    That FJ case cost me $350. Waiting to hear a price from Marlin for a Tacobox. The new spindles, gussets, welding and powder coat will be under $300. The Tacobox plus installation will dwarf those.

    I've been quite happy working with them on a few things and it doesn't hurt that Pablo and Alex are both into wheeling Toyotas. They are trying to specialize more in Toyota off-road stuff as opposed to being a general repair shop.

    They did my lift a while back, as far as a few other folks'. Reviews seem positive.

    Anyone have any experience planning out suspension kit and wheel/tire size combos? I'm wanting to put those iconic 4Runner TRD wheels on but they are 17" and I'm concerned with finding a tire that will fit and if I need a lift kit, how much lift I would need.

    Or I might go with these wheels: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/scs-stealth-6-wheels-17x8-5.238505/

    SCS is great to work with or if you want the look of the TRD Pro wheels but in a better size try the FN Pro wheels. The TRD wheels are 17x7 which is not recommended for a 285/70R17 but the FN is 17x7.5 and will work with the 285.

    How much you looking to spend and what will you be using it for? Tandem Auto does great work and is a toytec dealer so can get you anything you need.

    I'll be picking up the FN Pro's with Cooper AT3 275/70/R17, most likely.

    I think.

    Anyone know why I shouldn't?
