Wow, this is such an amazing build. Nothing is over the top, everything has a function and purpose and isn't solely for looks. Your build is what I want to do; shame I have no money for any mods right now (good thing I still think the stock truck is incredible!). I love how you didn't raise it too high - everything just looks perfectly fitting to the wonderful regular cab Tacoma. Bravo to you and the vendors who helped you, and thanks for posting all this information!

A question for you, though: why did you Rhino line the composite bed?

Rhino wanted to test it out, it has worked great as it really keeps stuff from sliding around. Thanks for the compliments!

Was down in Borrego for a shake down and the truck worked great! Nice to get a cold beverage out of the ARB fridge no to deal with ice. Traveled from Coyote Canyon over to Split Mtn. It was an awsome first trip out. Haven't decided on what type of tent to go with so we slept in the FJ for the night. The picture of both vehicles below is in Split Mountain.

MAN THAT TRUCK BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!

So did you ever regear yet and does your tires rub any?
I am installing my OME (885) this week and still trying to decide on 235's or 255's. I thinkin mine should set up about the same height has yours or at least I'm hoping.

Thats good to know about the tires. I'll also be running the stock steelies, like yours and the km2's. I'll be going with the demollo bumper but without the loop, love the way the bumpers look.

Also, do you know the measurements from the center of the front hub to the bottom of the fender? Trying to get an idea where your taco sets compared to mine with the 885 springs?

Ended up changing the tires out and got some of the General Grabber red letters, they sure handle better with less noise. They are 285/75/16's have a bit of rubbing with the stock rims, will get some wheels w/ the right offset and that won't be a problem. Here's a few pics;
