Well I found a really good deal on some 33x12.5 pro comp mud terrains on craigslist. So I decided to order the stuff to lift the rear. I just went with a basic daystar coil spacer kit. Of everything works out and I like the height I will eventually upgrade to ome springs.
This will most likely be the last things I do to the suspension for a little while however. I need to address some maintenance things first. *Valve cover gaskets
My son was so excited about the new tires. He hopped in the first one and wanted me to put the others on top. He basically didn't want to leave lol.(sorry for the sideways photo, I'll fix when I get back on my computer.)
I also contacted a local guy about an elocker he has for sale.

Well I tried to get those tires put on and as expected I need some spacers for the front. So I am going to try and sell some stuff I have to compensate.
I was feeling patriotic so I threw my old unit patch on the dash. I will probably move it around until I find a place I like.

Got the daystar 1.5" rear spacers on. I am definitely liking the look a lot more now. These rigs just look better when the are leveled out or a slight rake. And that is coming from a guy who loves reverse rake.
I am holding off on the 33s until I can find some spacers for a good deal. I know it's a long shot but I am hoping some pop up on craigslist or on the classifieds here.
As far as the ride goes it rides great still. It's definitely not a caddy but as far as lifted trucks goes it rides really well. Absolutely no complaints. :dance:

Well I ended up selling the t4r and picked this little thing up.
Very cool. What year? How does the ride quality and power compare to the 4runner? I mean I know the LC has more power, but as far as acceleration, cruising on the highway, going up hills, etc.

It's a 97 lexus lx450
220K+- miles
6 cd changer
Ice Cold AC
Aussie locker rear locker
Center diff locker with switch
TJM 2.5 lift heavy lift
TJM Shocks
New 33" Hankook mud terrain tires(5) less than 1000 miles
Trail Gear front diff armor
ARB full size mesh floor roof rack
Custom rear bumper with dual swing outs
New radiator, new belts and hoses
PHH done with silicone hoses
All fluids and filters changed
100 series brake pads in front
Front bumper modified for clearance
Nice leather except one rear seat has a seem splitting
Husky Liner mats all 3 rows.
The ride is surprisingly good
It might have more power but it also weighs a ton more, literally it ways 2k more pounds lol
I drove it 110 miles from Tucson to Mesa and it never missed a beat. Had the ac blasting and it was great.
The guy took me for a ride and we went up a steep rocky hill and it basically idled up the hill without spinning a tire.
I am very happy with it

Very nice. It's a tank for sure. Had a 91 fully armored and it sucks gas. That's pretty much the only thing sucked about the truck. It will get you from A to B in a heartbeat. Good luck.

Sad to see the 4Runner go, but that is a great LC to take its spot. Congrats!
