Thanks guys for all the suggestions on the paint vs rust issue. And toyhatsu, lets get these 3RZ's out on the trail and kick some ass!!
I think my truck already has some sort of lift kit installed under it. It doesnt matter to me since its all getting replaced, but Tim here pointed out that it just seems higher than normal.
Tim, btw, conquerored the entire Dusy/Erishm trail with STOCK springs and 32" tires without any body armor at all. He has a welded rear and a trutrack front. Here's a pic of his stock system flexing it out.
Ive decided to just run some 35s and keep it simple for now. So Im thinking 3-4" springs, keep the stock front hanger as I want to keep this truck low, french the rear spring pirches, and run some custom shackles in the rear. I always see guys flexing out, but with very little up travel. So I want to arrange the fenders/body/whatever to maximize the amount of up travel possible. I want to see my tires getting sucked way up into the fenders when Im done.
So anyways, It would be great if I could get the 3RZ test fitted and mounted by the end of this weekend. Then just play around with the wiring, which the MR2 has given me alot of experience with, and get it running ASAP. Then I can start on the axles!
I'll just have to see how much I really get done before I open my month to much more.
See ya!
