    Yeah,I think 37" and 20" bead locks will have a nice ratio of rubber to metal. We shall see how the truck likes it though.

    Plans for them too. Might do the 4 runner break mod. Or just the EBC super street.

    Going to update the break system to the higher dot rating. Instead of the 3. There are some that did it in the EBC thread

    I have a year to decide on front bumper and my plan is to match my Pelfrey rear I'm getting in a couple weeks with a Pelfrey front. But there is just something bout a color matched ARB front bumper... I think it would look good color matched on my truck.

    I have to admit...I have a Pelfreybilt and love it, but Skygears ARB looks awesome!. Especially color matched...

    Truff it really does! Yours is legit too! I think I realized color match really looks sick on lighter colors. I'd say pyrite mica is on the darker side and can be just as dark as black in some light. Might stick with a black Pelfrey. But still love the above photo.

    Thanks, form and function. I realize they aren't going to modernize this bumper at all and still went with it. Would have loved it in Aluminum, and with LED cutouts for bars, and lastly, maybe a stepped filler plate for those of us with Hawse fairleads instead of rollers.

    Will be going HCRB and color matching that too. Side ladders, fender bars, and then black sliders.

    Don't apologize... Your truck is freaking awesome...:)

    Btw...I just ordered the Front Runner roof rack today. Curious how you mounted your light bar on the front of yours? Standard mount point? Or bracket required?

    I drilled holes. They sell the mount plates though. Bolt on application.

    Badass build man, love the color matched ARB for sure! I actually stumbled onto this one from Expo Portal reading reviews of 12V Fridge/freezers....and then onto the fuse blocks you make! You certainly have my attention haha. In light of the fuse blocks, do you have a dumbed down version of how they work somewhere?:eek: I understand they look clean as hell but after looking at pics I guess I'm still confused as to where we wire in the accessories to that block and then what wires are running off of those accessories to the switches that makes it so easy for install?
