    Hey guys, long time browser, first time poster.

    Thought I'd start by recognizing all the other contributors here. Been scouring through the posts the last year figuring out what would be the best setup for my needs. Thanks a bunch for all the detailed build threads!

    Have owned my 2005 TRD short bed double cab since 2006 but just started adding mods this year. I mostly use it as a daily driver but like to go looking for remote camp spots across the western deserts and forests. For the most part the stock TRD met my needs for the first 130k miles.

    Here's what I got now:
    • Icon stage 5 suspension with billet UCAs, minus the add-a-leaf pack. Set at about a 2.5" lift
    • Allpro standard leaf pack (comes at 3" lift)
    • Timbren rear bump stops with Allpro u-bolt flip kit
    • ARB front bullbar
    • Warn M8000S winch
    • BFG KO2 285/75/16 tires on 16" wheels with 4.5" backspace
    I'm not a mechanic, I don't own my own shop, I don't fabricate custom brackets (Barlowrs!!!)... Well you get the idea. My main concern: keep it simple, make it reliable, and make sure it does the job. Loving the new setup!

    Here she is... in the Mendocino National Forest
