extra $3-3500 unexpected shopping spree...?

Since you are going to be getting an ARB I would go with the 99's. Your going to have to take apart your struts anyways so you might as well put the taller ones on, so when it sags it will still be higher. You are definitely going to have some rake, but shouldn't be horrible.

Your ARB is filling up my garage :moping:

Lol! My dad rented a storage unit to store and work on his 67 vette. Never told my mom.

I was about 2 and she asked where dad and I had been. "working on daddys car!"

"Oh really, daddys car?"

I caused my parents divorce!! Haha

i got a set of 99 tall coils and struts for the front, that im gonna use(cause of the added weight) till i can get either a set of tundra struts or some toytecs, i also got some 9wraps (all for $40). i passed on getting the MTRs cause my bighorns are doing just fine and still have a lot of life left in them and i couldnt justify spending $1200 on that right now. as far as wheels im sticking with the 17 tundra wheels i have now.

Nice, coming along great. Should be getting my lift ordered today and hopefully in and done this up coming weekend. Was able to get my locker in and dialed now to finish that up when the lift arrives

 

[Kotrin]

Any new pic updates?

 

[the great him]

ill be posting some pics just as soon as i can resize them, in the proses right now...

 

[the great him]

here are some pics from the instal

l








so you think my old boots where melted enough... i think it was about time for new calipers anyways...


sorry for the bad pic, but this is one of my new LBJs the onld ones were still good and had no play so i will keep them as spares for wheeling trips...

...continued

 

[the great him]

...still continuing











if you look at the way i ran my air line(the blue hose) it clears the exhaust at this point but all the extra slack pushed up on to the the left pipe just after the muffler and melted it... i have sense rerouted it and fixed the issue. and on a side note, for those of you wanting to run an ARB in the rear, when wiring in the switch for the locker if you are only using one ARB you have to wire it into "switch 1", if you try and use "switch 2" with just one locker it wont work, i spent like a hour today chasing down why everything but the solenoid wouldnt work, it was cause i was using it on the wrong switch...

Congrats! Have you had a chance to test the locker out on the trails yet?

no not yet, i just got it working today after work... i bench tested it yesterday before putting it in to make sure the locker worked(as i got it used -i have less than $600 into everything for the locker, compressor, fittings, bearings, seal, and locker!) so it was just a matter of tapping a power source(already had a spot for it), and pluging in the switch. as soon as i got it working and tested it out on the lawn lol -my wife didnt "lol", and the street, i wanted to go run some trails so bad, but if it rains tomorrow i wont be working and will got find a trail to test it out on!

Our rigs are very similar in color and everything, lol. Don't mistake mine when you go out to the parking lot ;p (of course mine is still torn apart atm...)

 

[Kotrin]

[99runnerwa]
