Longboy74's Lux build

Gday guys
New to the group and thought id add a few pics of my build. Got p1ssed off with the Jeep renegade and went back to a reliable Lux. She's a 2012 SR5 D4D with 80k on the clock and never been offroad ha ha ha.
Added some OME 2' spring and shocks with 35 mm spacer up front and 2" extended greasable shackles in rear.
Found some GU patrol 16x8 rims and threw on some Westlake 265/75-16's. Fit absolutely perfect with no contact anywhere and fit within the guards.
Next is a diff drop kit to give the CV's a fighting chance and a good set of body armour. Car is used up in the mountains on long distance shooting trials and hunting trips and can get rocky.
Then save up some funds to change out the bulbar, add some sliders and a new rear bar.
Did the rear seat mod (awesome mod) and added a snorkel and K&N filter.
Plenty of things to spend money on yet lol :D

Image Welcome to the forum Longboy :D sweet looking Hilux. Be careful running those 35mm spacers up the front, they can cause plenty of grief.

Have a read of this thread http://www.newhilux.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=5959
