Hey y'all, I've been on here for the past few months asking questions, and even though I'm not even remotely close to being done, just wanted to go ahead and share what I've got.
I got this 04 V8 back in November with 80k(boy I was happy to find something under 100k)
The first thing i did was replace the stock rims with some 16in steelies I got off Amazon. They were pretty cheap but had good reviews (and I sold the original rim for more than double what I bought the new ones) The rims are wrapped with Thunderer Thunderer MTs at 265/75r16
For the suspension, I went with Billsteins and OMEs. 886 up front and 896 in the rear. Also upgraded the UCA to JBAs(no uniball for me)
And on the front, got an ARB bumper
Next will be new skids, a rear bumper with a swing out carrier (really enjoyed having it on my old crv) and eventually the exhaust. I also do wanna replace the roof rack, but it's not vital for anything other than aesthetics
UPDATE
Kinda blew the tcase, doing a RST twin-stick swap within the next few weeks
UPDATE
Gotta FJ tcase swapped in with Front Range Off-road twin sticks. Didn't do the front end, and still working on some wiring. Pic im posting isnt the end result, but needed to be able to drive to north Florida this weekend
