| ROTWII nmostofi
I am going to go ahead and do my ROTW although I won't be able to answer questions right away. This is going to be my second ROTW, I won't bore you guys with when I bought the 80 and what inspired me to get into Land Cruisers, I covered all of that in my first ROTW. The upgrades that I have done since the last time are :
OME J springs
OME L shocks
Slee SS 4" longer brake lines
Slee front sway bar drop bracket
Slee rear sway bar bracket
Slee front bumstop spacer
Slee rear bumstop spacer
Slee blue bushings
315/75/16 Toyo Open Country MT's
updated 4x4labs rear bumper w/side protection
Iron pig offroad belly skid plate
I am sure I have forgotten something, if it comes to me I will update the list. I put the suspension and tires on my truck a week before Cruise Moab 07, it handled perfectly. I had a small amount of rubbing at full flex, so I think I am going to run a 1.5 spacer upfront. Right now I am running a 1" Mr.gasket spacer and have a bit of the "stink Bug" look. Here are some pics of the truck.

Always appreciated.

| Thanks guys, I am running 863J springs in the rear and 850J springs in the front. I am also running a 1" spacer in the front, the rear sits higher than the front as seen in the pics. Not a big deal but I think eventually I will switch to a 1.5" spacer. The 4x4labs bumper is a piece of art. Very rugged, I beat the crap out of it in Moab, scraped it on rock, had the whole wight of the truck on it a couple of times and it still looks good, a very good buy. I am borrowing the two jerry can holder from Luke until he has my ladder/three jerry can holder ready for pick up, what a nice guy here are some pics of the rear bumper.

| Your rig looks great. Are accessories interchangeable on the 4x4 labs rear? like the ladder and jerry cans?

| yes the accessories are interchangeable on the rear bumper, he calls his system modular. Currently I have a tire carrier and a two jerry can holder. He is making me a ladder which a three can jerry can holder attaches to, pretty cool design. Thanks for the complement Sam I think Luke told me that you and I plus one more person in Colorado has the rear corner panel protection. He says its a pain to make and that the truck needs to be at his shop for him to get it right. KV, thanks yes it was time for new rubber and I didn't want to stick to the 285's so in came the 315's

| thanks fellas, here are some pics of underneath, the Hanna sliders/cat skid-plate got a good workout, not so much the IPOR skid-plate, the last pic is of my exhaust which I had rerouted. Previously the exhaust came out behind the rear passenger side tire. When I stepped up to the 315's it was apparent that it was going to get crushed. I had a muffler shop reroute it to exit right under the rear bumper.
