2" body lift was done 4 years ago when I was planning a 3.4 swap. My 3.0 is running strong and has plenty o power at 223.1. The flares are Bushwhacker and suck on a rock rig. They are like glass when you rub them up against a rock.

She is doing good. I just got done flushing the power steering system and replacing the pump. I switched to Synthetic power steering fluid when I put the Hydro assist ram on per the instructions. Turns out the instructions assume your running an aftermarket high volume pump. Toyota PS pumps call for ATF with Dextron only! My pump starting pissing fluid about 6 mos after switching. I'm going to be upgrading the pump and reservoir soon but needed to get it back on the road. I also put new brake pads on it and rotated the tires. It's always something with this thing it requires a lot of maintenance to keep a rig like this going when you beat on it every weekend. I am driving away in it after my wedding in two weeks so I spent 8 hours yesterday detailing it. It was hard to put that much time into it when I know the first trip out it's gonna get thrashed. It needed a good claybar and coat of wax on it though to protect the paint. I was surprised how well it actually shined up after the wax job. The interior detail was part of the deal of me getting her to go along with driving off in it.... can't be getting that purty dress dirty! It was getting pretty nasty in there....
