First came the light bar. Pulled it off my 94 before I sold it.

Next we're the 255/85's. Still running no lift. Tundra/LC lift is in the works.

Then the winch bumper started to take shape. Brad at BAMetalFab did a fantastic job and kept me updated the entire time with pictures to make sure everything turned out right.

Next I went with a full LED conversion, and added some accent lights, just because I can

Went up and ran some trails at Windrock Park in Oliver Springs in November. Got some good pics, and let the gf wheel for the first time driving.

Lift has officially been purchased.

Front - Eibach front springs with Bilstein 5100 shocks
Rear - Lexus LX450 rear springs on new fj80 stock shocks

This will give me about 3" in the front and 4" in the rear.

Also ordered a new rocker switch and harness for my rock lights. Once that comes in I will be able to wire them up and get them installed this weekend.

Got the lift installed last night. Took about 4 1/2 with a dinner break in there.

Forgot to take measurements but its higher haha. The best thing I have noticed so far is the stiffness of the coils. Much better than my 235k mile worn out shocks and coils I previously had on.

Went to my buddies today to test it out in his ditch. This is just as the rear was beginning to slip on the leaves. Both sway bars still attached as well.

So boredom ensued, and today I got my rock lights installed. I got them from a place called www.under-glow.com and got a great deal. Each light is a 4 pod LED on a flat surface so it is very low profile. It is coated in a waterproof sealant and disperses a great amount of light.

Very simple process. 2 wires in, 2 wires out. Adhesive tape on the back that is CRAZY strong. I messed up one of the lights and had to use a screwdriver and a hammer to get it off.

These things come in a set of 20 for $25, and for that price, I couldn't say no.

I have 1 on the front body mounts on either side, one in the front, one on either side of the crossmember, 1 on each body mount on the sides of the frames, 1 on the frame on each side, one on each rear body mount, and one directly above the rear axle.

Onto the pics.

If you'd like more info give them a shout. www.under-glow.com. Also, they have different colors if you'd like to go a little crazy with it. Great customer service and I got mine in less than a week after ordering.
