Looks very very good. Does running this lift spindles make the dust covers for the brakes unusable? Also, how much close is the outboard cv to the lca with that setup? Love to see a few pics.

Thanks! The dust covers can't really be used because the hub mounting surface has a different (beefier) outer profile. These spindles are only for RWDs like mine, so no issues with CV angles or anything.

Ahh good point. That makes sense.

Looks good ! But I gotta ask, how have you only put 11,000 miles on it in 2 years !?

Haha, partly because I was only 2 miles away from the high school back home. After graduating in May, I've put ~5,000 miles on it.

Although now that you mention it, something seems off. I'll have to take a look at some of my service records to confirm my initial mileage.

Picked up a JDM Hilux "High Spirit" grille off of [MENTION=59048]S p a r k y[/MENTION] today. Got some big things planned for it:

• Outer surfaces refinished and painted natural white
• Raptor style mesh and Toyota lettering
• Raptor style amber grille LEDs

 

[S p a r k y]

I got it from [MENTION=165]momo.75[/MENTION] I never really got the chance to work on it, I know you will make it look great!

 

[Inv4drZm]

I'm interest to see how it turns out too. The raptor style grille LEDs sound interesting.

 

[TiN]

With the mesh grille complete, I figured I'd add some pictures to this thread.

My internet was slow updating that first grille picture, and it slowly changed to the Raptor over the course of 30 sec. I stared the whole time and was like; WTF?!!

Love the build man, looks great. So just a question. Since you installed the Bilstein 5100s im guessing you did not purchase any type of lift kit?
