    i have a whopping 3, and they do the same thing :D


    and dude! I STILL have yet to destroy that thing. it only has a couple of dents in it, and its not like I go easy on it. I would love to have a bumper done in the next month for CO but i REALLY dont see that happening. oh well. one more chance to pry the factory one off.

    Im going super simple, hc the rear and a couple pieces of square tube with many gussets.

    I'm going to try to pack "light" for the trip. Should I bring my entire spare steering rack?

    And of course, I'm predictable huh.
    I'm gonna use a real welder for this one too. Maybe tack it together wait the flux, but I'll finish weld it with a nice machine

    My brakes are toast so I'm planning on upgrading to tundra brakes pretty soon. Anyone know if I can run them with the stock 16" wheels I have now? I know some 16" wheels will work but I'm not sure what the backspacing is on these.
