Thanks man. 32 11.50 15, No rub in the front or rear whether Im at full crank or max flex. The BJ spacers and new Coils are great. I will get a new set of 33's in a month or so and from my research Ill have no issue fitting those either.

I think you are referring to my lift and suspension? Honestly, I was flat out AMAZED at the difference it made. I mean its incredible. My rig mostly sees trail wheeling, no hard pre running or rock crawling, somewhere in between. When I need it to flex it does respectably well (ifs considered) and when I step on the throttle and drive over terrain prob far faster than what is safe, it soaks it up incredibly well.
FAR better then i could have ever imagined. Trucks even gotten completely air borne! (sometimes on purpose other times not so much.) I can ignore speed bumps lol soaks em up no worse than a mild pot hole. When out wheeling I can get back to camp 10-15 min faster than my straight axle friends lol. Simply because the ride is nowhere near as jarring.

Things have been busy as of late. I bought a super clean lil 85 2wd pick up to be my DD so I havent been doing a whole lot to the 90. Except for finding out that my reverse is going out in my auto trans........
That said I will be lookin at my options with that soon enough but for now I will post a pic of some wheeling Ive done over the last few months and hopefully will catch up with pics of my rig in action. Enjoy!

For Liberty my friend!!!
So I'm currently out of state for work so I dont have the means to get anything done to the truck until mid december. However...... Since I am working out of state my wages have been adjusted so when I return the truck will be getting a whole lot of needed and wanted attention.
A few months ago I did pick up these babies to get rid of the crossover and add to the sexiness of the yota.
saw em on craigslist called the guy up and not only did he have the 3.0 downey headers for the 3.0 he also had the all important carb sticker needed for nazi Kalifornia. So after chatting with him a bit he says they are mine for $125 if I take them off his hands that weekend.
I drove up that night.
So while I am there I ask what other stuff he has for sale as he has a very well maintained 4runner in the drive. Lo and behold he has a header for a 22r also a downey, so I call my buddy who had been looking, he didnt answer but I took the risk and said I'd buy em if the price was right (in hopes my buddy did indeed want them at the time.) Well The guy tells me he will sell me both headers for a mere 150. We shook hands and I drove home =)
I did return home this last weekend and purchased a few goodies from the Lucas Oil offroad expo in Pomona
The wheels not the dog lol
Method Racing Double standard wheels. 15x8
Ill be skatin on these with fresh km2's when I am back in December!!! Got 5 so I will have a full sized legit spare off the rear tire carrier and everything.
I also bought a thrasharoo Pack for the yota as well.

15x8 if I am not mistaken. They are made by ENKEI , but for the life of me I cant find any information on model name or number! I wanted to get a 5th for the longest time but I couldn't find information on getting a matching wheel. I like the way they look but I got hooked on those Methods and decided to go that route.
I got the in dash as my first own CB that I wasn't simply borrowing from a friend so i decided to find one that would fit in the dash, it works rather well. I do need to tune the antenna properly still however.

Such an awesome score on the header! I wish I can find one for that cheap. It's a shame that there are only 3 or 4 companies selling them and their $600+. There are always people on here asking about headers for these engines. Obviously the demand is there, more companies need to start making them. Then the price might start to creep down due to competition...Well, enough about my economics rant...

Clean 2 door!! How much did that CB run you, im in that stage of setting up a CB in my "90 PU, and been curious about the in dash CB's.
Also, with those poly bushings. What does it do for the overall quality exactly?

As for the CB i blieve it ran me around $60-ish bucks? As for the bushings the poly wont degrade like rubber will, its a little more elastic, softer if you will without being weak. I cant say that poly vs rubber is a better option for ride quality new vs new. but when the time came to replace my cracked dry rotted rubber, i decided to go with the poly, and beyond some fitment issues i had with the rear sway bar i am quite pleased =)
