    If your gonna spend the money on that just get a Currie Rock Jock 60 or the pro rock 60 from Dynatrac. Heck, they are the same price as the Diamonds or ruffstuff and in my opinion, stronger and without the long wait.

    I've run Currie from day one without an issue on my 6000lb plus beast on 40's +, with dual case's and front and rear ARB's. Love Currie. Wouldn't have anything else. In fact, my next build is a 4th gen 4runner on 35's with Currie Rock Jocks front and rear.

    Check out this set up. it all just comes down to suspension as what you guys were talking about earlier... having a huge lift is not really necessary. this kid sits lower then my truck and it killed every taco at this event. check how it doesn't even have Leafs springs, it has toughs bars...... (sorry not really an expert in set ups and stuff), but if im going to bob my taco and go SAS im doing something like this and lowing it just a little bit

    Tough bars? I think you mean links and from the looks of it airshocks instead of coilovers. Looks like three link front and four link rear.

    What I really wanna see is the old school Yota van with the SFA!

    oh :) nice well if im bobbing my taco this set up would be perfect, cause the leafs and shackles wont get in the way right ??? the only down side is that you'll have to cut the bed for putting suspension like that huh ???
    haha everyone rocks those tires these days, there freaken pricey.

    as for the van ya it looked nice but it wasn't in running condition it had no seats and it was missing the drive line front and back

    Ya ill see what happens. now I'm not talking like im going to do this in the next year or so, this is what i have in mind once i get my own house, have a wife (that hopefully she dont screw up my plans), and have more daily cars so i can just use my current taco just for moab ready. Lets just say im planning my dream rock crawler now so i can be ready. :D

    He didn't cut down those axles. The H2 wheels he's running have 5" of backspacing which is more than most wheels but not by much. If you're considering ponying up for 1 tons or big money axles, you probably have enough to spare for a cheap DD. Daily driving a built truck is tiring and tires are NOT cheap.

    Yeah, no doubt ill get a cheap DD for most bs but I prefer if this wasnt a trailered rig. I want it available for an optional DD, as well as DD in winter, driving to trails, camping, ect. I can run some 35"s for most DDing and keep a set of 37-40" for the trails.

    35?!?! :rolleyes: Since you're going 60/14 at least go 40-42" tires for the trail and 37s for street! :p hahaha Can you imagine how funny a truck cut to fit 40s would look with 35s? :D

    Went on infernal's build to get a pic of his beast on 42s. :p (60 front, 70 rear) He almost went up to 44s but thought it would cause too much breakage and stuck with 42".
