No Name's 2008 Limited

2008 Limited V6, picked it up in 2010 w/ ~14K miles and I'm currently at 81.7K as of today. Its my daily driver and after running stock XREAS and M/S2's for the past years it was time to for some upgrades (it was starting feel "worn and tired").

My objective was/is to stay "mild" while introducing more durability and capability with low maintenance overhead. Use besides DD: Gets me to trail-heads (MTB), campsites, trout streams and moderate scenic wheelin' in CO, UT, AZ and WY...and "gets me back!" :D

All stock except for the mods in my sig which were installed 3/24/16. Don't have many miles on it yet but...more than satisfied with the on-road handling, ride quality and aesthetic result (looks good to me, kind of a "sleeper" I think, definitely function over form for this rig). Will get it out on trails as soon as reasonable (heavy snows in the hills this past week) and put it through its paces to test off-road improvement.

Based on my overall intended use and driving pattern I ended-up going with all-terrain rubber. Wanted something more aggressive but it just didn't make sense for my needs. I did go with E-rated though and I'm glad I did...and they ride excellent at 45 PSI. The new suspension combined with stiffer sidewalls have this thing feelin' like its on rails. Getting an air compressor kit installed soon so I can be self-sufficient on the trail (and to 'pop' beads on tubeless MTB tires - LOL) and a new battery and that's pretty much it for awhile.

Some pics still wearing winter dirt (will detail it after the snows gone):

You dredged-up my post Luke... :)

My ride’s still kickin’ a** and I plan on hammering it for another ~4 years if not more (sitting at 87.9K today). Completed the following service work this year and it rides/runs solid on road and off.

Coolant service, air filter replaced, spark plugs replaced, cabin filter replaced, 2x tire rotation 1x balance, new battery, lubed (fittings) ‘front to back’ inc d-shafts, power steering flush/fluid, diffs, tranny, xfr (100% synthetics since I’ve owned it), new OEM rotors on all four corners, pads, caliper service, brake fluid flush/replace, CV boots re-clamped, alignment checked out good in July, slapped on TRD radiator and oil filler caps, new Pilkington windshield. Detailed, waxed multiple times…you could eat in the engine compartment…she’s clean as all get out.

pkfj60…tire noise is a non-issue, I’m not too sensitive to that though.

Havoc31… It’s a mild, simple, durable OME setup…I like it a lot. Urban cruisin’ to high-altitude trail-heads…ride and performance is excellent. No UCA’s, my alignment holds true and the driving dynamic is fine. Rides like a tight, well-setup truck, not an AWD SUV or stock 4th gen Runner.

Really clean build, thanks for posting this! I just picked up a black 2007 Limited and was looking for pictures of the Slee Low Lift OME kit + same 18" wheels. Like you, I also didn't want to go overboard with aftermarket parts and modifications so this is perfect.
