    Bilstein 5100 set to 2.5" lift in front. Rear TSB with 1.5" rough country. Bridgestone Dueller Revo2 265/70/17 Satoshi mod, and painted center caps, tinted windows.
    My build (still in progress). So far, 2008 TRD SR5 4X4 Sport DC. I bought this truck in December traded my 2007 FJ. Wanted a truck bed. Front; Bilstein 5100s set at 2.5. Rear; TSB and 1.5 Rough Country Blocks. Tires; Bridgestone Dueller Revo 2 265/70/17.
    Truck rides great, spedometer is right on after tire install. I now love this truck. Can't wait to go wheelin, I'll post better pics then.
    Next; window tint, sub, wheels satoshi grill, and BHLM.

    What do you think (please don't bash the blocks to bad):D

    Nice ride. I'm just gonna throw this out there but I think black rims would look real nice. Maybe paint them.

    Definitely needs some kind of customization. Try custom emblems from Metal miller. He can make you just about anything.

    I had the alignment done when the tires were installed. Before the tire install alignment was off and the truck wandered. I had the crappy Dunlops then. After the tire and alignment installation the truck drives straight and the speedometer is dead on when compared to a TomTom.

    On the Highway, the ride is straight and smooth. In the city, it is definitely rougher than stock. It rides about the same as my FJ did.

    From Fremont. I miss the cold. Down here its warm or HOT. Only good thing is I can wash my Taco and it will be clean all week. Hardly rains. But this year is a wet one so far.

    There are some good areas in an old rock quarry, and in Iowa there is a great place but you have to have a membership. Been there once. Other than that, there are plenty of places to pull off the road and go.
