    Lies, mine showed up with a crack on one of the bedsides. Luckily it was minor and below the line where I needed to cut for my bumper anyways.

    Other than that the fitment was pretty darn good. Tail light could be a little better but that’s a tough spot and you got to remember that fiberglass is never perfect. Way better than my front trailer products ones. I’m torn on the fiberworks or adv front one piece whenever I decide to change front fenders.

    Large, flimsy, fragile products getting shipped by freight. Yeah shit is gonna happen from time to time. My order was also early on in them being a company so they could’ve improved packaging

    My bedsides got punched with a forklift on the trek to VA. The guys at the Richmond depot that loaded them into my truck did a real good job hiding that side of the box, so I didn't see it until I got home. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones that did it. Luckily though it's only noticeable as a couple of starbursts in the gel coat, but you have to be looking for them. I didn't even notice the starbursts until after I had them on the truck. No damage visible on the backside.

    Can anyone do me a favor and tell me what the width of their truck is with +4 fiberglass upfront or just the width from tire to tire with +3.5? I'm trying to figure out if my truck will fit in this garage and I dont have access to my truck right now being out of state. My guess is between 80-84". Thanks

    It's a 2nd gen

    Gonna depend only rims and tire size. With 3.5” back spacing rims and 12.5” wide tires I’m at 88” last time I measured

    Are you running TPMS with your 35s, 37s, 39s, 41s tires?

    Can you call to verify? Most places have exceptions for road legal vehicles. Or at least road legal vehicles usually have a separate set of rules

    Hey all, looking for some accurate info into making my truck be able to go fast in the sand without detremental damage, a little history:
    2005 prerunner dcsb
    Converted to 4x4 with fj cruiser transmission and transfer case
    3.73 factory rear lsd
    3.73 4runner front diff
    Bilstein 5100 with ome 885@.85
    Jba uca
    Dakar rear leafs
    Bilstein 5160s
    Extended rear brake lines
    Ironman 285/70 mud terrains

    Took the truck out last weekend under some powerlines in some really deep mud and wouldnt get stuck if I tried, spent a whole day cleaning mud out from every crevice and promised myself I would never go mudding again.

    Took it out to fort fisher beach today in NC and absolutely loved driving in the sand, wanted to go faster but my down travel prevented me from feeling like I wouldnt break something.

    Wanted some advice on what basic parts are needed to be able to soak up the beach. I will never be able to enjoy slow technical offroading as I am on the nc coast and the closest offroading park is 4 hours away (uwharrie).

    TL;DR I want my truck to go fast on beach in 4hi. Where to start.20200701_132534.jpg 20200522_162107.jpg
