZ. New ARB bumper, winch and savage skids / sliders got used and did their job.

Is there a place the group communicates online? Like here, another website or Facebook? Or are you guys just a bunch of friends.
