Nice!! I just got some myself and fixed them up and just finished putting some 6.5 inch speakers in them 20 mins ago. I do have to agree, super fun to drive with them on!

They look great. I've been considering making a set but I've been wonder how these effect gas milage, I doubt they help your aerodynamics. My 4runner doesn't get good mileage as it is. Has anyone noticed a change in gas mileage?

so far so good .. this is my 4th year now , and no problems .. I have been threw only 1 road block in that time , and the officer just said " cool " ..
my doors work !! .. they have all the necessary components , mirrors , working latches , and they open and close .

ALSO
I have been wanting to lift up the back end for a while .. so today I built some rear shackles .. nothing to drastic , just something to level out the truck .
also wanted them to be greasable .. so here what I got ....
started drilling the bolts ..
vertical
and horizontal
then taped
and added the grease nipple
made some sleeves , and main brackets .. and got ready to install ..
started by removing the old shackles and bushings
installed the shackles and measured for the center support ..
got them all welded up , and zinc'd
installed
brought it up about an 1 1/2" .. just where I wanted it ..

seriously .. not really into doin' this stuff for sale .. the Fiberglass and other stuff is plenty .. (a whole raft of new pieces comming) .. but thanks for the props ..
Thing is .. this is my shop truck .. If I paint it ..she will look like all the other toys around here . With NO paint , people ask questions .. kind of advertizing ..
once I get my Trekker built .. then maybe .. but not now.

sorry .. havent been able to post for a bit .. ??? http error ..
anyway ..
yes , they work awesome , i'm very happy .. it's amazing what a little grease will do .. my replacement springs & bushings were only 7 years old but yet siezed , and no movement .. now they move .. well worth it ..
they are avaliable from USA suppliers .. but i'm a "builder" so I made my own .
