    @allpro how much for that front bumper in steel? Same HC design and everything. I would love to cut my frame horns off and weld on a higher clearance bumper like the one on blackbetty!

    We wanted to compare this recent build to the LT build we did with Brownie.

    The results are in:

    Brownie vs Black Betty, one LT IFS one SAS. Both have the same 37" tires, the same 4.5" backspacing on the wheels. 1/2" diff at the door handles. The LT IFS is 1" wider, the SAS turns sharper and has more wheel travel, both drive like a dream.

    Disagree. I think Brownie was closer to what they should offer from the factory as a challenge to the Raptor. But SFA definitely isnt for everyone. I personally wouldnt have bought a Tacoma if it didnt have IFS. Dont get me wrong, its a badass truck, but to each their own. Rock on @allpro

    @weldertaco It is the same front bumper that we have here:http://bit.ly/tacoma_APEX

    It just doesn't have the lower valence cover attached. It would be $929 + Hoop Options & Shipping. Let us know if you have any questions!

    Why not just use the one that's installed? The transmission doesn't affect swapping the front axle.

    The basic kit will work with the 44 but a 44 out of a Wagoneer is going to be seven to eight inches too narrow.

    Ok cool then what 44 would you recommend I know I would rather have the diamond front but right now 6k on just an axle is not feasible for me
