I just recently painted one and didnt do the jams and such as you did. But I do know how much effort it took to do all that you did and it is a workout. Great job. It is looking great and doing it yourself is really rewarding.

Well sorry guys, the stripe guy keeps bailing on me so I dont have any pictures. Gonna order some stuff tonight. I was hoping I could get some advice on lifting my runner... After doing some searching and asking some local yota people, I think Ive come to a conclusion.. Heres what I would like to do.. Im thinking about getting the trail-gear 3" classic lift for the front and putting chevy 63's in the rear... One other thing I was looking at was possibly boomerang shackles... not sure on the shackles though but the lift im almost %80 percent on... Let me know what ya guys think!!!

beautiful truck, good work! everyone's got there own opinion on lifts, so all i can offer is my own: the chevy rears are a good cheap option but if i were to do it again i would get some alcan's. they're based out of colorado and seem to give a great ride at a good price. they also have an option for orbit-eye's if you want some serous flex. if you do go with the chevy's though i'd recommend buying some new replacement packs. i bought some out of a junkyard and they don't have much arc left in them. And for the front, i am VERY happy with my "ruf" springs.
