What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

You want to make sure the fuse protects everything else so it should be rated for less than anything else in the circuit. In my case, the fuse block is only rated for 100amps so a 100amp fuse would be max otherwise the fuse block could fail before the fuse. Also the wire gauge will determine fuse size. I think 8 gauge wire is only rated for 50 amps. For 100amps 6 or 4 gauge wire would be needed.

If you look for a kit that has 6 gauge wire, it would probably come with a higher rated fuse.

Oh ok I plan on using a 4 gauge kit and I ordered the 12 circuit one on Amazon so I should see it Tuesday just have to figure out the wire kit and how I'm going to install it.

Got caught up working and forgot to get pics along the way. That and we needed 4 hands for a lot of the work. Piece of cake once you figure it out... except for the KDSS, kind of a pain.

I hear ya, Did you do UCAs too? How high did you crank the fronts? Any problems with alignment after? Sorry for all the questions.

got some new stilts!

Old Man Emu 3" lift with some Total Chaos Uppers.

Looks good, needed that last week on a desert road, one side washed out put me off camber. decided it was getting too steep. looked under the 4R and saw very little clearance. Decided to back down. With a lift and tires I could have kept going.

I didn't get UCA's because I'm shooting for about 2 inches, I ended up getting way more than I wanted, these things are apparently not an exact science. I only had 1.5 inches of thread and I'm seeing abut 4 inches of lift. No alignment yet, I need to get the front down a little first, then I'm going it.

drove the family up to the Toyota dealer in the 4Runner and picked up this for the son to replace his dodge avenger. was happy to get him out of that.

Played in the East Louisiana Piney woods with about 150+ Jeeps. We had 2 4Runners and an FJ40 show up. Other than that and an old Blazer it was an all Jeep show. But it scratched my itch for eating some dirt. Lol.

Had these installed today.

Lookin good! I'm pondering a set of the TRD Wheels, too.

Are those KO2 265's (C or E) or 275's?

4RunnerPro · Mar 3, 2015

Had this done today

Took the 4runner in for a little work today. I think it turned out good.
Roof rails blacked out and rear emblem also done.

This picture shows how almost level she is after I had the toytec front spacer plate installed last week. Just a hair high in the rear which is what I was after.

Re-admired my new setup through all the salt here in the great Northeast:

Tried the KDSS calibration trick today in order to level out the rear. Don't think it worked so I ordered 2 10mm spacers. That should do it.

Dialed it down to 1 inch of threads and it seemed to do the trick, looks to be about 2.5 inches of lift in the front.

Went up shooting this weekend. Awesome weather here for this time of year. Great views of Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams in the background.

Went to get the fiancee's winter tires mounted on her rims. Found out they only charge $26 to swap tires that are already mounted on rims. Much better than screwing around with the bottle jack in my garage for an hour or two.

I know where that is JayceeP

Good to hear. That's the great thing about the adjustables.

Went to Lake Crescent (Olympic National Forest) and Cape Flattery yesterday. Lake Crescent is amazingly blue and crystal clear. For about one hour I was the most northwestern human in the contiguous US while at Cape Flattery.

If you haven't been to these areas, I strongly recommend it. Lake Crescent is such an amazing lake, only to be rivaled by Lake Louise and Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks (can't wait to go back this summer).

Few pictures...
