Ok guys I have spent sooooo many hours on here searching for upgrades.
First Off I have a 1997 LX450 with 108,000 miles
No factory lockers, says 292 not 294
This rig was very well taken care of, very good condition, just repainted from a minor accident.
I do not know what I want to do, I would like to take my rig out and do some wheelin, but do not know what I really need to get started. I am not really interested in doing major crawlin, but would like to get out and get dirty. I don't want this thing to look like a grocery getter, even though it is. I also don't plan on going through deep water.
What kinds of items do I need to upgrade before I begin? I want to keep the truck looking nice, I mean it is a DD, and a Lexus. But I def. want to do a front bumper or brush guard. I am sitting on about $4,500, and have already done all the basic fluid changes. Can you also tell me what order I should do these things? I.Y.H.O.
What do you guys recommend? Can you post picks and prices of the things you have done, and what they have helped you to accomplish?
Size of a lift that doesnt need a ladder to get into?
Size of tires? Can I keep the factory rims?
Lockers, do I really need them?
Winch?
Not doing a snorkel, so what can I do to help performance? Is the factory airbox ok if Im not going deep water?
Do I need a SC, or a TC? This would be a last concern for me I think.
I have seen so many rigs on here that are great I mean really great, but I just don't know what they are capable of. I appologize if I am sounding ignorant, or it looks like I am wanting to get spoon fed the information. This isnt the case, It's just that there is so much out there for our rigs and I have no clue where I need to begin, the steps needed to start playing and enjoying my vehicle.
I would greatly appreciate any help at all. As I said I think I have just read TO MUCH, and now I am even more lost then before.
I am going to try to attach the links of ones I liked, and maybe it will give a rough idea of what I am looking for.
Thank you in advance for all your time and patience, you folks have been very polite and helpfull.

I don't want to post anymore, If I posted every single one I liked there wouldnt be any room for anyone else to post a return. I hope I didn't upset anybody by borrowing the pics of your vehicles from the ARTISTIC LC's. If I did please let me know and I will remove. Once
again ty for all your time!
