Hmm... handle ok on the street? Do you happen to know the spring rate of your OME 885's?

My Toytec front coils are 600 lbs/in

Theres definitely more body roll but i got used to it after a week or so. It has about 4.25"/3.25" of lift so it leans pretty well but it keeps me going the speed limit.

According to this, Old Man Emu Coil Spring Information Tables, 885's have a coil rate of about 588lbs/in. So your springs are a little stiffer so there should be less body roll, not much but some.
 
So I think I have my next mod figured out:

79-85 yota pickup!
 
It belonges to the older gentleman walking towards the rig in the picture. I offered him $5k cash on the spot and all he said was, "Im keeping it till I stop kicking!"
 
I'm trying to decide whether or not I need the tpms working all the time seeig how I cracked a sensor on my last trail ride,

I might replace the tpms with regular rubber stems so i can't bust an $85 part each time I wheel. Steel wheels would fix my problem but not sure what my final goal is with this rig anymore.
 
they make aftermarket tpms sensors that mount to the inside of the rim and don't attach to the valve stem.. My 03 doesn't have a TPMS sensor i just check my tire pressure once a month like everyone's supposed to lol

I've seen them but I'm not sure yet if I want to invest the money.
 
its not really a necessity to have the sensors it would just be a matter of addressing the CEL code that will be thrown when the sensors are removed
 
Went down to Kirkwood to train the pass office and to get some laps in! A few pics from the drive in:

Well, I finally joined the led bandwagon and bought some bars in Matt's group buy. Can't wait for them to come. Now for some switches!
 
Im considering the firestone destination a/t's for my 4runner, curious of how well they do offroad? i have them on my truck and im happy with their road/hwy performance.

Better than I thought. I got the firestones before I really got into wheeling for better mpg's and lighter weight. They have held their own and I haven't ripped one yet on the rocks, even at 15 psi in a P rated tire! Only flats I've gotten we're busting the TPMS valve off on rocks. Only happened twice, so far. They suck in mud but do well in dirt, snow and rocks. They are a great all around at tire.

I'm excited too but I have to wait till I get some switches. Plus I'm heading out tomorrow for a roadtrip down south then up to ft. Bragg for some abalone diving. It'll be a few weeks before they're on. But I'm very happy they arrived before I left.
