    2008 Dirty Dollar FJ Build

    Also, wound up purchasing these these rear shock mounts. Still figuring out where to mount them. I think I'm gonna completely cut out the upper & lower mount. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Poverty Spec Overlanding

    Absolutely beautiful! I love when these trucks roll into the shop. It's like going back in time to when 4 wheelers had that low dollar nostalgia. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    I didn't know that about the Icon kit. It looks like they are a "balanced" kit. Where they correct, then the camber & caster can be set using the lower control arms. Personally I like having the ability to adjust. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    The SPC Light Racing arms are the only ones I know of that provide adjustment for Caster/Camber correction. They are in my Amazon Shopping Cart. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    That's exactly what I started with. I used Bilstein/Toytec/Metal Tech. But, I wanted as much travel as I could get. And I'm still working the bugs out. Also used spacers up front to get my lift instead of having to preload the springs and have a bouncy ride up front. Sent from my iPhone using...

    If I was to do mine all over again. I'd go with OME BP-51. Heavy springs cause I like to camp/load it down. Plus have the ability to adjust the rear compression and rebound. Not many kits under $3k can boast that. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Yes, that's a really good kit. The OME BP-51 kit doesn't come with control arms. But, the shocks in the OME kit look better. https://bilsteinlifts.com/shop/toyota-fj-cruiser/toyota-fj-cruiser-2010-2011-2012-2013/complete-lift-kits/ome-2-5-3-lift-kit-for-2010-2014-toyota-fj-cruiser-with-bp-51/...

    2008 Dirty Dollar FJ Build

    I'm thinking about buying a winch mount from OrangeBoxx Fab. Then buying a tubing bender from affordable benders and making my own front & rear bumpers. The Warrior products bumpers may be an option as well. But I like investing in tools. The tools would cost less than the bumpers. So, I'm...

    The Super Trooper Budget Build.- 1999 Isuzu Trooper

    I used to use engine oil (10-30 or 15-40) to keep them moving free. Some guys use wheel bearing grease. I found they bind & seize up. When road dirt and mud from the trails mixes with the heavier grease. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    2008 Dirty Dollar FJ Build

    I went with Bilstein 5100's up front. Toytec Coil over sleeves, with a 1" spacer. This way I get lift without having to preload the springs and get a bouncy ride up front. Rear's got Metal Tech Long Travel. They are the first gen 2" lift springs. Rear shocks are Bilstein 7100, compression...

    2008 Dirty Dollar FJ Build

    I thought about it. But I'm not dead set on these lower shock mounts. If I brace them and add a lower skid. The shock is gonna be tough to install/remove. I like these mounts. They are for Tacoma. They've got a hefty price tag on em. But, they come with uppers & lowers. Then there's these...
