In the same boat as well here. I actually want to get a similar set up to Jaybird with 275/65's. But in my case I'm just gonna have to wait until next year when I'm at college since my dad is very much against me lifting it.

why?

He wants me to save the value of it, plus he thinks things are going to get broken/screwed up if I lift it. IMO I'll be keeping my runner until it's not worth reselling, and if done right a 2.5-3 inch lift shouldn't be very problematic for the truck.
He is paying for my insurance/it's under his name though. So he kind of has the say in what I do to the truck until I buy the plan from him. @wnelax04sr5

its understandable. honestly unless you buy cheap/crappy parts or install wrong, a lift really doesnt harm anything on the vehicle except your wallet

He still whines about how loud my tires are every time he rides in it though.

Oh and jaybird nice runner I've used it as some inspiration for mine!

hahahahahahaha that had me laughing! My dad loves the way it looks. He just says do what you want but if you break it don't look at me. Plus I bought the car and it's under my name so I've got the majority vote(that's not me saying go against him because I'll always respect his opinion).

@jaybird93000 Saw a 4R in Tuscaloosa today and thought it was you! Same color with a lift and he had the same light rack up front with round lights(I just saw you have a lightbar now) and he even had an Auburn tag on the front but it was an sr5

Hit 100,000 this weekend with Crayc! She's been mine for half of that, and I'm still lovin' every minute of it. I ordered the
Camburg Moog joint UCAs last week; they're on backorder currently. Looking for a little tighter steering, and more precise
alignments, as the past two times I've had them, I've had to return because of poor quality. Planning to do some touchup
on all the blacked out pieces in May, the emblems and wheels are both showing their age... And some new/properly
tinted taillights may follow suit.

Took a tour of the only Mercedes-Benz plant in North America recently. It really is fascinating how controlled and efficient
the current manufacturing processes are. Was able to follow a C400 from sheetmetal to finished product, so that was a
very cool experience. No devices allowed on the tour, but I did snap a few at the museum showcase.

Rear linkage and driveline for the F1. All carbon everything...

Hope all is well with the T4R community

That's good to hear man, hopefully I can catch a glimpse of it next weekend when I stop in.

Thanks! The blacked FJ wheels with the tall DT look great on that white, good pick!
