Lifted, Locked, Geared, and Wet (with pics)

So I completed my lift, locking, gearing, etc about a month ago. All I can say is I am so happy with my truck. I'd like to thank all those at yotatech that helped me pick out parts and answer questions, especially, seaflea... I'm sure you got tired of all the questions. For those who don't know, I took a stock 87 4Runner and turned it into a fun machine. It got a ProComp Stage II lift, Procomp shocks, Downey 3" rear lift springs, Procomp Extreme Alloy 1869 Rims, Firestone Destination M/T 33X12.50s, MarlinCrawler rear 3rd with 4.88's and a Detriot locker, a Randy's Ring and Pinion front 3rd with 4.88's, new upper and lower ball joints, new lower control arm bushings, and new outer tie rods. Total lift was 7" in the front and 8" in the rear over stock (tires included). Here is a link to pics of it:

The yoda directory is pics of it back in the stock days...

The adventure1 directory is my first time out after the lift, just checking things out...

The pond 46in directory is some of the pictures taken today at my buddy's property. It forded 46" of water and mud, no problem, (mostly water).

As of yet, I haven't got it stuck, but I'm still tryin...

Thanks again to all that helped with questions, and feel free to post what you think of the ride!
