For TRADE: Stock wheels - NC

[bootsmcrivers]

Would like to trade these wheels for some FJ springs. Or, I'll give them to anyone interested in helping me do a Bilstein swap on my 04. (includes beer/food) Don't really want to pay an arm or leg to get these bad boys installed.

If you're local and just want to buy the wheels, make me an offer.

Wheels are in decent shape, set of 4, 17's, couple scuffs from normal use, nothing crazy. Would look nice with plasti-dip.

Thanks.

I'd be glad to help you with the suspension work, but where in NC are you?

 

[bootsmcrivers]

That would be awesome! I'm in Linden (Spring Lake basically), right outside Fayettenam. I'm trying to get ahold of some FJ springs so I could put those on the same time I'm doing the Bilsteins, but they're tough to come by right now.

Ugh, that's a bit of a haul for me (about 3 hours). I have a buddy in Monroe whose shop we could possibly help you out at, but I'd have to see if it's cool with him. It'd still be like a 2 1/2 to 2 hr 45 min drive for you though.

Yeah, if you're patient, the FJ coils can be had for a song. They're not really that expensive brand new, but if you're gonna drop coin on new parts, you might as well get some real lift coils. Even if you wanted to do everything else first and the coils later, they're really easy to do. Would only take a few minutes. Rear suspension is cake.

I'll call a couple shops around here, see what they quote me. If it's something crazy, I really don't mind driving to Monroe. What coils do you recommend, besides the FJ's? Nice rig by the way man! I'm pushing 160k+ on mine, still purrs.

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah, I'm over 173K. Still drives as good as ever.

You can expect something like $400. That seems to be the going rate for suspension installs.

I'll talk to my buddy and see what he says about helping you out. Shouldn't be a problem for him. Just lining up everyone's schedule to make it happen will probably be the issue.

Check out Toytec or Metaltech 4x4. Toytec Superflex are popular for $180. Old Man Emu $170, Icons and Metaltechs & Radflos for ~ $220. Interesting enough, Metaltech also sells some 2" lift coils from Ironman 4x4 and they super cheap @ $108. Two specs, one for added weight. They would look pretty sweet with those TJM front struts they sell for $123/piece with the yellow coils. Add some rear Billstiens and you'd be getting away with a legit lift (no spacers) for pretty cheap. Although, you might want some more lift in the front, which a small spacer could give you.

Just kidding, I'm the buddy with a shop in Monroe. Definitely available if you need it just let me know a day an time we can all get together. I've got some plans this weekend but If saturday is the only good day for everyone else I can probably work around them to get the shop opened.

You guys are awesome! I'll keep you posted, still waiting on the bilsteins to get in. Appreciate it!

 

[bootsmcrivers]

Turns out my shop said they'd do it for $200. Not a bad deal. Thanks for all the help fellas!

 

[superman3043]

Yeah, I saw where you'd posted over in the 4th gen section. That's cool man, not too bad of deal at all.

I'd help you put a lift on in exchange for the rims... I live near Raleigh, and have been hunting a set of those rims for a decent price, so if I can buy the rims off of you, to help you purchase the lift, let me know... Name your bottom dollar, and I'll see what I can come up with...
