    I've got the rears and the fronts will be in next week. I'm going with Baja Kits UCA. The rest of the parts will be ordered from Wheeler's (Icon Pack, Superbumps, etc.). I already have the TRD SEMA Wheels, in grey, and will pair them up with Falken A/T3Ws.

    Those Fox Shocks make your truck sit perfect!

    They have a new Overland Size slatted for later this year(Tall & Skinny). But, I may put a LT285/70R17 on until then.

    Thanks man, it depends on the trip. If it’s a camping trip I’ll keep a shit load of small things in there (first aid kit, matches, lighters, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc.) I keep 5 smaller plastic bins in there to keep things from moving around and to better organize the space, also to easily remove everything when trip is over. If camping in Sequoia for instance, I can remove all the plastic bins to put inside a bear locker while keeping everything organized. Super OCD! :D

    I'm making a custom decal that reads "ChadsPride Loves This!" lol..... In red of course.

    Honestly night and day from the stock Goodyears. I have not aired them down, so I don't know there full potential just yet. They did perform really well in some muddy inclines in Santa Clarita (off roading in the rain) and the sand got a little deep in Joshua Tree... Love em.

    I wish I could. They are slatted to release a few "expansion" sizes later this summer or early fall.
