Well, I finally found my new project vehicle. A'97 LX 450 w/105k,lockers and the cleanest interior I've seen. It's Champagne pearl which was my second choice to white. I didn't see any reason for a pic as it's still totally stock. I had planned on getting started on the mods right away but Slee is in a state of transition with their 6" lift. From the info I've gathered over the last month, these are my plans so far:
1) 6" slee lift
2) 315's Either Toyos or BFG mud terrains. If the price difference is too great I'll go with the BFG's but I think I'd pefer the Toyos.
3) ARB front bumper
4) Warn M12000 winch
5) 1.25" wheel spacers
6) 4.88 gears (which brand is the best to go with?)
I'll be using this thing for off-roading and camping only. Let me know what you think. I assume when I do the front gears it's gonna turn into the whole axle rebuild thing (brakes?). But the rear should be the same as my 4Runner, pull the axles & driveshaft. Pull the third member and swap the gears? I'll be doing all the mod work myself except setting up the gears. All insight will be greatly appreciated
