    Thanks!

    OME 885x with OME front and rear shocks(no top plate spacer, wanted to stay at 2.5" of lift to retain stock UCA's). 3 leaf progressive add-a-leaf in the back. Sitting 3 inches higher now but should settle down a bit.

    Replaced the headlights with the redesigned oem ones. The old ones were horribly glazed and the dtrl lenses were both melted and cracked.

    I bought some fj steelies off eBay awhile back. I had a misunderstanding of the backspacing; and found that my 285s only cleared the UCAs by about a 1/4".

    So now I have 5 of them taking space in the garage.

    The beauty of craigslist I got the hook up on a truck cap/camper shell/topper what ever you call them in your area. It is silver streak mica, but doesn't actually look bad on the Spruce Mica. I might not worry about painting it since it adds some contrast. $375...I'll take it.

    Finally painted my sport rims! The bright stock silver was too much with a black truck. Painted with Duplicolor graphite metallic wheel paint & clear. I still have the pieces taped off and plastic over the brake calipers and discs in this pic. Planning to do the logos in the same colour so I'll have to remove from the truck. I tried plastidip but didn't like the finish up close...

    I got it from a company on eBay called air on board. They have all kinds of different push switches for what ever your wanting it to control. When installing make sure you read and re read the wiring diagram because I had some issues with it. Basically the only color that matched the others was the ground.

    Installed new shoes. Fierce Attitude M/T 285/70/17. Washed and waxed. There should be 5 in the stack. Installer started before I could snap the pic. Wanted 35"s but PCSing to Germany so i think that would be a bit much for the parking garage's over there.

    Did my 30K service. First time I've done any of this on my truck since Toyota took care of it for the first 25k.
    Oil Change....switched to Mobil 1 full synthetic 5-30. Also put in a Fumoto drain valve to make future oil changes easier because of my Pelfreybily IFS skid.
    Oil Filter-OEM
    Air Filter-OEM
    Diff oil change. Used Lucas 80-90 dyno oil
    Changed out spark plugs.
