well, got the 99 SR5 over the weekend, now the planning starts, i need some advise from you seasoned 3rd gen owners.
first, i'm not into rock crawling, level 2 is the most i'd consider. right now, it's bone stock, with new clutch and new A/T tires. i'm planning on getting the following:
1. front bumper: i like the look of TJM-17 but too much money and too heavy. tube bumper in the front at least for now, keep the weight low.
2. rear bumper: box type rear bumper, so far, i like the one BruceTS made THE most, without the tire carrier.
3. sliders: i have a brand new in box Trail Gear sliders, just need to be welded
4. lift: oh, boy!! with all the options out there, i think the SS1.2 would be the best, expensive yet proven to be solid in and out.
5. skid: downey
6. fluids: ordered RedLine GL-5 for the diff's, and MT-90 for TC and Trans, i had them in my 94, couldn't be happier with the Redline's. they are going in next week.
7. lighting: having astigmatism makes me a sucker of bright lights. i'd love to do an HID conversion, but i have zero idea on how.
any comments? specially, which is the right order on those projects i should follow.
thanks.
