Haven't posted pics in awhile, here's the latest...

I just swapped in rear Downey coils and put on some LX450 wheels w/ 265/75/16 BFG A/T KO's. I found a place with a haweka adapter and they ride like glass, way better than my old Big-O M/T's. I can tell there is added weight with the wheels and new tires though, my warped rotors have gotten much worse. I'm just waiting on my SS lines to come in, then the tundra upgrade will be going on.

The front is a little high for my taste but once I get the spacer out I think it'll look perfect, I like a little rake. The new suspension setup is 1000x better than my old SAW w/ 891's. I had no additional weight so the ride was very harsh, now it's perfect.

Those are LC center caps, I found a used set of those instead of riding around with Lexus logos. I repainted them, but the color is a bit off. I'll redo it when I have time.

Looks great. We should try to get all the Reno area members together for a run sometime in the spring.

Yeah, that'd be a lot of fun. The Tahoe crew too.

The truck looks great!

I am thinking of pulling my front spacer out as well.

Yeah I love the area, we're surrounded my mountains and Tahoe is just over the hill. I can get on a decent bike trail in a couple of minutes from my house or go skiing in 30.
