Crux, pretty sure I saw you in Castle Rock today around lunch time. I turned a corner and there you were...may have been a few cars behind me at a light? Anyway, if that was you, your truck looks BADASS! I was in the Black 100 with the Slee'd decal on the back window. Those tires on 18's look sweet!

Holy crap: You finally surfaced! For a second I thought your post was a mirage  .
Keep the 18's and shod them with 285R75 18; You will love them on the 100!

I am actually thinking about going to SnT this year. I've had great success finding take-off Tundra 18" wheels (identical measurements to the LC) on eBay.

My landcruiser didn't have AHC, so I didn't have to worry about that.
I would absolutely do the diff drop. It should help protect your CVs, although sometimes even that doesn't help.
I noticed my passenger side CV is spitting grease after 4wheeling this past weekend.
A couple other issues - the lift has settled a little over the past couple months, so the front tires rub the rear inside wheel a little bit when turning while flexing - mostly an annoyance.
Also I need to adjust the steering wheel bump stops, because the tires rub the frame rail at full turn.
Other than that I still really like the setup!

Your 100 looks great... 
Just curious what all of that cost you? I'll take a stab, and say $4,000?

Hey man, where you been? I thought about selling the 18's but I think I'm going to keep them since this is mainly the wifey's grocery-getter.
I'm running 275/70 18s right now (i.e. 33" x ~11").

any chance of posting a Pic of your 275/ 70 18 's ?
I think the 75's would cause grief after the springs settle post OME lift
thanks

The rear springs are OME 860 - once I get a rear steel bumper, I'll probably upgrade to the heavy duty ones.
I replaced the passenger side leaking CV axle this weekend.
That is a pain in the butt - more difficult than replacing a CV Axle on a 3rd gen 4Runner. On the 4Runner you just have to remove the 4 lower bolts and swing the steering knuckle out of the way.
On the LC you have to separate both the lower and upper ball joints and remove the whole knuckle.
I attempted to just separate the upper ball joint and "see-saw" the CV axle out (leaving the lower ball joint connected - as suggested by another thread), but that didn't work.
Another side note : I hate separating ball joints with inadequate tools (2 jaw pullers, pitman arms, etc). I've already broken a couple cheap harbor freight tools.
I am going to order the SST specifically for these two ball joints.

I'm not sure who the manufacture is but the tool you can rent from VatoZone for free works well.
