is it ok to buy used BJ spacers? i can get a deal but i've heard that you have to grind down something to fit them??? im not quite sure i havent done alot of searchin on that but would a used pair of BJ spacers be ok to buy as long as there is nothin wrong with them?

yes BJ spacers are nothing more then a block of aluminum wiht 5 holes drilled in it.. you grind own the upper a arm.

cool. i can probably get myself a pair for really cheep. i might as well go for it.

Tofer

sweet. you might want to look into a diff drop and Manual locking hubs.. i kept blowing out CV boots after i installed my BJ spacers until i installed the man. hubs.

yea im going to get some manual hubs once i get around to it. everything in the front is still at stock level but i plan on getting those once i go taller. there are two massive toyota wreckin yards in ranch cordova so i will be seeing what some aisins hubs go for at those places.

Tofer

try to get them online if you can.. i went to TAP and they were $50 bucks each (100 for the pair) you can usually find them on forums / ebay for about 50-60. TAP is usually my LAST chance resort.

holly ÅÅÅÅ. 100 bucks. ive seen them for like 30-40. i dont plan on buying them for anymore than that. thanks for the heads up.

ya i called them as asked "how much for a pair of manual locking hubs and do you have them in stock". the guy on the phone said " yep! 50 bucks." i was like sweet. i'll be there in a hour. fought 5 o'clock traffic to drive from stockton to sac and got there he had them sitting there waiting for me, rang me up and said ok that'll be $108. i was like but you quoted me 50... he said "ya well thats per hub price, i mean if you bought 5 of them are you expecting to pay 50 for them too?" i said no, but when i called as asked how much a pair of hubs were and was quoted 50 bucks i expect to pay that much. normally you buy these in pairs... his repsonce was "well you dont HAVE to buy them." but i had already wasted 1/4 a tank of gas an hour of my time to get there so i ended up paying the 100 bucks. i was pissed.

thats gay man. those people are pricks out there. why the hell would you buy just one hub? sorry you had to pay that.
