OME Lift. *sigh* Finally got her done.

After bailing on the Group Buy, I called Toyota of Dallas. My lift arrived in two days. Thanks guys. $690 shipped

After much contemplating, I decided cost would be the determining factor as to whether I did it, or someone else. I would have to buy / rent spring compressors, borrow jack stands and a hydraulic jack, muddle through and have nobody to blame but myself if something went wrong. I let the pros do it this time.

Firestone / Bridgestone, where I got my Destinations did it for $250 and did an alignment immediately after for $70. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. I have peace of mind, too.

Ok, enough blabbing and on with the pictures. It's so, ...... I feel like I had an FJism.

Sorry for the dark pics. I'll take more tomorrow.









Edited to add a couple of daylight pics







Edit:
Some more pics. I'm done now

Re: OME Lift. *sigh* Finally got her done.

Oh. maybe I should mention the ride.

So far I have only been on pavement. It's superb. No nose dive. Stiff around corners. I'll have to wait a few weeks to really try it off road.

Looking good there Dragon!!!! I still haven't decided on which lift that I am going with. Still have the garage problem. Let us know how you like it and how it does off road.

I was born in the year of the Dragon.
My real name in Kanji means Dragon.

It just kind of stuck.
