    Yeah I was thinking about it. I just got caught up in the shine. I've got camburgs sitting in my closet. Tires and Coilovers on its way. Was talking to a local welder today. I might go ahead and spend the rest on the DIY relentless bumper.

    See this is my huge problem...that's where I want to put my air comp, but it's looking like I might have to put my 2nd battery there instead. That's why I'm putting everything off until I can work it all out. Love to have a 1-2 gallon air tank to run air tools...but also for an air horn! Have one on my Diesel and LOVE it!! Lots of "Fun!"...haha!!

    Not saying you can't or shouldn't, just not necessary if you won't use the resi's to their potential. Both of you guys do higher speed and desert wheeling. Not sure if there is any of that in Virginia.

    [="RedRunner87, post: 12029080, member: 159321"]I am running 650# and I was expecting it to be a lot rougher than it is. I actually don't mind the 650, not sure how much different 50#'s would be.
    [/QUOTE]

    I'm same as you Vince...have 650#. Was pretty bouncy until I got my bumper and winch. Now rides more like a car...with a soft ride.

    I also have to do the Tundra Brake upgrade in May and that takes away from my bumper/winch money :(

    Ya and my 2.0s in the rear with the big resis. I think 11". Still get too hot to touch at times. But don't have the room to fit anything bigger at the moment.

    Would be a great dedicated off-road rig. I believe it is manual 4.7L too

    That is correct...4.0 V8. May bad I didn't check out the add, manual 4.0L V8 would be amazing in a 4Runner.
