    I like these alot. Any chance you could measure the widest part of the side pieces ? I have an AT Habitat and am curious if it will fit underneath its overhang.

    Do you like the bumper? If so, who cares if it's a knock off.

    Made some hefty upgrades to the Tacoma this week...

    Front End:
    OME 887 Coils
    Bilstein 5100's at 0 clip
    Toytec .5" Spacer for driver side
    Toytec .25" Spacer for passenger side

    Superbumps Bumpstops with custom spacer Spidertrax 1.25" Wheel Spacers

    After settling, I've gotten about 3.5" up front and 2.75" in the rear. Measures out to .5" of rake.

    The other Tacoma I'm parked next to has a 2" block lift, for reference.

    Just took my sway bar off. I didn't die. Ride is noticeably smoother.

    Yes there is more body roll but hopefully when FJ transfercase and front diff go in next saturday I'll have some more weight down low.

    Kicker Speakers, 5100's with HS coils and HS AAL, Caliraised 30" LED light bar
    So I have been steadily working on some changes the first of which was a caliraised 30" light bar in the lower bumper. Then I ordered a switch to mount in one of my spare locations for on and off function.

    I also started installing a headstrong 5100 coilover kit all I got left to do is to install the AAL in the rear and the spacer that I forgot to put in on the driverside coilover:facepalm:But it looks good so far. And rides so much better.

    Installed the Body Armor bumper. It ain't the prettiest girl at the dance, but I bought it for functionality. I decided not to install the D-rings for a cleaner look.

    For what its worth, I'm very sensitive to all sorts of noises and rattling in my truck and I'm happy to say the noise from the rack is very minimal. I have the deflector mounted in the lowest position with the noise reducing trim snug against the roof. Based on what I read, that seems to help keep it quiet.

    I am in the process of mounting in the same spot and was trying to figure out what to with the plate! I was over thinking it I guess, this is perfect. Do you have any pics of how you mounted it? Truck looks good man!

    Greased 2 of the lube points on the driveshaft. I still have 3 more but ran out of grease with a borrowed grease gun.

    Guess I need to buy a grease gun?
