Any time I think about selling mine, I come to this thread for a good kick in the nuts.

@Big Blue Do you mind measuring if this setup is over 7ft? Would like to do eibachs +37's but need to be under 7ft tall at the highest point for a parking garage.

Your safe; 6' 9" from floor to top of roof.

I have not. I decided to hold off on the blower for now and got a JDM tune/CAI for the time being.

How is the tune / CAI dealing with the 37s? (vs a whipple). JDM are right up the road from me and did most of the work on my (just sold) Gen 2. I’ve started thinking a Gen 1 SC done by then will be the next move and your truck just looks the business.

Great, they called me when I ordered the tune to confirm everything and I told them about the 37s which they incorporated into it, so my Speedometer is spot on. Just like my Gen 2 I was very specific when shopping for 37s as rotating mass is your biggest enemy, not size. The 37" Cooper Discoverer STT Pro is 1 lbs lighter per tire than the 35" Toyos I had on my original Gen 1. If I was local I would definitely have JDM do the Whipple install. They have a long history and impeccable reputation.

Alright @Big Blue , thank you for the inspiration. Eibach's, Deavers SD+3's, and 37's. I love it!

Happy Front End Friday!

Looks great.

Ford really did a great job on the Gen 1 design. Timeless exterior.

Somehow missed this thread along the way. Great score @Big Blue . I am on BAT all the time also. Recently picked up a 50k mile 2011 FJ TT from there. On the hunt for the next toy.
