Billynath1988 2005 SE V8 Build

[Billynath1988]

Wondering if you know any good 4x4 shops on Long Island . Looking to upgrade my xreas to an ome set up. I'm in Suffolk. 2008 v8 se. Thanks

Honestly, you should try and do it your self and save the money.. I work at riverhead toyota.. you can probably get it done there too but it will cost you dealer rate.

How do you like the JBA UCA's? You'll have to post up alignment specs when you get one. I'm considering those UCA's myself.

So far they seem great and solid product. Easy install and all the alignment numbers went into spec reasonably. I do not have a print out... but I used a list a numbers I found on toyota120 forum and IMO rides and handles great.

Part 1 of suspension upgrade has arrived.

JBA Balljoint upper control arms. I plan to paint them silver before installing. Looks and feels like a quality part. Also very well packaged.

I have the same JBA UCAs myself and like them a lot. Are you running spacers with your 255/75/17 tires or just the 2013 trail wheels. I was told the 255s would rub at full lock on these UCAs with stock Sport wheels but before I go out and buy news wheels I was wondering what your opinion was. I have a 3" lift but currently still have old 265/70/17.

Link to the new 5th gen brakes / rotors?

Also, I'm hearing an annoying squeaking noise when I'm driving and reversing, think it's in the hubs?

Matter of fact, link me to the hubs and stainless lines as well please

Hey, I am not running wheel spacers.. the Trail wheels have slightly more offset then stock 4runner wheels, however at full lock in reverse I get Slight rubbing on the front which i plan to trim anyway. The front mudflap had to be removed. That said, its close enough that each truck will vary with possibly no rubbing at all with the right alignment.

all the part numbers are in this thread or the 5th gen caliper swap, basically just get centric 2010+ front brakes from anywhere that's good priced at the time ( Amazon or Rockauto). I think the rear you need 5th gen calipers and 4th gen rotors. Be sure to prep and paint the calipers carefully before installing. You will thank me later.

Hubs are from a from a forum member [MENTION=100129]nj636[/MENTION] ... stainless lines are from rockauto.

I am not worried about fender and mudflaps, those can be (re)moved. My main concern is rubbing on the JBA UCAs. From what you say it sounds like I would rub with stock wheels and the 255/75/17 but should be ok with wheels with a 15mm offset. Thanks.

I doubt it.. I have plenty of space with the ucas and trail wheels

Took advantage of the somewhat warmer weather today got a few things done.
- New cabin filter
- Cut and trimmed wheel wells to eliminate and prevent future rubbing
-New turn signal and DRL housings
- Rigid dually fog lights with 3d printed inserts from @TIN - still need to wire them in
-Fixed the only squeak my truck makes going down the road with a zip tie, which in the inner fender well where the fender attaches to the body.

Replaced the Fuel pressure pulse regulator today. Apparently the little diaphragm in these wear out and cause hesitation and an annoying clicking noise mostly when cold.

- Also put on a new diff breather

 

[Billynath1988]

Greased the driveline with Polytron EP-2 Li Complex Grease
