LTDSC Build Thread

[LTDSC]

I figured it will be easier to make a build thread instead of blowing up random threads.

When i just purchased it.

2003 Limited 4wd v8 94,000 miles

Ill keep this updated as i do things to it.

you wont need spacers with the methods

It only took a week to take the steps off. I like it much better without the steps. Also quick detailed it.

Buffed, polished and then sealed my headlights and fog lights (hard photo i know)

Purchased a Pioneer AVHP4400BH with XM module and steering controls. Install was really easy and straight forward. I installed the XM module in the rear in place of the factory DVD/NAV. Was a little unnerving to tear it completely apart being so new to me.

Once that was all completed i got this gem in the mail.

I have XREAS and really like the ride so i didnt want to get rid of that for a little height.

Installed

Before:

After:

I looked over craigslist and found a really good deal on 265/70/17 Mickey Thompson MTZs so i jumped on it and got them mounted up. I really love the look. Ill be getting spacers here around Christmas time so thatll help even more.

Wahoo! I'll be sure to keep track now of your mods now. It's lookin' good :thumb3:, I think we'll get some good ideas from each other.

P.S. The tires look great, they'll look real nice with some Methods!

To be honest, I love my OLW 2.5" kit and it feels a little better than my XREAS did on road, so I wouldn't be afraid of ditching it for some extra height as long as you get a good lift with some stiffer springs.

Looks great! keep up the work!

Yeah, ive been debating between the Bilstein adjustables and a coilover kit. I just really like the ride of the XREAS so i dont want a stiff ride. I have had great success with Bilstein's too so im a little biased.

Thanks.

Very nice work! Can you tell me how you sealed your headlights? I'm about to attempt to seal and polish mine too.

i used Adams Quick Sealant. I also use it on my paint and wheels as well. Its aerosol and uses very little. Once i polished the headlights i sealed them and they are good for 6+ months. I love this stuff. Best "top" safeguard for everything i have.

You can use any wax technically once you polish.

Bought and installed an LED "pack". Does all the interior lights that's not a dash light. I'm impressed. Incredibly bright and easy install. Took about 10 min total.

Haven't gotten a pic of the door lights and cargo light but you get the idea.

Looks good. Was the pack from PFRAN?

I really like them a lot they have a slight hum at Highway speeds but I really like them. They were great in the sand on my last truck.

That's awesome! I like how aggressive they look, and they look great on your Runner.

Terrible quality but none the less
