How does it drive with the longarms and 33's? Could it be used as a touring rig? Fuel consumption aside of course haha

It handles perfectly and is way smoother than the original short arm kit that it previously had. Even with no swaybars I can drive it to work on the highway sitting on 110kph steering with two fingers! It will eventually be a tourer (within reason) so I kept that in mind when choosing my suspension package. The Toyo's are great on the road too and I only run about 20psi in them.

Back on 3.7's after blowing a ring gear. Still drives fine on open road just has zero engine braking in 4wd. I don't want to fork out on gears yet cause I'm looking at a rear diff swap in the not to distant future.
