    About to put a lift on my Tacoma this Friday. She's never seen dirt yet! :) Would be neat to get a MT group together some time though.

    @ramonortiz55 sure does, same color as yours too! :) I'll grab a couple of pics haha.

    @Kyitty we definitely need to have a MT group run sometime. Would be cool to hang out and go camp for a weekend. And no worries, we'll break that Taco into the dirt real well haha!!

    That would be good to see. I know some companies add width to their bumpers to accommodate the limited flares.

    Thank you! I know right, she's still a baby ;) lol. My last vehicle was a 95 suburban that was still running on the factory drive train when I sold it last year at 278k, so I'll be bummed if I don't pull at least that with the 4Runner!

    I know right? I beat the living shit out of mine lol. Typical high school kid stuff lol. One of my coworkers is the daughter of the lady I sold it too, and she said it is still running today, but isn't sure if mileage. I'm assuming over 300k by now! I seriously sold the truck for $1000 lol

    You chop the old frame end caps off (like 1/8" metal) and weld in a piece of 1/4" angle iron or something along those lines. Look it up on T4R, lots of info on it out there. It's a must if you ever plan on doing any winching or recoveries with the bumper. My Shrockworks came with all the stuff for it...
