    Truck is back from the shop and I couldn’t be happier. New 4.56 gears, Lockers front/rear, and fenders trimmed back 2.5”. Thanks yet again to Jake and Adam at @559 MOTORSPORTS for the awesome work!

    Niiice, i gotta find a new source for bumpers now but you really are my inspiration/testing grounds. Good thing my broke ass has gotta wait a few years before i can do anything so i can wait for feedback from your purchases lol

    Looking forward to hearing how you like those 4.56s with the bigguns

    I still got those 5100’s laying in my garage for ya! Lol we’re you saving up for a Pelfrey bumper? If you got any questions, don’t hesitate bud :D So far the new gears feel good with the 285’s. Probably gonna get the new tires for Black Friday haha. Currently touching up the new 4Runner calipers!

    Shiiiit, i cant even afford them coils, let alone a front bumper right now lol (working on paying off ALL my debt before i spend any more money on anything)

    Been sorta regretting NOT getting an access cab, but I see lifted DCLB's around and think "hey, that looks fuckin good" so, see'in you do ALL the things to yours also gives me faith. Regear, lockers and dirty5's are probably 5+ years out for me, someday...

    I had so much silicone on one side to secure the wires running down the weather channel of the windshield hahaha had to remove as much as I could before bringing it in.
    Tonight will hopefully be the night the new brakes go on and @mesojdm done light gets installed as well as reinstalling the ditch lights and securing the wires again.

    Those upgraded brakes will be nice. I have shitty autozone pads and rotors on mine, yet weight 1,100 lbs over stock (roughly). I legit dunno if I could even lock the tires up :eek:

    Well done sir! So much inspiration, so many mods, so little money....one day though! :fingerscrossed:

    Curious, do you have pics of the interior? Interested to see how you mounted you're various switches for lighting, etc.

    Thanks man! I don't think I have any pics on my phone of the current setup, but I'll take a few for ya tonight if I get the chance! I used up all 6 spots to the left of the steering wheel as well as a SPod panel in the sunglass holder and soon going to be putting in cab winch controls next to the cup holder!
