I also promised myself that the day she is lifted she gets her first stickers.
So I finally put some on.

Since I will be getting mostly everything I need from Northridge, and them sponsoring Pismo 08 I put some NTP swag on:

No you may have noticed that she is de-badged. What I am doing is changing the badges around to look more like the 99+ style rears.
This involves moving the Top 4Runner Badge to the Left, The SR5 badge to the Top Right and adding the 4WD Badge with it which was not available on the 96-98, and keeping the Toyota Letter Badge on the Lower Right, and the Toyota Symbol Badge stays Right where it is.
Also I will be doing the black pearl emblems but thinking of changing it up a bit a putting a little red in there to match the Suspension, brakes and Satoshi Mod.

Also picked up these:

They have my center caps on them while I took the caps that came with them on my current rims.
they are off of a 97' T-100 but are the limited.
Plans for them is to clean them up and then paint them and run a 33 BFG AT for DD and with my current rims I will paint them white, yes WHITE and run the 33 MT retreads for the trails.

So now that the locker is working, its time to address the very stiff suspension I have up front:
All-Pro UCA's

One need to be rebuilt, but other then that going to clean them, paint them, get new washers and put them on.
All-Pro Extended Coilovers:

Going to clean them up and paint the coils again and install them.
These are 500lb coils, I figure they will give a little more,
I do have a set of 600-lb coils to put on, but I will wait till I get a front bumper and winch to do so.
Also going to be doing an on-board air set up:
