Pics after LC coil and 1" BL install

OK guys after working on my junk all last week I finally got to test it out at URE Nat. Forest yesterday. I don't have any wheeling pics at all since it was pooring rain the entire time and super nasty muddy. I hate mud!! I think it done well overall. I also installed a 1" 4Crawler BL and a rear lock rite. I would highly reccomend all of these mods especially the locker it performs great offroad and I personally can't even tell I have it on the highway. I will include a little before and after for ya! It still has a long way to go but it all takes time and well $$$$$$.

When I bought it back in March 06


How it sits today



It has a little more rake in the rear in the rear than I was looking for but I am hoping it will settle some after next weekend at Tellico

Wow looks great!
I especially like how the whole truck looks on an overcast day better.

Yeah it looks really nice. Im sure it preforms well too.

I think your best mod are definetly the TRD stickers. They add a lot of HP and really help for offroading. I have some, and it was like night and day!

yeah, it looks great, the lc's do a good job of lifting the rear up a bit and I like the additional 1" BL you have in there, I am debating on the 1" myself, enough that each of my slider mounting points are gonna have additional holes 1" above ... with the lift I have and 285's mine just looks so stock though, the way it shoulda came from the factory

Wow dude, lookin' good, what size spacers do you have up front? Also, how was the hit on power when you went up to 285s? I'm thinking 285s next, but I do not want to re-gear. Sharp looking, I beat myself up everyday for not buying a black truck.

Thanks man. I am running 1/4 wheel spacers all the way around and I noticed little to no power loss from the 285's. I feel like I have plenty of power but I don't expect a whole lot out of a 6-cylinder.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Next on the mod list is a front bumper and winch then hopefully a rear bumper and full skids. I hope to be able to order the bumper next month and I have already ordered my winch (Warn 9.5xp).

Nice setup. I think 3rd Gens look awesome lifted. The newer rims really help it stand out
