    Still got 50 pages of this nonsense and just 6 weeks. Lets discuss this rock that some of us got to see a few weekends ago in the middle of the woods. Stock friendly or not? The poll is available on top of the thread!

    At some point late May/early June I could use a hand taking the bed off my truck to weld in a cross-member so I can install my new shocks if anyone is close enough to the North end of Lexington to conveniently stop by and willing to help in exchange for beers/pizza, let me know!

    If we can ever get a meet and greet up with @presta24 @mwc273 @Jibbs @dirty deeds and @beertimecontinuum up before then you could probably get it done somewhere around then.

    I voted yes since it's phrased "Should stock trucks *try* to..."

    I'll happily watch :)

    DCSB 12 slightly lifted Tacoma
    Ripped off all four mudflaps. Scratches all down both sides 6112’s up front on 3rd notch 5100’s in back with Toytech 1” block Skids & sliders from SOS Concepts I got rid of the 1” block and put on Wheelers 1 1/2” progressive AAL. SPC UCA. Be sure your standing on the drivers side when reading the instructions! I swapped sides so many times that I can swap UCA’s in 15 minutes. I put in the 3/4” spacer to eliminate the Taco Lean, and just got my 4th alignment. Traded the OEM rims for 17” Sport rims and a bora bora 1” spacer. I got my Firestone 285/70/17 MT2’s. Pelfreybilt gas tank skid and hi-lift jack should be here Friday. Looking at bumpers, but I think they will wait for next year. So far I’m happy with my build. I’ve done it all myself, leading to a lot of cussing and frustration, but it’s all mine.
    Last Saturday I had to back off of a rock because I was worried about my gas tank. When I was ordering a skid, that rock flipping the Jeep over was all I could think about.

    No video. @Jibbs and @presta24 ran it before I got there. Told me they didn't even want me to try it, and I'm much closer to stock than our group. Stock size LT tars, no locker. Just lift and armor is what I have.
    They had trouble and knew I would've too. Said without sliders or fat tars, rockers would get eaten.
