    I'd probably rate it a 6-8 out of 10. The reason being is that you should fab up a new cross member. You can skip this part but thats a lot of weight to be unsupported. Also You need to shorten the rear drive shaft and lengthen the front. And cut a hole in your center console to fit the stick through.

    It looks as though it has been done already to an SR5. Wandering how the fancy (transmission and crawl control) computers will work with one of these installed?

    What size trepadors? @BigMike.

    That’s a lot of trimming.
