I first installed only the rear springs and drove it around like that for about a week. Honestly, the rake wasn't even that bad with only the lift in the rear, and I barely noticed any difference at all in the ride quality (it was not truck like at all). It wasn't until I installed the fronts...
Looks like it's C59-477 (Dobinsons) based on the Exit Offroad website where I bought them. They come in black, too, but the black is not in stock anywhere.

Received 2019 Limited 4WD today, will be the wife's main vehicle. She wants a minor lift (2"-ish) and Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT tires, but that will probably be all we do to this one. It'll be the tamest vehicle we have 😄
Yeah, it's interesting the vapor system's shortcomings over multiple generations of Land Cruiser. While I also get the vapor pressure buildup problem (i.e., "boiling fuel" problem), I think this trapped air makes that boiling fuel situation worse. I suspect that the trapped air is what ends up...
I just finished a 2,784 mile roundtrip, and the subtank and main tank had no problems filling up all the way at every gas station, regardless of how full or empty the gas tank was. I had been having this success for several weeks now, but didn't want to (finally) claim full victory until after I...
Took advantage of the chance to go run Broken Arrow during a family reunion in Flagstaff. This was two of the nephews' first time offroading, and they loved it!
