    New shoes. I've got some BAJA designs lights that will be replacing the stock fogs just need the time to do it.

    What is the easiest way to get at the back side of the fogs? Remove fender liner or in from the top?

    Basically no rub at all. Once or twice in two months while reversing quickly in full lock and hitting a bump at the same time I've experienced minimal rubbing. And then maybe once offroading under similar conditions I have.

    Got the lights from https://www.superbrightleds.com/ and just used the find bulbs by vehicle... But this was the breakdownIMG_1200.PNG.jpg

    Used relentless fabrication mounts. Ordered them powder coated and didn't get anything for 3 weeks... Don't recommend that. Order then bare which they have in stock and either leave them like that, or you can do what I did and get them done at your local powder coater for $5

    Nice idea, doesn't look too bad. Also, are those the LT or P rated Toyos? Pretty much exact wheel tire combo i'm considering.

    I would recommend going through the fender liner. When the wheel is turned to full lock (Driver or Passenger) it makes it very easy to access the factory fog location. Once the liner is pulled back it's a quick removal of the OEM fog and installation of the Squadron Series light and bracket. You can go from the top but it's more difficult unless you remove the front grille. Post up some pics when you get everything installed! We'd love to hear your feedback.

    Thank You,
    Bailey, Baja Designs

    Can't go wrong with TRD bead-locks. Toyos are P-rated-- lighter, or about 10%. However, imo they've done quite well in all conditions, especially snow.

    btw, if you decide on this setup, I'd recommend going with the 265/75/r16s instead of the oem 265/70/r16. Adds about an inch circumference and smoother over bumps.

    I'm in the process of making a tube bumper (with the help of some friends) but I'm trying to decide which one looks better if I should follow the curves of the bumper or just go straight?
    This is just a prototype just to get an idea of how it would look
    Any opinions?

    Just installed the Rough Country 3" lift/leveling kit, really pleased with how it turned out and didn't break the bank.

    Pocketsmcaaron I also sweated out the mpgs on my truck when I put my tires and wheels on but after thinking about the airdam just decided it looked so much better with it off. To be honest I don t think it makes any differance if it does only on the highway. But not 1 mpg
