    Two weeks ago I busted the rear Diff pulling out a F150 outta a snow bank, when I forgot to release the Ebrake. D'oh! so this is how the build will start she has much in her future.

    The Truck as it stand right now, is basically a stock TRD sport DCLB. All I have have done is put on a new WARN V8000 winch with the original mount from my old 4Runner refurbished, using CBI Off road's 2nd gen Tacoma High Clearance Front Receiver Hitch, run the electrical to front and back which allows me to put the winch on the front or the back. Some good winter tires, tool box in the box, and two ammo cans for extra dry storage.

    In the works:

    -possible duel yellow top Optima's

    -Fix the diff, having some minor issues with this right now as my original option of an older 07 LSD got sold on me. So going the ARB air locking kit route.

    Down the road:

    -possible 3 inch or 4.5-5 inch lift haven't fully decided yet as I plan to start hunting again and as far as off roading it will be fairly tame, mostly a DD but I want the ability to go places for hunting if need be.

    -rock sliders

    -skid plates

    -general upgrades all round

    Pic's to follow, and thank's for reading!

    So as it stands I have paid for the following
    - a brand new rear end from Toyota(mine was not salvageable nor could I find one with even remotely low km on it)
    -An ARB air locker with install kit

    So for now I'm just waiting on parts to come in. No I am not doing the install myself this time around, to bloody cold to much snow and I have been outta the DIY game for to long to be comfortable doing it myself this go round, once my garage is set up this summer I'll ease my way back into it.
