    I don't know. It was on it when I bought it. Cutting the bumper might be nerve racking but attaching it to the frame is easy. I've had it off to trim more bumper, flares and install my winch. Off and on was very easy.

    Each spot from here to there has it's own beauty. Hit a couple of lakes that were gorgeous. This time of year is perfect since the snow really adds some navigational challenges and contrasting colors with the mountains. Looking forward to exploring the numerous service roads around the area this spring/summer.

    Ps, just picked up a Total Chaos CMC kit. Looking to DIY it over the next few weeks in order to fit some 315's, Fox 2.5's, UCA's, wheels, skids and rear UCA's/LCA's. Will provide pics of my process/work and feedback if you're still looking for a CMC. More than happy to help you do it over a weekend if you want.

    You're awesome. I am absolutely interested in it. Let me know how it goes and anything you'll need on my end to organize this. I haven't welded in about 8 years but I may still be able to throw a mig around here and there.

    Sounds good. Will keep you updated.

    For everyone else, who does good 4x4 alignments? Looking for the GX (T4R essentially). Am doing SPC front UCA's and Dobinsons adjustable upper/lower rear control arms as well. Would like someone that knows how to do proper caster adjustments up front as well as get good alignment (side to side) and pinion angle for the rear.

    No plans as of yet lol. Love the town. Living in a city has a lot of career growth for me. Maybe one day I'll retire there

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    That is off one of our other Tacomas, but yes the front is off and I just need to pull the rear shocks out of it still. We're headed down to AZ tomorrow for Overland Expo but once we're back I'll make a point of getting the rears unbolted if you still want to pick them up :)

    Pretty convenient to be able to look at a line up a hill while riding my bike and go “I think my truck could make that” 6F6B2D78-7E92-461B-860A-0C1AE4838818.jpg
    Only thing left it had was to drop another 6-8 psi though. 4 lo and locked at about 18 psi did the job. I stopped cus it got too off camber for me to trust since I’m a baby. The reader thing on the truck was almost maxed out for lateral tilt and was about to get worse.
