    I'm sure it is in here somewhere. Did you leave the fender flares wide in the rear to matchup with the bumper or did you have the high clearance bumper cut short to match up with the cut fender flares.

    Hi. Where is this truck located? I was wondering is you have a personal mecanic that installed all of this or did you do it yourself? Btw it is verry nice.

    3" trimmed off the fenders and the flares

    All bolt-on except the secondary shock hoop is welded on. You can run spacers in the rear to match the front.

    lol I do a lot of things... marketing, photography, design, pimp and blood donor to name a few :D

    I'll get some photos of it up soon :)

    I only had it on for a couple days and only snapped a cell phone shot that was posted on IG. I took it off because the tire was too low or the hitch was too high however you want to look at it with hi-clearance bumper... so basically I couldn't pull the trailer with it on.

    I have had numerous trailers with torsion axles and never had any issues (I actually prefer winter/snow camping). Fingers crossed that luck remains lol

    I had the rear bumper shortened 1-2" if I remember right and then I trimmed the Bushwacker flares to line up accordingly.

    I live in Utah. I have had a lot of help along the way and do a lot of it myself (the truck has been parked in my garage on blocks for the last two weeks getting some changes made). I had Rebel Offroad install my gears and lockers. When I need to use a lift or get any welding done I go to Moab Outfitters here in Utah. The rear Pelfreybilt shock hoop set-up was done in CA by Jason Watson (freaking rockstar!). @FastPace is absolutely right though, I would rather not do the large jobs, if I don't have to, because with work and the truck being my daily driver I would much rather leave the big jobs to the professionals that can whip it out fast and accurately.

    Some Big Bear exploring with Mike Shin.

    Good comparison shot of the fenders.
    We have the same Bushwackers but mine are trimmed approx 3" off.

    How are you like the relocation shock mount? Can you tell a difference in the ride or anything noting?

    I see where you trimmed the fender, I like that a lot. How do you think those fender would look on a Taco that wheels don't stick out too far? Also are you running a spacer in the rear to match the front? I remember you telling me your not a big fan of them.

    Oh an update on my truck, I ordered TC Racing Series LCAs a few weeks back and they will be delivered on Tuesday. I had them custom made without the secondary shock mount.

    Bad Ass Ryan! Stoked to see it all come together for you!

    The relocation kit is seriously so freaking nice. I definitely felt a ride quality difference but my leafs are toast and are getting replaced this week with some from Atlas. My driver side sits 1" lower right now and it has been driving me bat shit crazy lol

    The fenders still look great, just google bushwacker flares on a tacoma and I'm sure you will see plenty without a LT kit. I know a lot of guys on here have them also. I put a 1" spacer on the back just to give it a little extra width when I was at the Offroad Expo and I will do the same for SEMA but I don't like them for daily driving (just heard to many bad stories).

    Wheel Spacers - Yea I've heard bad things myself, but I totally understand you putting them on just for the show piece. I had the LCA custom made b/c that was the only way around not having to run spacers.

    Let us know how those Atlas looks and runs. Right now my expos are running great and still look good, but I just got the ARE shell on we will see within a year or two. Would you recommend going relocation mount or will sticking with the stock mounts and Fox shock (same as the ones your run now and before)?

    Sean I love your truck bro, its a big inspiration and a guide for how I want my truck to run.

    Dude awesome Grom!!! I had a stretched ruckus(stock now and for sale) and got another ruckus with a 150cc swap in it. A Grom would be great to mob around.
