Well, I'm just glad they worked out for ya. They look good, but I'm sure it took a lot of work to get 'em looking spiffy!

Finally got it out the shop ! and was able to take it for a test drive. It isn't finished but at least the one more part is done

Wow that thing looks nice! I like the ride height! And those wheels make me want to put mine back on! lol

Looks nice!
With a 3" fender cut you can run 36" IROK's no problem, you're just a little higher than me.

We'll put the 35" on this weekend and see about trimming sheetmetal. With no steering stabilizer for the truck it did good on the road test. Drove about 5 minute came back to the shop rechecked that nothing got lose and then did about 45 minute drive. Compared to the IFS the road manners are great now. I just had a tight grip on the steering wheel in fear of "Death Wobble" showing up to visit me .

It is spongge (sp) nose dive on the front end during hard braking, regular braking / driving the truck does fine.

ive seen a few guys put some air bumps in the front to help with the nose dive when braking. it helps alot apparently.

Doable · « **Reply #38 on:** Jul 24, 2007, 01:09:09 PM »

Thanks for the complements. I'll measure how much distance I have from the bottom of the frame to the top of the axle to see if I can rig something like this up.

Doable · « **Reply #39 on:** Jul 24, 2007, 07:30:12 PM »

Got a chance to try on the 35" . I'll try to get the front a little lower somehow, then build a square driveshaft for the front with my next free time.

My 4Runner does the same thing. Good job. Nice rig

Dude, what rims are those? They're clean!

The rims are some Eagle Alloy's 15x8 SERIES 186 with 35x12.5x15 MTR's

Actually it's very simple the 35" MTR's are useless where I live, they slide to much in the fields , but they work great on trails in Texas and Arkansas.
Your SR5 rims are getting some 34" LBT's in September and will be on the Toyota all the time except trail riding out of state. (The 34" are tall and skinny great for this area, unless I get some Simex Tires, kind of hard to find around here)

That is one nice truck ya got there. Where are you exactly? LA, or TX

Jordan7118 · « **Reply #47 on:** Jul 26, 2007, 09:45:48 AM »

I had some 33x13.50 LTBs, and they rode like hell but HOOOKED up. They were stolen last year, but that's cool... just means I get to go to a bigger tire now

Those 34s look real good on Yotas, and they will hook up in mud too. Good progress!

Doable · « **Reply #48 on:** Jul 26, 2007, 12:31:53 PM »

Gittinit, Thanks I'm in south Louisiana mannnnyy mannny hours from any good trails.The club I ride with goes to Gilmer, and HotSpring mostly.GrayRock takes almost the same amount of time as HotSprings to get to.

Just no legal areas to ride around here, and everytime some kid in a mall crawler trespasses and gets stuck and ticketed by the police they perceive it to be all 4Wheel drives that are like that.Which does not help our image. The two 4 Wheel drive clubs I'm associated with work hard with the forest rangers in central Louisiana to gain access to trails that used to be opened here to 4x4 trucks......o.k. I'm finish ranting now.
