    nah a member posted the craigslist find on the forum, i pondered it a few weeks and got in touch w the guy it was in Kansas City , im in Dallas. I pulled the trigger and took a road trip , for 350 i though it was a steal, he had it on his truck for 3 months and bought it new and had it painted from toyota, but had to sell the truck.

    Those badges look sharp, nice job. The ride is really nice, stiffer than stock but I like it that way. I added a 1/2'' spacer to the front and that has leveled it out nicely. Ill try to get some pics up soon.

    How much smoother of a ride do you have over stock suspension ? I hate going over most bumps on my truck , but maybe it would not be so bad if i upgraded to your setup. Honestly i think i liked the duratracs on the trd wheel over the method but either way it looks great !

    Its smooth but not as cushy as stock. Takes bumps better thats for sure. Yeah the stock wheels just didn't give the backspacing I wanted and I wasn't going to put on wheel spacers. Got a heck of a deal from 4WheelParts, $577 shipped for all four wheels so I came out pretty good

    What are your rear and front measurements , center hub to top fender? I'm adding the 6112 to mine up from and wheelers progressive in the rear just trying to see which clip I should set them on

    Really?! I measured 22.5 rear w stock. I'd figure the wheelers would add more than that

    Did you add the AAL with or without factory overload?

    AntennaX from Amazon. Fantastic reception, haven't noticed a difference from stock, doesn't hit the garage door, and looks a lot cleaner

    Took a trip to the Windsor Mansion Ruins in Port Gibson, MS this afternoon. Beautiful spot and some interesting history to go along with it.
