Body Damage is Cool
I've got some new Old man Emu add a leafs for Toyota rears if you want them to rebuild your stock springs. Might lift your rear an inch or so,should still be able to use the stock shocks.

Ended up installing full leafpacks on the 4Runner so I never used them. Have the shackles and urethane shackle bushings as well.

Just installed OME leafs,springs and shocks on the XJ last weekend so I'm ending up with alot of spare springs laying around.

Well, eventually I'll probably end up going with the OME or NWOR leafs.


You might want to do some research on NWOR, they have a dismal customer service reputation on the boards. They're known as No Warranty Or Returns.

If you have to ask about a SAS, you're not ready for it.

Getting the Wheeling Fever
[quote]AAV ????

or

AAP ???

I've got EFI so AAV (aux air valve) my idle just doesn't know what to do. It's not a vacuum leak cause if I hit the throttle, it goes back down to 900 or so. But when I stop at a light or something it sits at 1,200.

Yikes, thanks Robinhood! I'm a newb to the 4x4 scene, been into cars all my life but just getting into trucks so I'm learning the ropes as I go.
I definately appreciate all the info.

Thanks Seattlegti, I'll probably just redo the whole thing sometime this winter, but I'll definately keep this in mind.

Cool. My AAV has never worked either. AAV adds more air when the motor is cold to control the higher idle speed 'till she warms up. Your problem is an easy fix. Clean the back of the butterfly in your throttle body. Check and/or adjust your TPS, then lower your idle a little bit. That will keep your idle RPM's happy. Mine occasionally did the same thing after I came to a stop. Have fun!
