Finally got new/reman calipers(Napa eclipse) at all 4 corners, new exchaust hanger bushings and TJm 30mm rear sway bar......oh and new stainless braided brake lines and rear rotors. My wallet is a lot lighter and my MPG isn’t improving with new found weight savings.
The rear sway bar is a very noticeable and worthy upgrade especially for heavier rigs. The LX feels much better at corners and feels much safer.

Yes, just factory with 1 inch drop blocks. With added weight(6100lbs total) and being a bit top heavy with 120lb arb full roof rack she was swaying like a belly dancer. With the upgraded sway bar she feel quite planted and very factory like. Once I upgrade my sway bar link to proper length she will be even better.
With extra weight I think this is one of those must have upgrades. I wish I have done it MUCH sooner.

Good old SteelHunterFJ80 and I decided to see what these rigs are all about and I must say it was shocking what they can do on the trails. Considering we aren't really modified.. these things stock just rip up the trails.
Oh yeah.. I'm also pushing 322K miles... runs like a champ. No exaggeration.. crazy.

Been busy over the last couple months and have been meaning to post an update!

- Finally replaced my cracked Slee license plate light with some sweet LED bolts
- Took advantage of CVT's tax sale and mounted up a 99" awning
- Built some magnetic RAM mounts to use some old Rigid SRM diffused LEDs for camp/work lights
- Installed a JDM grab bar
- Added LED courtesy lights to the side mirrors
- Installed Rigid SRQ floods and SRQ diffused LEDs with @yodaTEQ mounts!
- Installed alley cameras into the side mirrors for a new project
...and a 4.88 re-gear with a rear axle re-build
