esrice's Build Thread

I remember my first wheeling trip, got stuck just like you but I was an idiot and alone, you were lucky to have friends, even though they had jeeps.

Love the red
 
UPDATE 2016

Lift has been ordered!

I decided to go with a 3" Toytec/Bilstein full kit. It seemed like a great mid-priced kit that should suit my needs well.

Will update!
 
Lift kit is here!

UPDATE

Well, now she's lifted.

On the advice of my offroading buddy (the Toyota mechanic who installed the lift) I saved my pennies a little bit longer and added SPC adjustable UCAs to the kit. It still needs an alignment, but I'm glad I went in that direction.

Junk.

And a little before/after.

Now I need some 285s. The sickness continues . . . .

Who loves family hand-me-downs? I do!

My Dad bought a new trailer so he gave me his old one. I'll use it for the riding lawnmower, the kids' go kart, and trips to the hardware store.

I also decided to throw the front bumper guard back on for a while. But I have been perusing the plate bumper threads lately . . . .

Tomorrow I'll be getting a post-lift alignment. Fingers crossed that they know what they're doing!

How's the ride feel since you put on the kit? I've been looking at the same kit and have been wondering.
 
WOW!!! What a transformation. Congrats on your Craigslist come-ups. I recently got an ARB 63qt F/F w/cooler bag for $750! Gotta love the CL. Anyways, way to go and I cannot wait to see what you do next...no pressure!
 
I should really update this more often, lol.
