I put the 30 inch magnaflo on recently. It sounds just like stock.

After hearing yours I really wish I had put on the 18 or 24"

Did removing the resonator make a significantly noticeable difference?

 

[92LXAZ]

Yes removing the resonator made all the difference in the world. I didn't have the shop do it at first and the second my wife started it up I knew I should have. Took it in the very next weekend to have it done.

Rock Warrior's complete, thread here

My Rock Warrior wheel journey

And a pic for good measure.

What do your tires actually measure. I looked them up online but I feel like they look bigger than 32.6

 

[92LXAZ]

I did a quick measure after they were mounted on the wheels but before install and they were 32". That was an eyeball with the tape measure and I they put in 35 psi.

The slowness moves steadily on. A year and a half of ownership and loving it. Picked up some Weathertech All-weather mats. Fronts fit perfect. Trimmed up the rear and will do fine. Extra LED in the 80 lift gate made the night work easy.

Also moving forward with the AHC lift. Last year had the torsion bars cranked and finally adjusted both front and rear sensors to the top. Picked up some 80 rear coil spacers from Manafre and hoping to get those on soon.

Where did you get the weathertech mats? i haven't seen the full rear mats except the expensive custom fit ones. The weathertech adaptable ones ive seen are just small mats that dont cover the middle of the rear floor

 

[neckbone]

Man, those tires and wheels make that truck, and I'm usually not a fan of aftermarket rims. Nice choice. That may be on my to do list now.

@neckbone Got them from Weathertech 2006 Lexus LX | All-Weather Car Mats - WeatherTech All Season Mats | WeatherTech.com The middle row is actually two separate pieces. They don't stay in perfect place all the time but I didn't want custom fit either. Overall satisfied with them. Fronts fit perfect

Thanks on the wheels. Definitely changes the attitude of the rig and mine when I drive it! Technically they aren't after market, still Toyota OEM .

Another little addition. Got a great deal on this Thule Atlantis 1600XT on CL. Will help a ton for our trips since the ARB fridge to come will take up a lot of room.

Did my heater T's earlier today. Went with brass T's Dixon 179-1212 Brass Hose Splicer Fitting, Tee, 3/4" Hose ID Barbed: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific and all new hoses ordered from @murf at CBT. I did have to use standard hose clamps on the down hose of each as the factory clamps wouldn't go over the new hose and new T. Worked well pre-building them. 141k miles and the old T's looked fine.

Continuing the small things. Replaced license plate and reverse bulbs with LEDs. Reverse lenses were of course dirty, all I did was rinse out with water for a slight difference.

Put this little cheapy in. Turned out great. Easy to cut, especially in 110 deg garage. Had to finesse the plastic trim pieces in so hopefully they'll hold up. Bent the little plastic tabs on the back of them so they would sort of slip into the slots. Gave it a nice finished look. This is the one I got (saw another member use this one).

Been almost a year, would you purchase the rear mat again? Pictures dont show, how is the coverage?

 

[92LXAZ]

@LandCruiserPhil Yes I probably would. Definitely worth it for the price. I cut it using the factory carpet mat as a template. Covers pretty much everywhere the carpet did. It is on the thin side and not very rigid so you have to be careful moving things in and out. Not sure how the Weathertech or any other ones are but you can't slide things on it. That would be the only downside, it was nice being able to slide things in and out on the carpet.

Pulled the trigger, Thanks for the feedback
Price has come down to $19.50 shipped on EBay well worth giving it a try

Good choice on the Magnaflow.

I love my 18"

Replaced my resonator with an echo chamber and it sounds great with no drone.

 

[92LXAZ]

Thanks @STIGPIG Loves ours too.

Posted in other threads, updating progress to build thread.

Ended up getting Spidertrax spacers to debunk Discount Tire belief lug centric JD spacers could be cause (not true). Mostly in case of future tire balance issues. JD spacers are a quality, well made item.
