New rear control arms. Sense I smashed the old ones on a rock. They are the metal tech ones.

Awsome, I have a white 2000 LX470 and love it too. I'm about 1/3 of the way or less through the build cycle compared to you. So far, Slee removed AHC and installed their OME 1.5" medium lift kit with diff drop and SPC UCAs. BIOR full set of skid plates and sliders. Next a BIOR front bumper. Probably add a BIOR rear bumper eventually. That may be it for me. Love your truck!

Well as you can from a above it snapped and broke. But this is his old design. His new ones use a bigger spendel. So it should be okay. But other then that amazing it's taken some hard hits and help up great!

Well it’s time for a update. Been too long. Last October I won a 1000 dollars at a raffle for an off road shop. So I had them put on a new OME 3in heavy lift with new torsion bars. Also around that time I put in a new head unit. Kenwood with garmin gps

Then in November (2017) I added Slee’s duel battery set up. And put in new x2power battery’s. In place of where the air compressor goes added a noco x2o battery charger. With a shore power plug mounted in the fender.

How do you like that headunit? I have been throwing around that idea for a while... would be really nice to have the indash GPS instead of relying on my phone

Then on January 22 the unthinkable happened... I was rear ended by a 3500 Chevy truck that was hit by another car. The bump it off road bumper saved the truck from more damage. It spent 3 months in the body shop. (not there fought) it was insurance they wanted to total it, but I fought back hard and we finally came to an agreement where the title would not be salvaged. So now it has a fresh new rear end (upper and lower hatch and new glass) and have a fellow member building me a 4x4 labs rear bumper.

It’s been great would recommend. the only thing I complain about is the glare. It’s awful. I need to find a film to put over it to help it.

Taking the old one off and building a 4x4 labs.
Glad you could save it. I worry about that scenario.
What's the purpose of the lines running from the rack to the bumper? I saw a Ranger set up that way yesterday at the Toyota dealer.

They are limb risers to keep limbs off the windshield. I kept cracking windshield on my 80 so I put them on there. And just put them on the 100. It’s saved the windshield a few times.
That's... very clever. I've given my windshield a good few whacks already, maybe I won't tempt fate anymore. Do they make a lot of noise going down the interstate?
Been pretty happy with the OME suspension? I assume so if you bought it twice. I did a 1.5", a lot of people seem to complain about it being too stiff, but seems alright to me.
