Newbie in Love

[WHITE-OUT]

So I purchased a used 2014 SR5 this past weekend at a dealership. Since all of my friends have Wrangler X or Unlimited I really didn't want to have the same thing. I wanted something better.

What I was told was the SR5 was a trade-in from one of the GMs at the dealership. I was also told it had a 3" suspension lift also. I know I should have done some more research but I figured at the minimal all the work had actually been completed by Toyota.

Anyways I now don't believe I have a suspension lift at all just a leveling kit or something like that. Either way I still love the new truck. It's actually my wife's daily driver. I only get it on the weekend.

Can someone help me out and maybe point me in the right direction to learn more about my lift.

Here are some pictures.

I'm new to forum life and have been to the site almost all week to learn but would love if someone with more experience could point me in the right direction on the type of lift I have.

well the toyotec and the 285 is a dead giveaway that you have a lift, and looking at the side stance I can see that the wheel well gap is bigger than normal. how much I really I cant tell but it looks like 2-3 inch lift.

I figured it was lifted as I have short legs and I have to use the bars to get in. Lucky the wife has long legs and doesn't have an issue getting in. The day after I purchased it I took it to the woods for some trail rides and river crossings. The bottom of my truck never touched the water and my friends where all in it.

I read that I need to do the transfer breather extension so I'll be doing that this weekend.

Congrats on the purchase, enjoy learning/reading about your truck and others on this forum. This is one of the better online forums, just make sure to search first

....Since all of my friends have Wrangler X or Unlimited.....

You need to find you some new friends, preferably with an IQ over 80 unless those Jeeps happen to be built by AEV.

I saw this one listed on Autotrader last week. Was debating calling about it but decided I didn't want something already modified. Glad to hear its all taken care of and in great shape. Enjoy.

Was not one of a finer lines.. but the other side of this pit dented a fellow runners panel so I thought I was taking the lesser of two evils. I made it out but had water in the door. Lucky the weather stripping held up and I didn't get anything inside.

Looks like youve got a tasteful setup there (if thats Toytec). Looks really good
