Jezus man thats some deep mud ya got there. Those swampers will sure be put to good use!

Ebay is your best option in my opinion. Any wheel spacer for a toyota should work. Here is the site I got mine from they delivered real fast and the spacers went on with ease and were of good quality. http://www.trail-gear.com/wheel-spacers Probably also want to get the flip socket they have because you will need a thin walled socket to put on the spacers. I also only have spacers in the front though i imagine you shouldnt have a problem with the rear.

Wheel Spacers work great for me, they are still tight as the day I put them on about 5 months ago

You're going to have rake like a mother effer

What backspace are your wheels? I have the stock wheels in the back with like 4.25?BS and my 33's just barely tuck if you have less backspace like 3.75 my guess is that you will rub. Keep in mind my tires are 285 75 16 so they are only 11.5 wide. Up front I had to use 1.5in wheel spacers in order to help the tires clear the strut.

I just think its wierd, nothing to say lol

Wierd because im about 6'3 and im about even with my roof on the 2in lift with 33's

Just out of curiosity, how tall are you?

Needs 35's

Well it wont close at all, the rod in the middle is bent so it cant turn at all

Might go have them turned if anything.

Cause after I took it out to see what happend I threw it back down in rage and thats where it landed

What do you always want to make sure you're lookin freshhhh?

Thanks for the link man. I looked into it a bit more and took a screwdriver and a hammer and bent what I call the dust shield back into its normal place...that fixed the rubbing I heard while driving and coasting around. Now I hear a bit of hissing when I brake. I could just be that I am listening for it more intensely and it was always there, or the jarr could have knocked loose some dirt and dust inside the drum. I will take off the wheel and try to see if the drum is bent or and liners broken later when i have a friend around to look out for falling.

Okay just uploaded pics What the normal drivers side drum looks like What the dropped side looks like You can kinda see in the last pic that there is a flat portion on the bottom of the drum and I can see a fresh line that looks to be from rubbing. Im planning on taking that and prying it out and hopefully that will help solve the problem If not I dont know what im going to do On the bright side of things I got some pretty mad flex YO!

Okay so I was in the process of taking off my wheels and tires to paint them, so I had jacked up the rear of the pathy. I used the scissor jack cuz it was the only jack I had. So I went to take off the passenger side rear tire and the whole scissor jack bent and the teeth on the pole that goes through the middle sheared off. All the weight landed on the edge of the drum So im stranded in the parking lot til a friend came and we used a high lift to get the tire back on. The drum looked to be bent at the time but straightened out once the lugs were put back on. It does rub a little bit when I drive its noticeable for sure, and it kinda sounds like sandpaper over metal but its like its only rubbing in one place when Im driving at like 10mph its a steady beat like swish...swish...swish...swish, and when I brake it becomes a steady swishhhhhh. The brakes still work fine from what I can tell I have only gone up to about 15mph and had no troubles stopping from that speed. So my question is, what could this be, just the outer shell of the drum or what? It looks like there is some considereable space difference between the two drums I will run down and get my camera I took pics with to show yall what happened. Im really hoping that this is a cheap fix or even just an adjustment. I will be getting a real floor jack later this afternoon to take off the tire again (hoepfully without the rear falling again ) And see if I can pry what looks to me like a dust boot away to see if that helps at all. I know nothing about drum brakes and I was an idiot for doing this but any help would be appreciated.

It has both the homelink and the fancy double visor, on main one, that folds down and to the side and behind that it has a visor that can only fold down (that has the info card for operating the allmode 4wd system also on it, like a plastic pull out card)

My 2001 LE came from the factory with those, dont know if its a year thing, or a sub model thing. And to be honest I never use my visor, but the homelink sure does come in handy!

Post pics when u get those on

Well you do realize that with the sfd it is dropping your whole front subframe down. But this does allow you to run bigger tires which would give you more ground clearance. And you would also still have topping out and the same CV shaft angles ect. Basically its just taking everything keeping the same geometry and pushing it down.

Nope, I am having a buddy who has made many custom bumpers before help me with it. I drew up a sketch in sketchup and the pics are on his laptop, I will see if I can get them from him. I plan on copying the mounting brackets from ARB and KMA using about 8 bolts per side to make sure its strong enough to winch with. He has made a custom bumper from scratch for both his truck and his XJ and also fabbing up some other things. Here are some pics of the bumpers he has built in the past. The truck bumper looks now like in the last pic, black w/red drings. But as you can see with the pics he is pretty talented, and the build for the bumper starts this summer XJ Bumper Truck Bumper

We had Goodyear Advantage on our G35 and they were great, not a complaint about them. Now we had BfGoodrich tires dont know what model though.

No need for longer wheel studs. The spacers that I got and most that I know of atleast come with new studs pressed into them. They attach to the truck using the old wheel studs, and the old lug nuts tighten them on. Then the wheel attaches to the new studs on the wheel spacer. It sounds wierd but its worked great for me so far. Also reguarding sfd and all, its kinda like a body lift but not, in that you do gain some height but you also do gain alot of flex in the rear from longer springs and all. You can also run bigger tires, im planning on 35x12.5 Goodyear Wrangler MTR Kevlar

Oh yeah I have added 1.5in wheel spacers since those first pics were taken. The reason why is because of those crappy cross terrains you can clearly see the bulge in the tire, and they wore like butter. I have since gone to 33's BFG AT, and I love em to death. The hub is now like inside the cutout, hard to explain but here are some pics I just took.

Im making my own this summer a hybrid between an ARB and KMA. I worked out prices and all of building materials and such and it should only cost about 350-400 bucks depending on metal prices and if I change up the design at all.
