Love my v8 4th gen

A friend introduced my 15y/o son & I to off Roading last year, so I traded in my 2007 limited v8 2wd for a 2008 limited v8 4x4. Here’s What we’ve done so far- fairly minimal.

Swapped out the headlight & fog light bulbs with leds to improve night visibility, added an Ironman 4x4 America stage 3 lift, extended flexible brake lines from metal tech, perry parts progressive rate bump stops, and Yokohama geolander g015’s in 275/65r18 (32.1” tires).

The lift was an investment, but my factory xreas shocks were bad & knocking over every bump. It sounded awful & the oem repair cost more than the whole lift kit including installation.

looking to add rock sliders, steel bumpers & winch next.

this is the 3rd 4th gen I’ve owned & I love ‘em.

Those Geolanders are surprisingly a good tire.

Welcome from the center of the bourbon universe.

 

Welcome! I had the 2UZ-FE in my Land Cruiser and absolutely loved it. I had to keep a spare coil pack with me because one seemed to go about once a year. Have you done the timing belt or was it done recently? Have the heater Ts been done? Mine blew last year.

Great looking truck!

 

Welcome

 

Since I bought the truck in November, I had to do cam seals (a big, expensive job, since you have to remove the valve covers, as well as remove and disassemble the camshafts), so I did the timing belt, water pump & coolant then. I haven’t done the heater t’s, not sure if they’ve been done before. I’ve never had any coil issues, but thanks for the info & heads up.
