    Why did you switch from the Aries bull bar to the Avid? I was wanting to just go with a black bull bar but the Avid Bar looks nice too

    Everywhere I looked I started seeing bull bars on tacomas. I got to the point of thinking they were ugly...plus I dinged up that bull bars skid plate pretty good. Avid just looks better IMO and it's much more sturdy.

    Truck looks great. I just went to Icon lift (not resivoirs) and Icon UCAs. I like it alot. Can you take a pic of your exhaust from under the truck to see the Y pipe. I have been holding off doing an exhaust because I really want dual rear like yours.

    Nice! Gonna be a killer build when all is said and done. I noticed you changed your mind over which lift to go with, what made you decide against the RCD 4.5" kit? Just curious because I'm torn between the DB vs. coil overs too!

    Thanks man! I just didn't wanna do something that would be harder to come back from. If I ever decide to sell my toyota I can just put the stock suspension back on without much of an issue. I love the look of the RCD but the cutting aspect of it kinda scared me away. I hear it is an amazing lift for a DB though!

    Got the lift installed. I am extremely happy with the ride quality. The coilovers are currently set at whatever they came from the factory as (no spanner wrench) but I will be getting on and adjusting them to level out with the rear. The rear end with the dakars ride a little stiff but I like it, and it should soften up and settle a bit over time. I cant get over how beefy this kit is. The damn thing rides really smooth at high speeds and even at low speeds. Cant wait to get my timberens in so I can take on something without worrying to much. Before anyone asks, yes I have a carrier bearing drop and I have 0....I mean 0 vibes. I ordered a beefed taco carrier drop and I will install it when I get it just to make sure I stay vibration-less. Hopefully I can get some 33's soon!

    I like the build. I was thinking about getting the N-Fab step bars and was wondering if you would recommend them? Thanks
