kind of.
skyjacker apparently gave the wrong hardware.
the front bushing install the instructions sucked - so we made it up to get it done and im gonna call them tomorrow to see if we did it right - or if the parts they gave me were wrong altogether.
the rear.. they didnt give any of the bushings for the new rear swaybar end links to go in. so im running without the swaybar attached in the rear...
again going to call them tomorrow.

its nice and all i got the first kit they made... but it sucks that the kit didnt have what i needed after we got the truck apart... (everything seemed ok until we went installing it.. we had the right amount of bushings in the correct colors for everything.. just not any of the right stuff after we tried using it - or some of the right stuff.. or whatever)

im just glad i have the 4runner to drive till i figure this all out

and pics before/after and a few install ones when i remembered to grab the camera.. when we werent figuring out the stuff that was wrong in the kit LOL

you get my vote for "shop helper of the year"!!!:grinpimp:

a cute girl
camo outfit
duct tape
..........

what else could you ask for?!


please take all that as a compliment you newbie!:flipoff2:

how come you decided to go with that kit versus the one from OME or other manufacturers?

because its not a spacer kit... and b/c where i work i got it CRAZY cheap :D
and i have the only skyjacker lifted FJ right now :) (well, non skyjacker owned)
LOL
granted they will be shipping kits to customers shortly.

I like the looks of that now. I really don't like them stock, but after they are lifted they are pretty cool. I also like the front bumper.

Welcome Newb......

thanks!

It does look better than stock the duck tape that is, my wife didn't come with that mod. Oh ya the FJC looks good too:grinpimp:

FC187

Are you watchng? I know this is important to you.


OG,
I think you need to explain the duct tape:confused:

i was laying on the ground trying to get the bolts in the bumper to the winch...
and had my feet in the air criss crossed....
and the guys i was wrenching with all day decided it would be funny to duct tape my feet together LOL

YOu must be used to the feeling of being taped up since they got away with it :laughing: :p

lol not so much. i prefer sneak attacks back. they expect me to come after them right after they fawk with me... but next week when its all forgotten about and someones got aired out tires while theyre wrenching on other people stuff - i know nothing ;)

I like your style... :evil:

You guys are missing the big picture here, We have a girl who wears camo, likes 4x4's and does her own wrenching, Are you married? Got a sister? The only thing that can top this is if you have a 4 bay shop somewhere with a bass boat in one of the bays.....
