Topher88 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Engine 3.0 3VZ-E V6 (stock cuz it's bullet proof) Suspension Everything is custom but the springs were rated for a 3 inch lift but with all the modifications for the strait axel conversion it ended up being a 6" + lift Wheels 16 with 16-33-12.5 Interior is stock but thinking of stripping it out and painting all the trim black instead of the maroon it is now Exterior Well as you can see a bad ass cage Quote Link to comment
