So I have had my 2003 Land Cruiser for a little over a year. I am struggling to add upgrades. I’d like to get all new suspension (it has 268k miles). But all the lifts are for loses vehicles. I would like a rear and front bumper as well. I don’t want to buy a lift and then have to rework it when I get armor. Should I just wait save and do it all at once or slowly add on?

AZ, My wife & I attended a talk by Mario Donovan, from AT Overland, about Vehicle Builds, at the Northwest Overland Rally. He said several times to keep your weight down, know your Gross Vehicle Weight, Secure your load, Balance, and Lower your Center of gravity, it matters! I'd wait. Know the weight of the bumpers, winch, Tire and rear attachments. Add that weight to the 80 series. Then determine the lift & suspension need... You can run 33" 10.5" BFG AT without modifying the suspension. DG
