Think I had this thing maybe a month before I started tearing into it.

First up was lift and tires: Toytec “ultimate” kit with 255/75/R17 Goodyear Duratracs and Spidertrax. Because wheel spacers are what the cool kids do!



No pics needed really, it’s been documented tons here, but I do remember it entailed trimming the front bumper cover, sawzalling a seized LCA bolt off. Couldn’t press the bushings out and didn’t think the neighbors would be liking me too much if I torched the bushings out, so I put new LCAs on.

Shortly after, I swapped out the dash lights to LEDs, cause 1/2 of them were out anyway. Went with blue backlighting and white indicators, matches the truck nicely.

Wouldn’t have attempted it without these threads:
