Cool, I'll e-mail you about the download. I just noticed the angle that Hi-Lift is at in the pic... :scared: Quite a selling point for your adapter I think....

jack up the rear, put a stand under the frame and let the rear axle droop as much as possible. (if the coils come out easily, then take them out and do this "on the bench" and then just reinstall them) take a hack-saw BLADE and slide it in between the coils and cut off the lower puck on the conical bumpstop. slide it out between the coils and then cut off the next one and slide it out. mash the bag flat (w/ your foot) and put some tape over the nozzle, and squeeze it into the coil. it helps if you spray some WD40 on the coil wraps. it should just "pop" into place. take the tape off the top nozzle, run the hose down the center hole in the conical bumpstop and attach it to the nozzle. jack it up, take out the stand and let it back down. the bag will reinflate itself and take it's original shape.

do the other side.

now hook the hoses together w/ a tee fitting and then install the air-up valve on the driver side rear body mount bracket - easiest and convienent spot w/ a factory hole already there. stick the tubing on the valve and put some air in 'em.

i've done 3 sets now. i can do a pair in about 30-45 min...

My pictures from the FJ Team work. I got 3 cards and they all work.

Chris

Getting turned on again I see.......

:mrt:

I know! I can't wait to see you again next month and get to ride in the front seat of your broke back 4runner! :)

Chris

My ID still won't work. The team member Rod, rode in my truck the whole 2nd day & took some really good pics of my truck too. I hope somebody got some more pics. I will have the rest of mine posted to the SE4RJ3 Gallery by the end of the day.

Yeah mine didn't work the first day either, I'm gonna try later today once I'm home for longer than a lunch period.

I think there are a few good pics of your truck on my photobucket page for SE4RJ3. I posted a link earlier in this thread.

Damage report:
3 broken steering knuckle studs- replaced on the trail with help from Roger, Ernie, Brett, Paul, and Mark.
1 thrashed trunion bearing- Roger had a spare
Jumped a tooth on my timing chain- adjusted by Mark
Gas Tank skid plate now hits driveshaft during flex
Rear Bumper- you guys saw it
smells like I burnt up my valve seals, might as well rebuild the whole engine

Can't wait to go back and break some more stuff

Dang man. A lot of stuff for you.

I had a problem with my steering studs too.

Damage Report for me
Dirt in my floor.
Bunch of new pinstripes.
My rear bumper is no more.
Tailgate has a lot of new dents and scraches.

Good Times - lets do it again.

Damage report for me:

Inner axle seal failed, replaced by Wabbit & Jeremy at Crawford's (Thanks!)
Passenger front fender crunched by tire flex, removed on the trail.
Rear bumper pushed into lower side bumper extention.
Small tear in soft top from careless mounting of Hi-Lift.
Lots of dirt & mud too. I'll be counting the days till SE4RJ4!

I uploaded another 30 pics to the gallery tonight. Still can't get my FJ Trail Team card to work.

Try going to this page and entering the info, that is how I finally got it to work.

thanks Steve, that worked. I got one pic, I guess I was expecting a few more, but it's cool. Thanks again for the t-shirt too.

I got my new to me used Ranger today. I'll post pics this weekend after I pick it up! I don't know if I told everyone, but I asked the buy that bought my 4runner if I could buy it back whenever it comes time that he wants to sell it. Any mileage or condition will be fine and I'm waiting to hear back from him. I thought long and hard about my decision to sell it(after the fact obviously) I just spent too much time, money, and too many good memories to not get it back in the future.

Chris

I didn't get a card, so I guess they didn't take any pics of me. I guess mine is just too much of a grocery getter. :dunno:

Ryker, I only got one pic too. They said "Heres a card with all your pics on it. Go to the site and punch in your code." Went to site, punched in code after tooling around for awhile, one pic- me next to my truck. not even an action shot. talk about a bummer.
At least all you guys took plenty of pics of my truck. Cory had 3 out of the 12 he took. I'll post them after I resize them. or after I figure out how to resize them. also, how do I post a video. Cory shot about 20 minutes of slickrock and trail 8's ledges. I think I can download it direct to my PC and then upload it to the net. I'm computer stupid so it might take some time.

Mike

Hey Mike,
Here is a post from Mark (formulatoy #36);
"The albums are assigned to the user group and everything should be working fine.

You choose Upload

Find your pics on your puter

Assign each pic to one of the Three Albums Available (Carnage, Trail, Crawfords)

Done...

You can upload 10 at one time. Steve, if you can zip them and email them to me at vanmeter@vanmeteroffroad.com I'll upload them for you so you can get to work."

Just PM him and send the video and all to him. He will put it on the SE4RJ site.

Thanks,
Will
