Picked up my Charcoal Grey SR5 dual cab last November and now have a few plans with it.

Firstly I am getting the DC Torque 16"x8" wheels with the MT A/T 265/75/16 Baja ATZ Radials.

Next will be the Caloffroad lift kit (kit with the Bilstiens), (I think 3" lift).

Then a ARB Safari bull bar colour coded to body.

Will post up picks of each stage.

Alright my old car is sold, which has freed me up to go ahead with the lift kit and new rims & tyres, going in next week, I put some photos up to show you guys how it looks, then off to Stockton for a test run.

Just picked up my car from getting the Cal Offroad 3" lift kit & diff drop kit and MT ATZ 265/65/16 tyres, DC Torque rims 16x8, very happy how it goes, much better to drive, less roll than before, a little firmer but not enough to worry me.

Rear springs/shocks etc

Diff drop kit

Front strut

As I noticed on some other threads I have to cut a little bit of the inside of the front guard, just scrubs and with the alignment, max castor they could get was 1deg, seems to drive fine (no wandering).

Standing tall Wade, nice. Looks like the young fella will need a boost up.

Looking very nice there mate....

They should be able to get a little more castor...my guy got 1 1/2 deg on mine and ive got no scrubbing on 33's with -12 offset rim.

Cheers.

Interesting cracka, I think my rims are 0 offset, spoke to Cal (CalOffroad) and he said that was the right offset.

How much lift do you have?

When I finally get the ARb bar it will eliminate the scrubbing.
