I'm running hankook rubber at the moment. Where I am the only guys who run coopers are the giys who will wear them out in under two years otherwise they go hard as f! And get dangerous! If I was goin at's I'd go with the bf's, great all-rounder.

Toyota do a winch cradle for their genuine bar. I wouldn't bother with that bar tho, doesn't even protect from a decent size bird strike!

You unbolt the body from the chassis and they sit between the factory rubbers and the body. Has no effect on any moving parts when done properly!

Any n70 type will be fine. Acdelco, century are both good.

He's asking about a body lift! Did mine years ago, easy job for two guys, basic tools and a few tins! Steer clear of the above mentioned strut spacers! Very dangerous when not fitted correctly and other modifications done accordingly.

Didn't pump ya tyres up or anything did ya?! I fit OME for a living, take it to whoever fitted it and ask them to check it out.

This is goin around over here and I'll say it again. You pull a move like that on the black top then you deserve to roll! It's a 4x4 not a sports car! And who really cares! We all know that we wouldn't own anything else ey!

I have a chain one but I also have one similar that has a lenght of like seat belt strap instead of the chain. Seems to work better in the confined space.

There are a few but not many! There are a couple of other brands that are popular over here, ultimate and billstien. Guys who are after a full 2 or more inches of lift go with these two but if they are after long-term performance most will end up with ome. Having an adjustable shock for everyday use...

Comparing fox2.0 to ome nitro chargers is a waste of time, two completely different items! A race bred shock v an everyday use offroad shock. Why not compare it to the ome bp51s designed by a guy from the fox offroad team who now work for arb. These new struts are in a league of their own. Big bucks...

Awesome job mate! When do they go on sale!

They r 30mm spacers. No matter what size you gamble with putting in ya playing with fire. Only safe way to use then is to extend your bump stops accordingly.

Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

lukestoyzx

Nothing!!! Just driving down the road, went through a dip in the road and the suspension went down and didn't come up! This caused by installing strut spacers! They allow the strut to bottom out before the lca contacts bump stop causing the shock to bend or snap!

Why 17!? 285s will fit with either a 3 inch suspension lift or like myself a 2 inch suspension lift and a 2 inch body lift. I run zero offset steelies but you'll get away with p10. You'll want ya grinder and welder handy to do a body mount chop and there'll be some trimming and flogging of the flare...

That wire will have 12v and when the reg fails that wire gets grounded, completing the circuit and making the light come on.

Sounds like you need to do the 2wd low range mod! Really handy for backing heavy items and for leaving in low range then flicking it into hi range. Anyhow there r also mobs that do a bigger flywheel and heavy clutch for big horsepower applications, worth a look!

×2 on what mars said, extremely important! Clean the seats, replace the seals with the updated version. The is also an updated version of the injector retaining forks and they r known for breaking! Injector lines should also be replaced. A rag and a lenght of 16mm dowel is ideal for cleaning the sea...

Totally different vehicle I know but a commodore I owned years ago had exactly the same issue. Exhaust sensor, jam some new ones in.

Very possible, it's a wearing component just like the injectors.

Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

lukestoyzx

Take the thing somewhere else! Get the feeback values checked. Also get the check all the other specs and pressures as it may not have been an injector at all! A bad Scv will show the same symptoms.

Yep those exact ones! If those washers aren't replaced and the seats cleaned periodically they can leak. This allows compression gasses passed and into the rocker cover burning the oil, this burnt oil forms chunks of carbon which make thier way to the sump and begin to block up the oil pick-up scree...
