Hello. Can you share the source of the longer brake lines & how much longer they are compared to stock?
Thanks!

How’s the ride? I have Radflo’s all around with OME springs in the rear. Ride is very nice, although, it is just a little bit rough in the rear over bumps unloaded. I think it was a 260 lb coil. 2895? Don’t remember now. Was wondering if you have the same in the rear. Now for some 285’s.
These are the brake lines: 4Runner & FJ Cruiser Extended Stainless-Steel Brake Lines
They're about 6 inches longer than stock. This is the difference with the axle at full droop.

switch pros and relocated my arb compressor to passenger side with the lfd mount
there arent many good passenger side arb compressor brackets but lfd makes a pretty good one
it's a stainless steel mount which is great, unlike the crappy non stainless steel base the arb compressor comes with (cmon arb do better) - mine is already chipping after a year

I went with the medium coils in the back. I think OME has 3 levels. Medium load, constant 200KG and constant 400KG. I don't have a rear bumper yet, and may not for a while, so the medium springs were the best choice for me. In the front, I have a SSO slimline, with a 13000lb winch, so I went for the stiffer coils on the front struts. Overall the ride is stiffer, but I prefer that. I hit the Ozarks and the Ouachita national forest occasionally, but not as often as I would like. So the street handling on winding roads is nice.

Thanks for the URL as well as the very nice photo illustrating the difference in length!!

It sounds like you may have the same spring as I do. ARB OME 2895 260 lb spring. I run 600 lb Radflo coilovers with resi’s and I have a Warn Lo Pro up front. Ride is great. I have never been to Arkansas. I listened to Black Oak Arkansas growing up in the 70’s. I’d like to get out there sometime. The Ozarks look like a beautiful place.
Front right x-reas shock on my '15 Limited with 69k was leaking so I swapped in some Bilstein 5100's. Set the front to the 2.5" lift setting and added a 1" Cornfed spacer to the rear springs, left me with a little less than an inch of rake from back to front.

Yup, the 2895. The front I am running Part# 47-311039 "Front Heavy Load"
The Ozarks are fantastic. So much to do there. We also have the Ouachita National Forrest. Not quite as technical as some of the Ozarks, but still some good trails.
More or less. Reuse the factory springs. The new Bilsteins mount up exactly the same as the old shocks, you just need to remove the hydraulic lines that run along the frame that connected the corners.
Brakes, plugs and oil
Going through a new-to-me 2010 SR5 4WD. Spent most of its life down south, now it's in NE.
Oil and plugs - is it really supposed to be this easy?
Replaced pads, rotors (Toyota), front calipers (NAPA reman), flushed the fluid. But I suspect the master or booster because the pedal is a little soft still.

Washed all of the bug guts off of our 2021 ORP. Used some chemical guys bug/tar remover and it worked great. Also use a ceramic detail spray after every wash and it definitely helps get stuff in general off the car.

Got tie rod sleeves in the mail from warfab. Been waiting for them to restock and they put a few up on the site. Not sure that they plan on making more so I scooped a set up.

curious...what bends/fails now that the tie rod ends are reinforced? rack? inner tie rods? outers are pretty easy to swap on a trail.
Inner tie rod is still the weak point. These don’t cover the full length of the tie rod, so the tie rod can still bend /deflect. Just make it less likely to happen. I’m on 33s and easy on the throttle so I’m not overly concerned.
