    Never said it was exclusively to 35's. Just pointing out that those of us with 35's that actually wheel our tracks need to be more diligent.:smack:

    heres some shots of the bumper. I used the all pro bumper as the "base". Its not pretty but hey it will worked. I need to add some angled square tube behind the tailight and it will be done. It was 330am on Friday when i finished this so i decided this will be for another day.

    Pretty don't get you down the trail. I could care less about looks it's all about function. Unless your a mall crawler then it's all about the bling bling. If that bumper works then who cares how pretty it is.

    Yea, the sheet metal that you see in the pics is just a taste of what the rest of the truck looks like. My mantra is 100% form follows function, i ran without the rear bumper sides and caved in the pax side rear bedside and almost took the tailight out, so i made this.

    I have 3.5'' of shaft showing on the shock and 6'' between the bump and pump pad on the frame.
    How long should I make my bump extenders? 2.75'' or 3''?
    I don't know how much the stock bumps compress.

    [​IMG] So I got the LC Engineering headers installed. The issues I had installing was that the ending of the headers didn't match up to my 2nd cat. So I had to move the entire exhaust system closer to the front of the truck. The transmission dip stick was also in the way and I had to take the top half of it off. After I install the header I had to try and fish it threw the pipes to put it back. The dip stick does rub against the header pipes. When I started the truck after the install there was an obvious increase in power and it has a slight deeper tone coming out of the tail pipe at higher RPM. But I still haven't test drove it yet. I will keep you guys posted after I do. O yeah I have the 3RZ engine.

    I've noticed that every pic I've seen of the LBJ fail has always been on the driver side. I wanna say I've seen at least 10 different pictures posted on here and they've all been on the driver side. I've yet to see a passenger side go out. I'm sure other have probably seen a passenger side go out, but why does it seem to happen more on the driver side? Is it due to the slight extra weight on that side?
