    hub centric adapters you mean? Just a ring for the center of the wheels? Or did you mean something for the lug nuts.

    no since my wheels didnt match up to the hub, i needed lug centric to ensure a better balance. it was a whole ounce difference in weight.

    Oh, you mean the way they balanced it on the machine. Gotcha.

    I thought you meant, they way it was mounted to your truck.

    That's why I won't install aftermarket wheels anymore. Most are milled with a large hub to accommodate any vehicle, so you have to rely on the lugs to center it correctly. It's back to square one every time you rotate the wheels. I just got tired of that mess and only use OEM wheels.

    Installed a pro comp 2.25" leveling kit. Now it's got a slight bro lean :/ soooo went back to the parts store and bought an AAL. Still debating if I should tackle the install or let the shop do it hehe

    Sometime in the future I'll spring for a proper spring/shock combo, but in the meantime this isn't bad for my little 2.7 Prerunner!

    Cut 4'' from front mud flaps, Applied Fluid Film to frame for rust preventative,
    I have the same AC 4x4. Do you think the brush guard would help for deer?

    Yeah if you hit it in the center of the guard it would help a bunch. The headlight covers would probably bend back and hit the truck, if a deer hit the side of it. Overall it's pretty sturdy. It would definitely help in a front end collision with another vehicle.

    I often wonder about the air bags. I don't know if they would go off because the guard is attached directly to the frame. Is the air bag sensor in the bumper? Anyone help with this?

    The air bags are activated off of inertia, so you'll be fine.
