    Possibly. I was assuming by the width of those tires that he/she was running some deep dishes with crazy back spacing. Either way, it definitely makes them leak weak.....

    *continues to look for stock replacement LCAs*

    No, not really (plus I actually have a spare set) it's just getting close to the time I should replace my LBJ (they are leaking a little and not as tight as they once were) so I'm casually searching for some used stock length replacements to add some beef down there.

    Haha, thanks all for noticing our truck! The Tacoma is our shop rig. We're very proud to state that we are brand ambassadors of the companies listed on the stickers, including Nitto Tires, Mobtown Offroad, Tepui Tents, DECKED, Rago Fabrication, VTX, SPEED Booster, and more. Our Tacoma is build 1 of 2 truck builds from our shop that is to be featured at SEMA, so we aimed to make sure the stickers of our sponsors stand out. Happy to know the stickers caught your eyes!

    The beadlock wheels are prototype beadlocks that we are testing for VTX Wheels. We were asked to test them before they go into production as we go wheeling frequently. Thus far in the past 3 weeks that we have had them, the beadlocks have been excellent going up Johnson Valley, Big Bear Gold Mountain (twice), Moapa Valley (also twice), and Southern Utah.

    The Rotopax are RX-2Gs, the RX-3G do not have the same bottom attachments. We haven't ever tipped, though the thought of "what if" did occur to us when we were riding the top of the berms in the sand dunes of Pismo Beach.

    We'd just recently been requested for a film shoot and web magazine interviews, so our truck was freshly detailed. You'd actually caught us as we were en route to get footage of us crawling in Moapa Valley.

    Our IG features other rigs and builds that we have built for clients from NorCal to San Diego, and even from Tennessee and Texas. And yes, it is true that a large portion of our clientele is composed of OC Overland and SoCal Tacomas. We're happy to help our clients get engaged and travel to places they hadn't been before and see the community grow.

    Born and raised there, and have never thought of it as dirt poor or sketchy (and that's compared to living in Santa Barbara for the past 16 years). Me and my friends used to run all over town all times of day/night without issue as kids. Sounds like your buddy had a bad go around :notsure:
