    The RCA Cables run down the center console/transmission tunnel area. Power Wire runs dows the passenger side door trim piece. All the wires are comming out the same hole in the carpet right now, which might not be very good.

    But really for the best wiring setup the amp should be spun 180 degrees. Right now the RCA and power hookups are on the opposite side op where the wires are. I just wanted access to the controls for the time being.

    ^^Looks good, but did you spray those without taking them off?
    I am looking to stay with 31's and these 3.91s suck. I don't offroad much and I'm going to college for the next 5 years so it wouldn't make sense to be throwing on thousands of dollars of offroad parts on my daily driver.

    For all I know it could be over 5 years for me to get that done.

    Looks great but would look better if you added a lime green accent to the Toyota emblems on the center caps to go with your badges ;) IMO

    Went to a friends cabin. Caught some trout. Went exploring in the mountains. Climbed up some steep hills. Utilized the locker. Got stuck 100 feet from a paved road. Broke a strap. Pulled out by a Jeep :/ Chafed my brand new snatch strap pretty good. Don't know if I should get another one as a back up just in case.

    I may just go ahead and pick up some regular chevy springs for the omd mod and then go with the 63's later. Don't do much wheeling right now anyways. I only want like 3" out back right now. When I get a better job, I want have a rear setup like Slodgetto :drool:

    Did some rock crawling with a guy that owns a turbo'd 88 4runner.

    Had a lot of fun as it was my first time to actually be out on rocks! I thought I did pretty good myself. Had a few moments that made me cringe on whether or not I was going to flip or damage my truck.

    Definitely need to invest in rock sliders now! My truck got it's first trail damage today, he's growing up... Haha


    Didn't get too many pics as I was having too much fun driving haha but here are a few.
