For winch: Superwinch Talon 9.5 synthetic rope will be going into bumper.

Baja Designs S2 are going on the sides of tent rack for scenery lighting.

Awesome looking truck. I just ordered a front bumper from Billy in early May and looking forward to receiving it. I went with the full hoop model. Do you have a stock front skid or aftermarket? Was wondering if that would still fit with the bumper. Also did you have to cut off your factory recovery hook? I know the Tacoma bumpers a few buddies have required that.

What happened with Relentless if you dont mind me asking? I was turned off by their 15 week lead time quote.

Relentless didn't have communication and lead time I was looking for. They assured me bumper would be done in 12 weeks and I explained I needed to have bumper no later than 12weeks. I called about 10weeks or so and then they told me it was going to be another 4-6 weeks. At that point I canceled my order.

Billy was up front about his lead times and to be honest I think aesthetics of his bumper are better. Quality and him being an excellent communicator sold me. Humble guy that's down to earth earned my business.

You can use stock skid plate and mine bumper bolted up zero issues.

I will have aftermarket skids soon from a fellow tundra owner that conveniently works for overland shop so stay tuned for that.

Tundy coming along great! Front bumper sure changes the front end... 30" BD bar suits it well too.

Thanks! It's coming along slowly but surely. I am going to make a strong effort to document more here. Always envied your build.

Loving content of your 4Runner :)

Thats funny, Billy was actually telling me about your situation. I definitely think his bumpers are the best looking first gen bumpers out there. Im saving right now to get the same rear bumper as the one you ordered too. Cant freakin wait.

Glad you went with Brute Force Fab. I love the low profile hoop design.

Update.....

ARB Rear Locker is in! First trail day with it this Sunday.

Got all the custom King suspension ordered and Archive Garage Deaver Expo leaf pack.

Patiently waiting for parts to start rolling in.

Starting to look into a solution to my tires rubbing in front fenders.....

Time to ditch the flares?? I think Tundras look so much better without them.

I had to massage my inner liner a bit when I first got my SCS wheels, and that was on a 265/75.
