New ToyTec adjustable Coilovers
Doug from ToyTec Lifts and I just installed their new coilovers on my FJ. Go to the Group Buy section for details. http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/foru...oytec-adjustable-coilovers-group-buy-new.html
I will be testing them out in Moab this weekend. More pictures and info to come after I get back.

Yeah I saw those last week when I went over to get my lift on his 4 Runner, showing them to me as if I could afford it 
What I am interested in are the LCA guards, especially after watching Eric bash the other one this weekend at China Wall.
Looks like that spare you sent with me is going to come in handy for him.

My friend has them installed on his 4-runner. They do look nice and strong. Toytec is in the process of having them made for the FJ. The only ones he has fit the older 4-runners.Yeah I saw those last week when I went over to get my lift on his 4 Runner, showing them to me as if I could afford it

From the looks of your avatar you made the right choice in buying the ICON's (witch Toytec also sells). The ICON's have more oil capacity so they don't heat up has faster during high speed baja style off-roading. The valving will also be more fine tuned, but will require rebuilding to maintain their high level of quality. Toytecs are better suited for rock crawling and occasional baja style of driving.

I've had OME 884,885,886's on my FJ and driven a couple other's that had Donahoes. Up till now I was running OME 885 coil with the Bilstein 1500 and a Toytec top plate spacer. My reason for choosing the Bilstein 1500 struts was because they had the longest extended length over stock,OME 140's, and the Donahoes. This combo gave me max lift to fit 35" tires and I mostly do rock crawling. The 886's were just too stiff of a ride witch made me feel unsafe off-roading with them. This is with a 140# bumper with no winch. The Toytec coilovers feel the same as an 885 on the Bilsteins and I don't have use the top plate spacer to achieve the same lift height with it set a 3". The adjustability is the biggest benefit. It's like having an OME medium setup and being able to adjust it for when you can afford that new bumper your wife won't let you buy
. Also get rid of that driver-side lean. As far as holding up. Like I said I've been running basically this setup for over 7,000 miles with no issues. They do come with alum. swaybar relocate brackets. Without the brackets my swaybar links were hitting the spindle on one side. The Eibach coil has more wined's but smaller in diameter than the OME 885 coil. This way you can still use the stock UCA's because they don't contact the coil.
I ran Steelbender and Metal Masher. The new gears are holding up so far. I now need a new rear bumper though.
I never did ask what the price of these were. His last fab guy was taking a long time so Doug has a new guy working on them for the FJ. Hopefully he will have them soon. IMO the lower control arms and the bracket that mounts them to the frame are a major week spot on the FJ. I have the All-Pro heavy duty LCA's that have taken a beating. I also had All Phase Offroad plate over the stock mounting brackets. Best money spent.
