    Nice! 3" should clear you of the splash guards, but the CM will still need to be chopped.

    HUGE thanks to JayDirt letting me pick up and install his roof rails before even paying him for them!

    Also received my black headlights from eBay. Laid down a bead of silicone to make sure no moisture gets in.

    I'm the same way, but this rack has grown on me big time! Sitting next to Tacomas at similar height, mine looks taller too because of the illusion the rack gives.

    Thanks!

    Bumped my Billies up to 2.5" so I can finally install my Bushwhackers tomorrow. Thanks to fellow member Kenny (Krans) for helping reset the shocks! Terrible photo, but w/e. Less rake now.

    Jake, maybe you can try doing what I did to get mine...

    http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/3341564762.html

    This guy is selling his truck in Big Bear. I'd e-mail him to convince him he wont get the resale value for the Bestop back, and offer him $250-300 for it, and go pick it up. I did the same thing to get mine, some guy in LA was selling his truck and I called him asking if he will sell it to me for $250 and he agreed. He took it off the truck, bagged up the hardware, and I drove up and picked it up!
