PIcked up my 2011 sr5 lux in march as an ex demo and been pretty slack since i got it, had rustproofing and a tub liner put in when i first got it.
7 months later finally got a lift, tyres, bullbar, uhf and spotties

Got an EFS 2" kit with medium load front springs and efs elite struts, medium load rear springs and shocks
tyres are Kuhmo kl71 265/75r16 and wheels are 16x8 black sunnies with 0 offset, had to cut a bit out of the front flare so it wouldnt scrub and got a heat gun and re moulded the plastic up inside the wheel arch and bent the mud gaurds a bit.
Bull bar is an MCC 007-02 in black. My mate is going to wire up the foglights, spotties and uhf tomorrow.
Spotties are lightforce 240 blitz and picked up a uniden uhf and aerial on ebay

the day i got it

Looking tough!! Any chance of throwing up some pictures of the alterations you made to the flares?

Be interested to see how you did it

I was under the impression you had made alterations to allow for your tires.

yeah only minor ones, and only to the front part of the flare thats attached to the front bumper. so now that the bullbar is on it doesnt matter anyway, and for the mudgaurd on the back of the front wheel arch i just heated it up with a heatgun and moulded it back further
