    According to the thread on DR it's having Rear LT done currently, then it's getting caged after that.

    that would be a bad ass truck then!

    Heavy as fuck, for sure, hope they dont get stuck in the washes, cuz that beast isnt 4x4, and pulling that fugger out when it's dug down to the frame wont be fun

    Yeah, it's supposedly getting Rear LT, Caged then Linked after that, must be a $$$ issue as it doesn't make logical sense to do the rear end twice especially if you plan on doing Links down the road.

    Yup, around here there are lots of kids with Dmax's w/ 6" Lift and 35's and then proceed to "bag them" in the mud and manage to sink them down to the frame, it's a real interesting thing watching them getting pulled out, usually need a 1-ton or sometimes a skidder to come save the day. You're going to need a TT to pull that sucker out if it gets dug in deep.

    Hopefully they put a big f'n winch on it and bring a land anchor :cool:

    Yup, way to "bubbly" it looks good at certain angles though I'll give it that :rofl: But it's pretty much necessary now that it's running 39" Baja's

    Why do the bumper horns stick out farther than the skid plate? And sure seems like a wide spread of drips under that thing, my AC drips all in one puddle

    I don't see the point... all that money into a perfectly good tow rig. Way too heavy to be a good prerunner without ridiculous amounts of work - money that would turn a mid-size truck into a TT...

    Well if you look through the build thread on DR you'll see that it started with a RCD Drop Bracket lift so it's a lot more useful now then it was at the start of the build that's for sure. :cool:
