CrimsonCountry's '06 SE Build...

[riceandpho]

Nice. I've got the dual post marine version as well. I was worried about the hood height becoming an issue with the posts being so far forward. I may get creative and use one of the larger, flat terminals on the m8 bolt or the Knu Ultimate terminal to relocate the post closer on the main post with their side mount. I'll just have to see how far the factory stretches and what fits.

No fender crack issues from the extra weight? I'm hoping that's due to more offroad use so I should be safe.

no cracks, mines all street anyways, but pot holes here suck a$$.

Ha fair enough. The force from a huge pothole should be a good test. Between the Alt-s diode, bigger alternator and on-board charger, I should be ready to go once I cram it in there.

Been well over a year so need to sit down and update this as I've added lots of random things. Also swapped over to a set of Maxxis Razr AT 285s a few days ago as well. 7nor 8lba lighter per tire and I can certainly feel the difference in acceleratation. The Wildpeaks had been on since 2016 so they were due for a change. Great tires, still had 6/32nds left and my favorite looking AT sidewall. I'll update with a detailed post soon.

I've got some maintenance to knock off soon since the new tires are on.

Diagnose Brakes (pin, pistons, etc?)
Spark plugs
Outer Tie Rods
SuperPro LCAs
Coilovers (rebuild or sell)
ES Ext. Front Bumpstops
Lexus OEM ext. Bumpstops
Front and Rear swaybar ends
Grease Driveshaft
Inspect radiator (found some pink so likely leaking rear diff breather extension
Inspect rear diff seal/gasket (looks wet)

Superpro LCAs and outer tie rods on. Shoutout to Diablo carbide blades for those cam sleeves/bolts! Still waiting on my ES extended front bump stops, Lexus rear bump stops, 2nds gen rear swaybar ends and front swaybar ends to come in before aligning.

Also rigging up a crude aux battery tray in the passenger engine compartment for a spare battery I've got laying around just b/c. Given how much I need it (dont), I couldnt shell out hundreds for an off the shelf solution..or even $140 for the Bison gear version. Should be a fun side project whenever I have some more free time. Basically got a cheap universal tray off Amazon and going to rig up some L-brackets for side support and washers/feet for rear support along with the usual fender bolts.
