    So glad I read this build thread. While I'd rather get an FJ, this is how I'd want to do a tacoma, especially the rear end.

    Went to Barstow with a good buddy of mine for the annual Poker Run, raise $ for Toys for Tots. No action shots. Run was a slow run and our group were stuck behind jeepers.

    Had to hit the hodge road gap before we left. Rear tires didnt clear the last part of the road, but had to call it a day before something "happens" lol

    More of my buddy's pictures here I am quite impressed with DMZ's Spring Under Kit. I can not explain how plush the rear suspension is. Sometimes i wish i had my old 10pack deavers on so I can relive those asspucker moments =P I truly believe that after getting the rear done, offroading has been alot safer, just as long as I drive within the trucks limit. I can do a steady 45mph down some sections in barstow and not even buck. Those who've been to barstow know how gnarly it is. Now that Ive had a few good trips on this rear kit I can confidently say that this SUA kit kicks ass and Im very satisfied with it. More tuning is in order, so things will get even better.

    Been building this truck up since i was 19 and now im 26, so its come a long way. The front limits me now and Im saving up for some lift spindles. Updates will continue. thanks

    Yeah they are the glassworks bumper cut out. They were just re-glasssed before we painted it.

    haha so you're familiar with the phrase "hit it one more time!" lol BAck when there was alot of barstow runs with customtaco guys. Somebody always broke something after hitting the jump "one LAST time" hahaha Then we sat for another hour fixing it

    Ok, so I'm looking to get the XD Enduro in 17", but I can only find them in 5" backspace. I was wondering if you had any fitment issues with yours? Are yours 5" backspace? Did you have to run wheel spacers?
