    It'd be great to pull that bumper back a couple inches to make up for that extra room in front of and behind the winch. Looks sick though.

    How far will the front axle be put forward after the 3 link?

    Well since putting it on weight watchers (aka pulling off stock spare tire/brackets/rear bumper and hitch) I now don't fit in my garage. So time to pull the factory roof rack off. Ran out of time yesterday so going back to have the rear window tinted, then it'll be limo all around with 40% windshield :D

    Had a little extra time and took off the rear bumper cover. Turns out the rear bumper on these is actually the frame just with a plastic cover
    Thanks to the flash for making it look like crap but I had just painted it so it looks super shiny

    Also got the CB antenna and coax cable run. Just have to install the cb. Antenna comes off to fit in the garage easier, doesn't rub the garage door then.

    Easy. I guess I got lucky, the nut inserts Toyota uses are crap and a lot of people break them, then have to remove the headliner. I put the screws back in with a bunch of silicone so it should be good.

    Hit the snow today, even though it was a day old it was still worth going for the first time this year
    Brought the pup along

    Had to stop here. It got way too skinny for my comfort with the icy snow, and slightly off camber.

    Got in about a foot or so. These Nittos hooked up so well in this crap snow I'm really impressed. Hardly aired down and tread stayed clear the whole time. Usually this icy snow just gums up the tread
