Lift kit and 33: Installed

Thanks Chris (tofer) and Gabe for the help
I still need rear shocks, NEW driver side CV boot, front end alignment, and to install the camary afm, but here are some updated pix for you guys.
BEFORE




AFTER
ISR MOD and KN intake = waste of money. their is very little power difference, i can tell its their, but only just. The 3.sloiw is just that, DONTtry to make it faster.




The lift, 1.5" BJ spacers and FJ80 Crusier Coils

Autozone, Rather then drilling and taping holes in the isr, i just put those on, gotta be careful if you go mudding, but i try to stay out of mud pits anyways

Just fyi, the TG bumpers block the projection of your headlights, and that may be illegal in your state.

yer tires are all \-/ , definately get an alignment before you go driving around and ruin those new tires

looks great though man!

you trust that shackel on the factory hoop on the frame? that's some rather thin metal; don't try to pull on it at an angle you should invest into some of sodori's bolt-on shackel mounts

also, I see the BFG MT's, but what's that front-right tire?

Hey man, looks great! I just did coil spacers and t-bar crank until I get bj spacers. Any clearance issues with the 33's? Doesn't look like it, but thinking about sizing up, can't make up my mind!

Also, have you noticed any reduced speed as the result of bigger tires or a hurt in MPG?

Your passenger front tire looks like it has a birth defect compared to the others.

Your truck is legitimately my favorite 2nd gen of all time. It's so simple, yet so gorgeous.

What year FJ80 Crusier Coils, and what is your TOTAL overall lift over stock? You said that you didn't touch your T-bars.....
