$650 for 6" rear HD springs (big sigh) shipping to Hawaii..$3-400 bucks... Got to pay to play...and the price of living in Hawaii.... Gonna be awhile till i upgrade the rear..

Thanks! That totally makes sense!

In the middle of designing and welding a spare tire bed mount/rack. Its a cross between a 'Pack Rackʻ design with a tire mount on top. Question is : How does this mount to the rails without drilling holes? The only option i figured was mounting it similar to how those bed rail "tie-down" are...

Sounds good. Yea Summer works for me, preferrable a weekend if possible. I'm a family man so gotta schedule. A meet & greet would be cool, maybe down old a's, bbq, get aquainted truck talk.... Im down Lmk shoots!

Rajah dat. Yea, just the Maks road can heat up the shocks a bit. Mine were really warm so normal trail 4x4ing is what i do. Not to much into rambling. I seen your rig about a week ago just passing mauka mickeys... Of course i was in my other rig so a shaka wouldve gone unnoticed. Shoots...mahalos!

Rajah and Thx, Iʻm hoping to get the fox coilovers by years end. That and rear replācement leaf springs. How did those with the resorviors do? Is that all hype? For serious off-roaders? My stocks did well for what i did which is why im sticking to just the coilovers. Alot of Taco's here have...

How critical was it to ensure re-installation of control arms were aligned when you finished install? Could the coilovers/struts be installed without having to get an alignment after?

Finally got my magnaflow installed. Its nice, a low tone and low in-cab noise. Unnoticeable at highway speeds, feels like engine is breathing out better. Sounds like what v6ʻs should.

Hello

Ive been considering customizing my grill but are the oem grills designed for a certain way of air flow into the engine bay? Do these "satoshi" grills improve that? More air in the cooler the engine right? Any affect aerodynamically? As if this matters with a "brick with large tires" on the road...

Im happy with my k&n. I do believe i gained some horses. Not alot but noticeable since running larger tires. Mpg went down a mile or two which was expected with the larger tires. Ive considered getting a back up filter too when cleaning, but here where i live its not as dusty and my truck is a...

This was a good read.... http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/DiffDrop.shtml

I think those will fit with little chance of rubbing...maybe. I had 265/65/17 as stock which isnt that much of a differnce to those you want. Your new size is a bit wider though...id ask a tire shop

I would install it and see if there is any difference positive or negative. When i was more into trucking about 15 years ago IFS kits scared me because of the CV angles those kits back then had. I loved my straight axle. Alot of guys had concerns with their CV's wearing out. They'd crank their...

My mistake. I used quaker 5w-30. Should be good.
