I am going to be Modding it over the next 12 Months $ permitting. The 3 main ones ATM is a 2" Suspension Lift with a 1" Body lift.

I need to do these lifts as to fit the Monster im looking at under the hood. That is a Toyota Lexus V8 (1UZ-FE)

These are a bit of a wish list as Coopers make some good rubber too.

As i said this will be a project over the coming year and ill update with pics as i go.

Are there anymore 4WD enthusiasts out there ?? Need someone to brainstorm with and squeeze info out of them.
Anyways this is my baby. I have some plans for it. 20Yrs ago when they first came out i was buying one and i did up drawings for it.

And here is a glimpse of what it will look like after. Now put a Canary Yellow

May your next 12 months be totally uncrappy!

The only accessorizing I can recommend is a good credit card to feed it with. ;)

You actually had to buy one? I thought those were standard issue for everyone down that way ;) I swear every single show on the Discovery Channel about Australia - they're either in a Land Rover or a 4runner :)

BTW - nice tire choice. Those will look sweet. :)

Is going to be "uncrappy" so looking forward to it.
Hmm well my credit card will be my labour and Box of the best ale $ can buy. Friend willing to help out ;P

LOL well we do have a lot of Off Road country to explore. Thinking that only 85% of Aust population lives within 200kms of the coast.


BTW - nice tire choice. Those will look sweet. :)

Those tyres are my dream tyres for offroading, but would like em. Probably go for more a 70% onroad and 30% offroad tyre . . .

Can only dream

That's SWEET! The old-school 4Runners where absolutely bulletproof! My buddy has a white 98 that he takes off-roading all the time, and with the exception of one bad landing, that this is a tank! Have fun with it, and make sure to post some pics later on!
Till then...I'll be waiting...

You could do a stencil of your body art on the side . . . then add to it as you add to your own.

Funny you mention this as i had actually thought about Tattoo Artwork down the side. Granted it was my ArtWork, but yes that could work. I just thought it a little corny to mention ;)
