Help me decide

[Killerpurple]

Hey guys, i got a 97 LX450 S/C. With 250k miles. It has a 2.5 lift OME medium springs and i recently got toyo 315/75/16. So i got 7k to spend. my first upgrade is i'm gonna regear to 4.88. that will cost me 2400. what should i do with the rest of the money? head gasket has been done and heater hoses has been done. The front end is dripping little oil so i was thinking of doing the front oil seal and since im going to do that i was going to get the orange clutch fan from wits end and replace that since i have a S/C(TRD). Let me know your ideas. thx

Get Wits End turbo with the $7K and teach yourself to wrench.

or just save the $ for gas.

WK sliders and a nice roof rack...save the rest of the $$ and go on an adventure!

Good to add lockers while re-gearing (IF they would benefit you with the type of off-roading you do)

I don't see the point in regearing. Definitely fix the leaks. Maybe do a coolant flush if you don't know when the PO did it. Buy armor if you don't have any and maybe a roof top tent if you wanna overland. $7k will go bye bye quick

Thanks for the input. Mines already have factory lockers
