Welcome! With that suspension and tires you must have some interesting plans for using it. Where is it going to take you? And of course, we need at least one photo.

Other notes/updates:

- Hamilton car play unit installed. It works great. Seamless. No issues.

- After installing the lift/wheels/tires, there was some slight rubbing on front fender liners with the wheels turned in reverse. Easy fix. Removed small flaps (2 screws each side) then took out the two additional screws that attach the front of fender liner to the bumper and pushed the fender liner another 3/4 inch or so forward then secured it in position. No more rubbing. No rubbing on KDSS or anywhere else.

No immediate plans for the LC. I also have a built 5th gen 4runner which is the rig I use for overlanding/wheeling trips. The LC will mostly be used as a daily driver and for day trips, road trips, ski trips, etc.
