    Not 100% on long travel just yet, this is still my daily driver.

    I was thinking a full mid travel setup for now and see where it goes.

    The bed brace a ma bobber thinga ma doo hickies were a creation of Jason Speed freak as he installed the rear glass, They turned out great.

    They are welded and bent for extra stability.

    I am going to run a rear tube bumper soon but in the meantime I pulled the gate and stock stuff off, I chirp the tires a little easier for now though so thats the down side, I must have removed 60-75 lbs back there.

    Definately a tough truck! I like those gator flares. Very cool Tacoma:) neat bike too-years ago I had a Mount Fuji LTD-miss that one. I just bought a KHS Urban Xpress 24-speed for some therapeutic excercise:) you obviously do some serious trail riding. Good for you man-enjoy the ride!
