So Bandi,
Now that you've had those spacers for a while...how about an update?
I just installed my All pro suspension and your not kidding...wow... I too have been playing with the settings on each drive to get it how I like it. Nice stuff.
There are no Issues with the Spacers at all, Except
I now will need to do the Body Mount Mod to clear
my 34's at full turn... up to now, they were finr with
1/2" - 1" clear... But I Knew this when I bought the
spacers... I really cannot tell the difference in handling,
but I know there is due to the increased stance...

Add another two coats of Rustoleum Clear Enamel and the red will really pop. That's what I did with my wheels. Same recipe you used above, just add the clear coat.
I Just did the Body Mount Mod... It gave me 2" clearance between the tire and the mount at full lock... VERY NICE, 35" Tires down the road will not be an issue !!!...
I was rushed do to holiday preparation, So they did not turn out as pretty as I had wanted, but I will fix that up at a later date...
I don't know about NJ, but we just got our tree on Friday and both Lowe's and HD were practically sold out! And nobody was getting any more shipments. We settled on a 7 foot Douglas. My preference was for a Frazier, but all gone. Some of the mom & pop operations were selling all kinds for about double the HD prices! I guess that's capitalism, but dang-it, if I was going to pay $75 for a 6 ft Frazier!
Leroy, from personal experience I'd recommend knocking off the corner of the factory bottom lip next to your welded area at a 45* angle about 3/4" to 1" back from where you are now, thats where it will rub on compression & full turn. Looking good so far though!
Thanks for the advise Terry... I want to be ready
to run 35's when it comes time... I will be patching
these up when I get a some more time... My
Bro-In-Law wanted to weld these up, and I had
not mutch time, so I let him... Not the his best
work that I have seen him do... but it can be fixed
to my liking later on...
I will trim them up higher as you suggested... I am
going to grind down the welds and redo them as
needed for a clean look, plus cut the bottom edge
of and add a 3/8" solid round stock along the
bottom edge for strength... see below...

I Finally added my Axe/Shovel Combo to my Stock
Roof Rack...
I Used the Fourtreks Perpendicular Mount setup for
this... The Clamps are very strong (same as for the
Hi-Lift mount) and mount up east...
I Now have 6 ring clamps up on my roof rack, which
if you notice the mount holes on the rings that are
also on the inside edge of the rings, these will be
where I mount brackets that will hold the rooftop
tent cross braces... Just plain sweet...
Sick I need a set for my ARB rack
How did you get the shovel and axe on the same mount.
Did you buy both set and installed it on one? Di you have to get a longer flat piece to get both to fit?
Bandi i hope things start getting easier for your family. you do what have to do. keep strong and take one step at a time.
your fabbed bumpers may be the bomb! and may be marketable???
Bandi. I just ordered the spacers... and i got the same wheel/tire as you... yes yes immitation something flattery or other but i was wondering what lb you torqued the spacers at and then the wheels.... i will be hitting you up more as the tires come in and i get them balanced and mounted to get the perfect on road/off road psi and such... cant wait.. i love your rig... oh and i have a little of you on the back of my rig already.. love the bandimount!!!

The PIG is my newest toy...
A few days ago.
I had to scour dozens of automatics for every manual.
I had to scours dozens of manuals for every low mileage one.
Most low mileage manuals were already outfitted and beat up off road.
And then finding the latest engine version.
I finally found a 2011 with 60k on it. Road...

MY BACKGROUND
I always wanted an FJ since I saw a Voodoo Blue when they first came out. Just thought they were neat looking vehicles but I wasn’t aware of their off-road capabilities. Fast forward a few years and I was in a place financially to buy one. I had been lurking in and learning from...
Hello, a little background on me: The FJ is the first vehicle I've officially owned and I bought it from my dad, 06/19/15 is when I traded in the dirty license plate and was handed a shiny new one. I'm 20 yrs old (as of this post) and attend college for Engineering. I've been hooked on Toyota...
