Nice rig thanks for posting Deryl. I enjoyed talking to him and look forward to seeing his progress. Reminds me I need to send the roster to Lightline he said if I sent him a list with TLCA #'s he give all members on the list a %10 discount he honored it at the Expo for the few things Matt and I bought. Was a nice guy searchers may do the same if he asks.

Here is my new rig. As far as I know this is what it has:
2 1/2 lift
Castor correction
ARB bumper
Warn 12000 winch with specter winch line
2 extra tow hooks on frame front and back
Duel battery trays. 1 has blue top and one is empty
315 Goodyear Wranglers
New door panels throughout
New carpet
New leather interior thoughout(truck smells new)
New woodgrain throughout. Would have rathered silver but oh well
New Sony I-pod ready stereo
This truck was owned by a Toyota dealer. All service and maintence records are in my possesion from the day it was delivered to the states.
Power steering cooler has been replaced and upgraded
New AC compressor/condenser and dryer bottle
Throtle body removed/cleaned new injectors
New 150 amp alternator
Front and rear axle rebuilt

Things I will do:

Take off roof rack
7 pin mod
MAF landtank upgrade
black out emblems
maybe black out rims
Turn the whitewalls in
Custom rear bumper with tire carrier
Take off runing boards when the kids are older

Wife and kids named it Vader
Oh and it has one small rust spot on the back of the truck, like all of my cruisers.

Thanks Scott. I don't know where the carpet came from but I am ready to get it dirty.

Camera sucks

Still waiting for pics of your new rig.

What I swear used to live in here: (his ghost is still visible in this pic)



A little NASA developed adhesive strip used on the air intake:




It's pretty sweet overall and I like it. (Japanese people are short and they don't drink beverages in their vehicles I've learned). The said that she liked it very much. She just didn't know if she liked, "...the periscope".

Looks awesome Scott. Nicest 450 I have seen. I love the rear bumper/tire carrier. I hear the Lexus is much quieter on the inside than the 80's. Mine is very loud with the tires.

Thanks... hadn't heard that about the noise thing but I essentially thought they were the same. I don't find it "loud" but by no means is it quiet either..lol. I was thinking I could hear the "periscope"(as the calls it) in the wind this am.

Not yet... 40 is still my favorite. 80 would have to be next (or #1 WITH air conditioner).


Now, I just need a name. Kids think it looks like a goose w/ the snorkle. So considering "The Goose"

I'm sure Kegley has a say so...

Issac I'm sure its OME 2 1/2 or 3 anything over that you have to start doing very expensive modifications like FRT driveshaft, adjustable panhards, adjustable FRT and RR control arms etc. You can crawl under and look for a tag on the springs if its OME it will have a tag with a spring number unless they cut it off. That'll tell you the load of the springs meduium, heavy and the lift.

Actually your pic was in the right spot and I was going to move his but no big deal it doesn't matter. Marty started the thread as a quick list of the models and rigs in our club but we've not been keeping up with it. We could actually merge both threads and put the list at the top of this thread in the top of the other and attempt it that way.

[quote=PScottBx;3388958]Thanks... hadn't heard that about the noise thing but I essentially thought they were the same.

Yep, they had more sound dampining, softer leather, better sound system.....and I'm sure some more stuff.
