Cool! You've made a ton of progress (or just caught up on posting mods) since the last time I visited this thread. Now where are the pics from the FJ summit? :sombrero:

That's disgusting and sad to hear that its juts as prevalent out there. At some point here I'd like to invest in a Trasharoo so I can pick up even more than I do now, but if I spent all my time picking up trash I'd probably never have an opportunity to get out and do anything. Thank you for...

So we went camping this weekend up in Red Feather, CO. No offroading was in the cards, more just a relaxing weekend of camping before the fiancee begins school tomorrow. We drove on up Friday night and once again, I was very thankful I had the el cheap $70 Amazon light bar for the Forest Service...

Looking good! You guys still planning to run the Rubicon next week? If so I'll be curious to hear your thoughts, everything I read makes it out to be a very burly trail.

So I ended up having the 255/85s installed on the SCS rims yesterday. The stance on the truck is much better and the wider rims have given the tires a better profile IMO. I'll get some better pictures this weekend, they are pretty slick. Initial impressions after driving it are that there IS a...

None of the pictures work for me. :(

The weight is part of the equation now as outside factors are weighing on my decisions at this point. The significant other is only a year out from attending nursing school and we will be reduced to a single income household. I'm now fighting the internal fight of paying down debts and preparing...

All good points guys. Up until now the desire to "balance" things out in my mind has been the main force in driving this move. Unfortunately the rational part of my brain has been clawing back into the argument recently bringing up the reduced reliability and increased wear as well as the...

Small nitpick, but not all suspension for the 05+ suspension fits second gen trucks. OME rear shocks did not fit on my 2015 and I believe Toyota changed the shock mount on the axle. Other than that I agree with the summary of the crawl control addition. Seems like drivers with more advanced...

Hmm, having second thoughts about the 35s. Not because I don't think they would look better, but more because I'm a bit wary of doing the fender trimming necessary to stuff them in there. Thoughts?

What are you using for a CV puller? A length of cable with loops at each end and a sledge?

I have owned both a Leer and an ARE. They are both pretty comparable and I'd say it was more or less a toss up. I preferred the handle/locking mechanism on the ARE more but that wouldn't be enough to sway me enough to choose one or the other.

Totally agree. A truck with this large of proportions just needs something a little bit wider to look right. I will say though that the access cab models and DCSB can pull off the tall and skinny look without looking weird.

Another piece of the puzzle shows up. My SCS F-5s in matte gunmetal arrived last night. They are 16x8 with 3.5" backspacing. It should give the 315s enough room to breathe while providing just the right amount of poke. 20150811-P1010430 by Tim Souza, on Flickr Picking up a set of black rear...

Nice looking truck and awesome score on the All-Pro bumper. It looks much much better with a proper set of wheels and tires on there. That location also loves to collect snow and ice, which creaks and crackles over bumps when the body flexes. It drives me batty. Maybe not an issue since you are...

Whoah. This one looks like it's going places. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Yep, though to be perfectly honest with myself the decision is not entirely a performance based one. It has been a fine tire size for most things and the KM2 performance, outside of hard packed snow, has been quite good. Unfortunately however they just never quite looked right to my eyes. The...

Nice! Mind sharing some more details as to what you had to do to get it to fit? From the looks of it it follows the body lines just as well as the Tacoma specific snorkels do. Did you get this one? http://www.amazon.com/Snorkel-Intake-Toyota-Series-Cruiser/dp/B00B90PPGY

Nothing to see here... 20150806-P1010427 by Tim Souza, on Flickr :smiley_drive:

Quite the rapid fire build thread! The truck looks awesome. Can't wait to see the rest.
