yeah, I have just ground mine down where they would work, but it looks like the housing is in the way right now. i'll cehck it again tonight and make sure.
Thanks for the info. Please post a pic if you have one!

 

Your 4runner is coming along great! Can't wait to see some action shots

 

We'll have those in about a month

 

Sure will! Now if I could only get my cragar wheels and calipers to work together I could get my 35's on.

I can grind the calipers some but I think I'll need a little more. (Redneck engineering idea – not my idea) Does anyone see a problem putting 1 washer on all six studs to get me that little bit of extra room? I didn’t really like the idea when my buddy said it but now that I think about it doesn’t seem like it would hurt anything – that’s why I’m asking you guys.

 

Inside of the wheel hub won't seat against the rotor housing like it is supposed to. I wouldn't do it on mine. Don't redneck engineering do it...do it properly. My 2 cents.

 

That was my thought about the wheel hub. Does anyone know were I could get some small spacers. I really don't want to use 1" spacers.

 

The slip on 1/4" spacers will vibrate like hell. Do it right, get the 1" spacers from Marlin or similar.

 

I second that idea, I was going to get Marlin's spacers when I had clearance issies, but then I just splurged and got Lexus wheels, you should should just do the same, AND beadlock them.

 

I’m going to order some spacers. I’m going to order 1.5” spacers for both front and rear. My front and rear are the same width right now because I did the IFS hub swap when I did my SAS.

Does anyone see a problem running 1.5” spacers and me driving the truck on-road often? I’, thinking it’ll put a lot of wear on the bearings. Doing 1.5” spacers would be like having 2.5” backspace wheels.

 

Make sure you RED Loc-tite them bitches on....don't wanna lose a wheel.

I have 1.5" spacers on the front axle...no problems.

 

Yeah, but he might drive his.

 

i have 1.5" spacers on mine... came loose once, but after being tightened a second time, they're fine.

 

It's all outta love Wabbit.




Now get back to work

 

Did you have any problems hitting your oil pan with your HP elocker while flexed?

 

I've got an LP e-locker and still havn't installed it. I've been slacking some (GF demands attention). Planning to get back to work on it this week.

 

Oh ok. Your first post says you were planning on going HP in the front.

And actually, it doesn't matter anymore as I found out it's not the 3rd member that hits, it's the tie rod. Thanks anyway.

 

Well I finally got off my a$$ and finished some stuff on the truck. First, thanks again to Marc (zman2day) for letting my use his garage and tools.

I installed the front e-locker, the rear 5” and front 4” springs (I’ve been running some procomp 3” springs up front and some 4” TG ones in the rear.) I also got my front driveshaft finished.

I also have my 35” MTR’s on the truck.

I’ll have some pictures in a couple of days.

I still have to finish up the e-locker wiring and figure out my rear shocks. I’m also planning to have my warn 8274 installed before my May trip to Tellico.

 

Well I get to add replace transmission to the list of things to do. I didn’t like it anyways . I guess my truck was telling me it wanted a 5 speed and dual cases .

On my way home from Marc’s my automatic transmission decided to let go after 250,000+ miles of service. Thanks again to Marc we got the truck back to his house. Now I just gotta get my trailer and a truck to tow the damn thing home.

Good Times!

 

Dang Greg. Hey, Marlin can build a 5 speed for your rig that has a 5.15 first gear!

 

I've got a good R150 here at the house.

I got the truck home tonight. I drove it on the trailer. I don't know what's up with the trans. A buddy of mine said I could have a crank in the trans so when it heats up and expands it lets it slip.

Anyone have any ideas?
