    FINALLY! Today is TIRE DAY! Woot! These are the "next generation" MPT81s. Not sure exactly what the difference is, neither does the tire shop, nor did Contintenal when we called them while at said tire shop, other than the new/odd little grid graphic things between the lettering. We found...

    NICE! What did you order exactly?? Yeah, i have SuspensionMaxx' first actual kit, and am doing the testing, install tips, and trial and error for them. If interested, call and talk to LARRY there, he's been amazing through the whole thing. Tell him i sent you, and told you to ask for him...

    Buckstop makes top notch stuff, and i have ordered their wheels, bumper, steps and skid plate. For the suspension though... I went with SuspensionMaxx for a few reasons: -Adjust-ability, the adjustable upper arms will make a world of difference when aligning the vehicle during all the...

    Thoughts....on what to do.

    I've owned one of literally every Land Cruiser made except for a FJ55 and the FJ60 was the only one i had zero regrets selling and didnt care for. Get the $ well you can!

    Not 100% sure yet, but most likely ADS 3" smooth bodies. Their service, turn around time, and products are some of the best i've seen. The 2.5s they setup for my Tundra were simply magical. The rear will be easy, standard eyelet stuff with nothing in the way anywhere. Front will be a bit...

    Thanks! Yeah, most of the clips came out easily, a couple broke, that’s fine, I’m not reusing them :) The turn radius actually blew me away. I knew it would be pretty good. But it’s almost half what my Tundra was! With no weight on it, the brakes are pretty annoying, I’ve already almost...

    Won't be installing lockers. 1) They dont make anything for the 5500 yet 2) I don't see them being all that effective for my needs/uses on a priority scale, much more functional, more often used things to do first. Will i add them at some point? Possibly, if my needs change. But it would be...

    Warn 16.5. It’s sitting in my living room now and will be used to design and build the rear bumper/subframe and then it will be moved to the front and the rear winch will be added later down the road. Low priority at this point, but I want the rear bumper designed for one. It’s a bit tricky...

    New Grill up top, stock SLT grill on bottom. The front camera (under the A) will be relocated to a better spot anyway to clear the Buckstop bumper
