Locked, & Lifted...FINALLY!

[Long Duck Dong]

Hello All,

I just got back from picking up my LX450 from getting the Skyjacker 2.5" lift, shocks and wheels and tires put on....it looks awsome...

Driving the truck now I notice the 305/70R16's and I will most likely tackle 4:88 gears next although Romer got me thinking about an s/c from cruiserdan.

I will do the photo by photo speaker install tomorrow, it's kind of late in the day to do it today....not to mention I'm swammped with work....enjoy the pics...

When I ordered the Skyjacker I had no idea IH8MUD.com existed......basically I didnt know that Old Man Emu or Slee Offroad were even around....

Not to mention the Skyjacker springs cost me $350 at my door, which was cheap enough. My lift, wheels/tires and installation cost me right at $1600 installed.....

Still need to order caster correction and steering stablizer..... Which in some lifts those parts are included....None the less even after ordering those parts at "retail" pricing I still come out cheaper than buying another kit....Keep in mind I havent ever taken the LX off the paved road.....now I might...lol

That has the potential of being an expensive thing!

Sorry....it has factory lockers....

As for taking it off road?...HELL YEA I'm going too.....I actually have been trying to reach Deep South Cruisers who is the closest club to me.....website is down, no reply to emails....How crappy is that...I'm going to get deep into this truck and no one to wheel with....lol

I initially had no intention of taking off road, now I REALLY want to go out..... I just dont want to go out alone, in case something happens

Ugh, oh, he caught the bug. I'm betting that lift he put on makes it two weeks. It will shortly be replaced by a slee or FOR 4-6" lift, 4.88 gears, ARB front and rear, sliders, and a 35" tires.
