Kyojin's 2002 WJ family offroader

I like it. It turned out very clean.

 

[kyojin]

Haha thanks. It was embarassing to drive it around in that condition.

I saw this driving around with the flares and stock tires and said what the hell? Lookin good now.

Thanks Tacoma. I used your pictures as a reference putting my Spartan locker in today. I'm surprised how loud it is compare to the lockrites I've had before. It seems to unload and pop a lot more. I've heard they get quieter over time.

that looks pretty rad. I love it!

I know a few guys who run the Spartan in their 44a and it does quiet down after break-in, but the 44a tends to make more gear noise overall compared to the standard 44. What weight gear oil are you running?

I was running some 85W90. I switched out to some 80w140 and it seems to have helped quite a bit.

Here are a few poser pics to see how long I need to extend my bumpstops.







Tires seem to stuff really well in there.

I see what you mean about needing to trim some off the rear bumper!:-\ Looks like it's just touching, but a good fit overall!!

I really like the LCG, big tire look!:thumbs: I think that down travel is more benificial than up travel for traction & that looks like plenty of articulation to me!!:greg:

Looking good!

Awesome! Super easy install, right? I ran across a green clone of your rig up here in Vernal, which kind of freaked me out. Stance is perfect on both! I dig it.

Wow I like the way that sits! Maybe I will get some Iceland flares and shorter springs for mine!

I am also running Spartans front and rear, seem a little louder than lock rights for sure. Think after I get to the 500 mile break-in mark for my new gears I will switch to 140 instead of 90w.

 

[kyojin]

Yep very easy. Those little retaining wires are a great idea. Get everything lined up, pull them out and they click into place. Now I need to see this Green clone in person

I tried to go with a 35" tire with the least amount of lift. The Iceland flares work great and make the vehicle look different.

My rear has quieted down quite a bit and doesn't seem to pop/unload as much. I changed over to 140 and it made a difference.
