When mounting the tire, what keeps the pivot pins to the side and out of the way? When reaching through the inner bead, is the safety bead on the inside of the wheel smaller or shallower to gain access for arms? Can you mount these up without a tire machine? Do the pivot pins have multiple...

Jim, i feel for you man!! These batteries are not what they used to be...

common words when shopping for this sort of stuff.. solenoid-simple, dumb, same as a starter solenoid(not really, but to keep it simple) separator-smart solenoid, moving parts isolator-smart, no moving parts i run both a separator and a solenoid(40 amp relay) in two different vehicles. the...

don't bother with lockers. **Not hating on your rig, at all!!!*** A liberty is not a good vehicle for building like that. you just have to replace everything to get halfway to what a stock vehicle in a different platform is. By the time you have your liberty built as far as it reasonably can...

I am planning to spray a project i am building right now. I did some research on the rustoleum and played around with some colors and clear. when i sprayed just the color, it looked ok. lots of coats and good coverage still has alot of orange peel. on the same color that was rough with orange...

the rear driveshaft length isnt an issue with the 5 speed and split case. the TSM e brake option works well, but doesnt fit well. to fit it under the 40, you have to mount it low on the transfer case. connecting the cable to the ebrake is not the easiest thing to do. with the multiple 5 speeds...

sure looks like a pain to replace that fuse!! Ha ha........sweet ride!! P.S. i've got a full size van now, aka the "free candy" van

when i did a dual battery setup on a 200, i ended up putting the second battery behind the ARB bumper. I had to make a custom bracket and the location is not ideal(especially if you don't have a bumper). the truck didn't have many miles on it and i didn't want the owner to have problems with...

Not that this hasn't been argued over and over, but don't we buy Toyota Land Cruisers for a reason? How many miles did the stock hose last? Usually at least 150K. I have replaced stock ones with 300K. Mine went at 170K. What is more likely to burst/split/chafe/rupture, steel or rubber? Toyota...

make sure your timing is right. i mean make sure all the marks are aligned properly on the cams and crank. otherwise look into exhaust restriction.

if these are anything like all the other Icon stuff i have installed, they will be very well made and ride great!

most likely the wheel bearings were real loose.

that is exactly what i was suggesting. Looks great! look forward to seeing more of the build!

All looks like great work!!!! keep an eye on the rear upper link mount at the frame. after doing a similar 3 link on the rear of a 4th gen 4 runner, the frame does not hold up to abuse very well. i see that the bracket is plenty beefy, but the frame is not plated. i am in no way saying...

Very nice rig!! Always a pleasure to see/work on it!
