    1997 t4r has super duty axles, 5.13s locked front and rear. 3 link front with 14" kings. Rear 63s.
    Fender skins are on mostly. One is tacked the other is sitting in place. Not to weld them up finish welding the rear gate, and start paint again.

    Is it centered? Angle looks off from that vantage point. Assuming it is correct though :thumbsup:

    It's the angle. It's centered. The top bar is 16". I marked it at 8" and centered it with the 2x2 you can see from the metal pulling.

    No problem. Angles can throw things off.

    Thanks man. It's definitely a upgrade from legos I had when I was a little fella.

    That's the plan. Scuff it up real good self etching primer then paint it flat black. Fenders will be flat black as well.

    Welded tabs onto each corner of the rack for the flood lights I got off Amazon. Will be running a deep cycle in the tool box along with a fuse box and the switch panel. Will have lights under the rtt to shine in the trailer also.

    Solar charger will be placed in the lid and once I figure out a cooking situation I will add a tank also have a 20lb co2 tank I will be mounting along with mounting drinking water tanks and spare fuel tanks.




    Also I've flattened these tacoma springs and may end up putting bags or Dakar springs on. As of right now I had 4" of up and now I only have about 2"s. Still have more weight to add. If I go bags I can use he co2 to fill and lower it when I get to camp.

    Have to get something to pull the gap a little or I may just get some rubber Mat and secure it to the fenders and trim to fit it snug.

    Paint I almost done. Painted the tool box and have a hole cut for the switch panel

    Forgot to add it's tagged and It weighs 1220 with the awning and rtt. No batter, spare or gear. Will definitely be adding a add a leaf ir putting some stiffer springs on to handle the weight.

    Pulls great
