After buying

I first wanted to let the engine breath


Then I din't like the stock (shot) Shox

I then replaced this

With this


I then had a catback exhasut made w/ a Dynomax muffler. Letting the little 3RZ breath makes a huge difference. Before I could barley get the engine to rev to redline. Now it's very peppy and free reving. Before w/ 31" tire it would take forever to accelerate going onto the freeway. Now it can scream up the on ramp.

I wanted more stopping power so I got LCE cross drilled rotors and EBC SUV pads. The pic was taken for something else, but u can see part of the rotor.

I then installed a LCE short throw shifter. It is only 1/4" shorter, but has a much shorter throw. While I was at it I installed Redline MT90 into the tranny.
After a while I wanted more clearance, so I installed a Daystar 2.5" lift with BFG AT 33x10.50x15


I had to make a few parts to complete the lift.



I first just bolted the Panhard bracket on, then decided to weld it on, with an upper brace.


I cut the swaybar endlinks in half, then slipped a pipe over them and welded back together making the endlink the proper length for the lift.

I plan on makingbump stop brackets to limit down travel in the front, here is a sketch

The rear end never felt like it was braking properly, and I knew it had something to do with the LSPV. So while rotating the tires I made sure the rear brake shoes were properly adjusted, which they were. So I deceded to lock out the LSPV so that the rears get full pressure. I then test drove it on dry pavement. When I slam on the brakes the rear locks up, but it still drives straight. I even slammed on the brakes starting into a turn and it still felt stable. The big thing is that under normal to hard braking I no longer get front shake and it slows down very evenly.

I flipped my hitch a few months ago. Now I have 3" more of clearance.
