How long have those Icon delta joints lasted for you?

I’ve had em on for 3 years, no issues yet. Planning to get rid of em soon.

That seems like a pretty long life.
What arms are you changing to?

I’ve been wanting to put a set of Mastercraft Baja RS or reclining Corbeau seats like you have in my 3rd gen 4Runner, but I’ve always wondered if the lower lumbar area is more comfortable on these seats than the factory ones. How are road trips 2+ hours at a time in those Corbeau seats?

theyre pretty comfy on long trips, i would definetely opt for the inflatable lumbar shit which i didnt get

Ditched the beadlocks/mud terrains for a smaller/lighter wheel and tire combo. Very happy with my decision

My Robby Gordon faux beadlocks and 35’s are a major strain for this 3.4 with 183 HP stock and I’ve considered downsizing the tire size to 285/75/17 or a slightly narrower 34x10.5x17 to save some weight and get a little power back. I can’t bring myself to switch to a lighter wheel to save weight though lol. What are the specs for the new setup? Those look like 1990’s AR Outlaw II wheels to me.

 

[alec]

Rear shocks/hoops in. along with eibach springs, an extended brakeline and limit straps. kept the factory bumpstops
