LIFT INSTALL:
For a first suspension i went with the OME medium/medium setup. It rides awesome. Layton (layonnn) was gracious enough to help me install it. Thanks again man i could NOT have done it without your vast knowledge! Ordered the kit from Jacque over at TRDPARTS4u.com.


here's layton doing all the work...

Re: Hodges Fj

Mmm, i think i can do this weekend.

Where are you ordering it from? Trdparts4u in Dallas has some great prices. Call and ask for Jacque, he'll hook you up.

Have you thought about coming to Wheeltoberfest in October as well? Will be a very fun event.

cool cool. yeah dude i was telling my fiance about it yesterday. Her sister lives in Austin so it would give us an excuse to go up there. it looks like its gonna be fun. i've been trying to get a camping trip together forever this would be perfect!

Re: Hodges Fj

i love em. drives a lot better than stock, and i haven't gotten them aligned yet either. soo awesome

Re: Hodges Fj

Looks great Hodges.

BTW, my stupid front coilovers still won't go in, haha.

I have now resorted to getting on the forum to scour install threads for other ideas.
With the bottle jack on, front diff completely unbolted, and the control arms pushed all the way down, still its about a cm off from being able to go in.

DANG!! I thought they would be easy to get them on since they're not as long as the OME? well, if you need some help dont hesitate to ask.

Re: Hodges Fj

bumper blackout and trail gear rockrails coming this weekend!

 

[Hodges]

Hey Jason,

There is a spot right near my apartment on Siegen that has some trails. Since it hasn't been raining it is really dry and perfect. Lots of dips and such to flex out the suspension. I went out there last night and there is this sweet hill climb. Kind of have to do it at night though. (around midnight or so)

Let me know if you want to come give it a try.

YEAH DUDE! im down whenever. you dont think we could get away with a daytime run or is it private property or something? but yeah that sounds fun. hey this weekend you gonna be working on your truck? i want to do my blackout and maybe wire up my roof lights. my sliders arent' gonna be here till Monday but i can prob get those on myself.

Re: Hodges Fj

Re: Hodges Fj

Looking NICEEEE.

I had to take a double take at your avatar, i thought for real "a gator ate ya baby" (said in Australian accent)

I got finished with my brakes debacle at 4am last night, haha. Out of 7 brakes lines, i got 5 swapped to stainless steel braided lines and bled all of them. 2 of them i was afraid i was gonna damage the hard line and i didn't have a replacement if i did damage them, so i'll wait.

Still need to do a LOT
I'll be up at the shop most of Wednesday doing some last minute additions/fixes if you need to install anything.

haha yeah. i dont think i would have been able to do any wheelin last night anyway. by the time the LSU game was over i was out... drank a few too many sam adams. and wednesday i might come by the shop so u can help me install those sliders if i cant do it myself. ..and maybe wire my roof lights if it wont take us too long??

Re: Hodges Fj

Re: Hodges Fj

Wheeltoberfest 2010. This was an amazing weekend in Marble Falls, TX. We drove in to Austin on Thursday night, and camped out Friday and Saturday. Met a lot of awesome people, saw a lot of awesome trucks, drank a lot of beer, and wheeled a lot of trails. Can't wait for the next one.
