Hi All,
Have been around the forum for some time now and have always wanted to start my build thread but have kept putting off due to time. Well I found myself with some time so here it goes - first time trying to post photos.
Unfortunately I do not have any real before photos that I can find
The lux currently has:
Core Upgrades:
- 3 to 4" Bilstein front struts with top dog HD springs
- Rear RockCrawler springs: Carrying constant 300kg to GVM.
- Rear lift block to level car
- Allied 16x7 wheels
- 265/75 Baja Radial MTZ (Mickey Thompson - of course)
- chip-it performance module
- Sprint booster
Mods:
- Key beeper
- Power to windows constant
- Seat belt beeper (hate beepers!!)
- Rear seat fold down - what a great mod!
Suspension upgrade as it happened:
CV angle - seemed fairly extreme in my view:
Then all back together with stock sr5 wheels:
Was also evident that front was slightly nose up which, while trying to level out my truck, was not my desired look... So some rear lift blocks were installed:
Now for tyres - really wanted to go big (33") but was just too nervous about chopping etc so went for 265/75 (for now!!!)
Now as we all do when we add a suspension kit and wheels...... we find some unsuspecting hilux owner to park next to so we can get a sense for the height gained - mmaaxx you recognise the background - where better to find a hilux than Bunnings (Taylors Lakes)
Well that's where I am at - bullbar and snorkel are next but still not sure which bar to go for.
