Just an update, ordered my 3 inch turbo back exhaust from Sterling so should arrive Friday hopefully, and hopefully am able to contact Cal Offroad today to organise a 3 inch lift, then pick up an ARB compressor later on the week and install it.

Finished off my wiring for my spotties and LED tub lights (the LED Lights are awesome such a clean white light), only thing having trouble with the IPF wiring kit and toyota's being negativley switched, should sort it out by the weekend, Now just to contact BUDs and see if we can organse a front tube bar and sliders

I did the bodylift over two nights after work, first i lifted the tub about an hour tops, and then did the body the day after, hardest part was the Steering extension and trying to line it up, All up prob about 3 hours.

Maybe with a Body lift aswell, the kit from VMN is top notch, im running a 3inch lift and bodylift and the front still scrubs under full turning, still have to trim the inner gaurds and probably the body mount

There 16x8 0 Offset, and only just scrub on full lock, but if you trim your inner gaurd and flare if will clear and maybe trim the body mount, i havent really worried about mine yet though, might trim them up tomorrow.

Hi mate, lovin the look of your lux! I'm new to this site as i've just purchased a new 2010 3.0 lux double cab, however i've also purchased an OME suspension lift which runs at about 2.5" lift. I really want to put larger tyres with new rims on it but not really sure what i can put on without getting it to rub. Ideally i'd lile to throw on some 285/75/16's but i dunno if thats a bit much? I've got a MK2 87 lux runnin massive tyres and a 6" lift so i can get pretty much any damn trye i want on that, but i'm a complete novice with the new ones. Any advice?
im changing the rear leafs shocks and front shocks n coils, also got a Arb front bumper waiting to go on too...

any advice from you guys would be much appreciated!

Sunny
