    Damn Andy, lot's of progress here. I just had to swap out my TJM control box because the wireless remote stopped spooling in.
    Looking good, you will def love the 4.56's :) Still need to catch up. Hopefully once I get my spindle gussets ordered we can get together. Oh and the forklift guy, he must have thought he was an off roader or something, lol.

    Thanks Bobby. I love 4.56 with these tires. The nittos are heavy and I expected the mpg drop but I love the setup. I can't wait to test them out after the 4x4 conversion.

    Dude, pretty nice. What brand did you go with? I plan on throwing a cooler on my gas can carrier attachment for URE. Just not the same though, lol.

    Finally got the new shocks mounted. These are '07+ tundra 0-3" lift rear shocks, same specs as the the Tacoma 2.5-3.5" lift shocks that Wheelers sells, but $100 cheaper. Had to shave the lower bushings and sleeve to fit in the axle mount. Rides pretty good with the stiff all-poo springs.

    I finally have some down-travel, I just need to check the bumpstop distance.

    ROR. I had stock bumps that were cut down about 1" +/-, they came on teh ubolt flip plates I got from Lurr. They were about 1/2" from the frame with 3/4" shaft showing, as far as it would stuff with the bed empty. 3" between the ubolt plate and frame pad so I'm cutting these new mounts to fit but I allowed a smidge more shock compression.
