    I bought it from a guy on another forum I'm a member of. It's a pretty simple design. I can take some more pictures for you later this week.

    I see you have the Unlimited spirit. Here is a photo of the 08 with all the mods to meet my needs of Traveling with Tools. Yea the front fender mod was pole in a tight parking space. lights on the way.

    Have not looked in a while. Your Tacoma just keeps getting better and better. What can be done is "unlimited." Make it your own. The white 08 evolved into a Dark blue 2012 4x4. The dealer never saw the grill or lights. A buddy got it for his 09. Kept the wheels and repainted the Topper to match. Now to fabricate a new grill with lights behind.

    I really like them they are just very skinny compared to other 255s. They wear decent enough. Mileage is about the same as with 265/75r16s

    this just popped back up in my list of threads, i think its one of my favorite builds, especially since im going a similar route with the hidden front hitch over a steel bumper. out of curiosity, with the OME springs and 5100's, have you ever gotten a clunk from the front end? curious if that is still an issue without the OME shocks

    I am. Spidertrax 1.25 on all four. I over all like the skinny tires but if I had it to do over I would go with the 255s in the at max or the big mt. They are a bit wider than the regular st's
