TJM no longer makes the R50 bumpers, tries to get a run made for AC board, TJM said they lost the tooling and can no longer make them.

Yeah, Prado=we'll let you know when it's ready for sale=no buyers. I wanted one, but then saw price increase, damage to test vehicles, no kit as promised, etc,etc... Not that the guys didn't try, just never brought a real product to market. Dean your rear bumper is nice, but we all don't have the kinda cash you dropped on it either. I wish we had more options like the Heep crowd, but we don't. I also hope people continue to try bringing new products to market for the Pathy's, it doesn't hurt to try!!!

Okay, looked at it with wheel at full lock, about 1&1/2" to 2" of clearance from the spring perch. Like I said earlier though, full flex may change things, I haven't hit full flex and lock with these on the truck yet.

Don't know off hand how much space is there. I rubbed in the usual places with 31's, some trimming took care of that. I'll have a look when it gets light out, but I can't say for sure that under flex things won't rub differently with the extra 1/4" than mine does now.

I am using this wheel in a 15x8 with 4" backspacing. Simulated beadlock(mine is silver). ION170.

FYI - Foam filter elements are the absolute worst out there. They do not filter well comparatively. Compared to what? All the info I've seen shows they filter as well or better than stock or K&N. They also have better flow rates.

In your case I suggest a jack, the bigger the jack used the higher the lift.

The headers from a 3.0L are supposed to fit, however you will need to drill out the bolt holes in the head flanges, R50 bolts are bigger. I'm currently looking in to this as well. I believe Stillen used to make headers for the r50, but not anymore.

I have a Weapon-R on my 98. Gas mileage improved a little, throttle response seemed better, engine sound was definately improved. Intake tube however is set up for a Maxima, so creative hose routing is necessary, unless they've fixed that issue.Look at the airflow ratings however, flows like 2x the air of K&N and filters to a smller micron particle, you decide. If I had to do it again I would buy a Weapon-R filter and use local ricer parts from Pepboys, Autozone, etc for the actual intake.

Haven't put the spacers in yet, still waiting for a winch. Bumper doesn't appear to add too much dive by itself. I would post the pics ..... but my computer is not liking my new camera soo, have to get them talking first.

My KMA is here and mounted, wil post some pics later today. Now I just need a good deal on a winch!

I run a WeaponR filter and love it. Deep throaty sound. Flow test showed better performance than K&N, plus better filtration. For exhaust I had a stainless Magnaflow welded in place of the stocker and the a new pipe to the rear to eliminate the resonator. All working well so far.

My KYB's did the same thing on the front left, as I ride 'em they got quieter, Been a couple months though. Guess it takes a while for them to wear in. Will probably replace bearings when I put in spacers & bumper.

Amsoil

Haynes manual shows removing ball joint and entire hub/disk assembly, do I need to do this or remove hub as if I was installing warns and just clean regrease everything?

It's all good, glad he found one. I ordered from KMA. Besides I was taught you have to start at the bottom and work your way up, he just got there first!!!

And where did you find that TJM at vengeful, looked for 2 years and couldn't find one

Exactly why I'm asking, I don't want to replace things just to track down the cause. Don't mind spending if something unexpected comes up in the middle of a job, just not because I picked the wrong place to start. Thanks for the replies.

As stated, squeal similar to brake squeal heard when I make left turns. Happens at any speed, and occasionally over bumps. Squeals with hubs locked in but not as bad. Any sugestions or ideas will be appreciated. I would like to fix it quickly, once. I dislike trial and error mechanics, makes me feel dumb each time at the parts counter....... nope wasn't that, here's more money.....

Recently ordered from KMA, semi custom, will let everyone know how it fits and how i like it once it gets to me. BTW not bad pricing, D-rings, signals, plate style grill guard, light hoop and shipping to Jersey around $750
