    So I have a grey 98 runner that im building for long road trips. Trans is built v8 unit and B&M performance kit. Inline fluid filter (dual) and a 40k gvw cooler.
    Engine is 20 over 5vz polydyn coated "everything". Removed the fan bearing and milled the housing flat. All the belts are direct now and Taurus electric fan sits behind an aluminum 3 core radiator.
    Pulled out the headliner and installed the thermal/noise barrier there.
    Did the 2005 Tundra large caliper brake conversion.
    Got 17 late model wheels (Thanks Sean) to clear the calipers.
    Im probably going to go with a 2 tone grey over black raptor bed liner exterior ( I know most hate it but not me).
    Ive pulled off the roof rack and welded the holes shut.
    Upgraded the taillights to LED.
    After the coated and wrapped crossover pipe it 3 inch cat, muffler, and tail pipe.

    Need suggestions on suspension pieces and non-offroad tires (increase the tire height by maybe 1 to 1.5 inches.
    Guy who built my trans will install a locker.

    Ideas?
    Tim
