    well i still need to get 285s on my truck, that will take away from it a little, and i need a good kickout since my tires already stick out with 265s. I think it will look better when they are painted also, and they make a great step for getting to my RTT!

    But i am still thinking about how i can take them down a bit... i have a couple ideas but it will require a lot of cutting and grinding!

    Sweet! I didnt see many solid front axle tacos when i was there but then again i didnt own a taco back then and i wasnt looking like i do now.

    Its crazy how may tacos there are there though! Really started my love for tacos in hawaii after i saw what people were doing to them.
    This is an example of what i call a typical Hawaii Taco...

    Cut an inch or two from the rear of the kickout and bend it in to desired size and weld that b back up

    Those kick outs look massive. I dont think 285's will be enough. I would def find a way to take them in a few inches. Sliders do look good over all though!

    Got a red interior set from jumpers, I like the map lights, but the dome may go back to white and just turn it off for nights where I don't want it on every time I open the door.

    @Zac of all trades

    Had a ton of fun on the trip man!

    Already planning another trip out there to do more hiking and have more time to do that, may be either a fall trip or a Spring trip in possibly late March or early April like this was.

    After talking last night at the house, I am going to be looking into getting an ARB fridge I think and possible a hard shell RTT to go on the cab. Would make things a lot easier for trips like that and camping in general.

    You and Nicole need to come down to Tyler State Park or just give me a notice and I can try and reserve a camp site out there for us.

    I did to man! Im just glad it all worked out and we were able to camp together with so many people. I was a little worried about that.

    I think my next long camping trip is going to at the Grand Canyon! I know i want to see more of it than what i have, and i know Nicole wants to go also and has never been.

    I am down for weekend trips that are within 3-4 hours drive. Texoma, Tyler State Park, Glenrose, etc.
