2006 LX470: From Elation to Deflation- I need some help

Update: I took 6 turns out of the driver side TB, and 9 turns out of the passenger side TB. It certainly rides MUCH better, and the turning issue seems to be fixed. Im sitting at ~21.5” on both sides. Will plan to drive it for the next week and then reset it again to 21.5.

A few answers to questions that have been asked:

- the CVs were rebuilt and recertified here in Houston. Lifetime guarantee btw, if anyone needs CVs rebuilt vs purchasing new.

- the center locker is not locked, however just to confirm, I did go ahead and hit it yesterday. That is definitely a different feeling than what I feel. That’s a “don’t pass go”, feeling. Lights illuminated as expected.

- the “wheeless trailer” or basket as I call it. This thing has gotten more attention than the cruiser, tbh. Everyone loves it. I purchased it from Buccees a few years ago, built by Old Timer BBQ here in Texas. That thing is extremely sturdy. Way bigger than ones you buy at academy, strong enough to hold the LX in the air on big drops, and I believe I paid $130 for it. I have attached a few more pics, highly recommend this setup. Bonus pic of the old YJ out in West Tx. I ended up adding a front receiver as well, for the same reason.

It has also allowed us to put coolers up front for long trips, opening up the back end significantly.

Glad it’s moving forward!
 
good looking rig. I'm in the houston area as well, but have been doing all the work on mine myself, so unfortunately no recommendations on shops in the area (though I'm happy to get recommendations on places that are reliable)
