I needed a little more protection for my lower control arms so after work today I stopped by Rozzo Fabrication in Lake Hopatcong to see Paul and he installed a set of lower control arm skids for me. He does all types of fab work and its quality work at a fair price. http://rozzofabrication.com/



I even got a cool sticker

I got a few more things done in the past few weeks.
I installed the H.D Offroad shackle relocation boxes in the rear along with a set of grease-able .75" shackles. I would say a definite improvement in ride on the street and the rear end flexes and works as it should with the improved shackle angle.
Here it is with the rear bumper removed to access the old nut-strips. I installed new nut-strips I got from JCR Offroad.

Here is the stock shackle in its stock location.

And here is the new relocated .75 grease able shackle.


I also had some transmission shifting issues not to long ago and the CEL came on a few times for the shift solenoids so I ended up ordering a full set of A340 Toyota solenoids to replace the old faulty ones as well as a filter kit and a new 10000BTU trans cooler. I did a full flush on the old trans oil and replaced it with some new DexIII. Sorry no pics of the cooler. The cooler mounted in front of the radiator and I plumbed it in line with the stock cooler in the radiator.
Here is the AW4 with the pan dropped. You can see the old solenoids above the filter with the yellow and white wire leads and reddish connectors and the one behind the filter as well with the black lead.

New filter and new solenoids

Now no more CEL issues and she shifts smoother than ever.
