Hi Kaney and welcome. Your prado looks good. Did you have to make any changes to the steering with that lift?

i had to get the castor arms bent to allow for the lift but other than that there was just brake line extentions. and yea the prado is going good (well better than my old hilux anyway) its just a bit under powered (thats the next mod- lexus v8 or holden v6)..

...footy... grummmble...should have won....grumble... lol
