8) K&N air filter upgrade

Not sure that is really an upgrade. You may want do a search on the topic. Rig is looking BA.

 

[73Chevota]

Shakedown with the 5.29s, ARBs, chromemoly fronts and manual hub swap!!

Going to add an extra 1/2" bump stop to the rear. Rubbing on the new bumper a bit.

Yez zir

Do you suggest the Slee for rear bumper on an LX450 or no?

 

[73Chevota]

It is well worth the money. Took a couple big hits on it during the trip and it didn't go anywhere. There is some weight to it. Along with the addition of 1/2" bump stops, I will probably move to Slee HD springs. There isn't any sag right now but I feel that it will perform better under load with the rear bumper and gear if I had the HD springs.

My two cents anyways.

Prolly a silly question looking at those pics, but yours has factory lockers? Aussie?

 

[Sanchez]

Dude that looks sick!

 

[mickeyt]

how bad is the rubbing of side of rear bumper on your LX?

 

[Dimiscus]

That is a sweet ride and a sweet build. I would love to see that thing sometime. Im in Centennial. I just got an LX also and will be starting to do some things soon. Awesome rig

He said ARB air lockers at the beginning of the thread.
My wife wants her LX to look like that.

 

[Slabsides45]

Yep, smooth missed the ARB reference. See that you did indeed get them. Nice!

OP, I have exact same truck (well, the one you started with). Did you do the air lockers yourself or have it done? Been debating air lockers vs tossing in a $300 Aussie Locker and callin it good... I'm getting guesstimates of $1,500+ per air locker plus labor. Sound right?

 

[rain76king]

That truck is sexyyy. looks like it performs well too.

 

[73Chevota]

Yes...ARB lockers. $1500 installed per dif isn't that far off if the shop you are looking at does QUALITY work. To save some coin, pull the difs yourself and save some time on labor charges. I have been a big fan of selectable lockers from my 4Runner to FJ40 and now to the LX. Save your cash and do it right.

Anytime! Going out tomorrow to Moody to get derty.

It isn't too bad. I took some measurements on Friday and 1/2" extra bump on the rear will cure this issue. I have nobody lift and have not trimmed a piece of body yet. Going to split a OME bump and add it to the rear.

 

[73Chevota]

Had to put some new tunes in! Bluetooth compatibility is niiiice for driving and talking!

Also removing the wood grain...need to get some goo gone for the goo

Oh, and "prolly" is not a word...

 

[atomicshawn]

Very nice. I wonder what the original owner would think if they could see it now.
