    Thanks!
    It accelerates OK but its by no means fast. And now at 75 mph its almost 2800 rpm. When I head out west next spring for vacation I'm going to feel like it's dragging an anchor. All my other vehicles are much more powerful. 2001 Ford F350 Diesel, 1992 Ford Mustang 392 rwhp and even my wifes Rav4 with the 3.5L is pretty darn fast!:D

    Thanks. I love that ARB. Its saved the front of my truck countless times. I have hit at least a half dozen deer with it and have had no damage except a buck's rack hit the hood once and just dented it. I will feel bad cutting it up to fit the flared fenders but it will look good when its done and does need to be blasted and re-powdercoated. It is almost 8 years old.

    Very nice 1st gen! I love how the ARB flows with the flares and body panel. The only thing I would change is the rear chrome bumper otherwise a very clean rig overall!

    Thanks!
    I couldn't agree more. It is starting to rust so I am going to pull the pin and probably get an elite. The only reason I never did is I thought it would look funny with the only chrome piece being the grille.

    How many folks on here are from the Midwest? Or Wisconsin? I'm guessing not many.

    pretty much stock
    Looking at tires for my 07 tacoma. 4 door. 4wd. Had Michliens AT. Nice tire but only got 40000. Any thoughts on cooper AT3. Price is right at $140 per tire. Never had Coopers before but not paying the Michelin man again. Any tire review would be appreciated. Mostly street but weekends I do hit the farm.
