    Welcome (although I'm new too).

    Looks like you put Bushwackers on, what do you think of those (easy install)?

    Welcome. Really like the look of those bushwackers! I just wish they weren't so proud of them.

    I'm in Firestone as well.

    Check out some of our regional threads. The BS thread is always pretty active and the trail report and the trading post are good threads too.

    Hmm... I might be interested in the flares to experiment with. I need to do some serious trimming.

    Thanks for the welcome....flares were quite easy to install and taking my time took about 3 hours. They are proud of them for sure but the quality seems great and the fit looks factory.

    Hey OP, are those 255/85R16 Toyo Open Country MT's?
    You still running the stock Baja suspension?

    They are indeed 255/85R16 MT's...I am pleasantly surprised with their ride quality and the noise increase was much less than I was expecting.

    In that photo I was still on the Baja suspension but have since changed over to the Toytec Boss so I can crank up the preload when my bumper arrives. Again nice change in ride quality and overall feel....not the coolest or trickest suspension route but I feel it will serve my purposes well.
