    Probably the same place I did. For some reason, there is a very subtle difference in a couple years that bumper is made for.

    Your truck is pretty badass. And you're right, the light color probably won't be good with the holes in the fender.
    I have aspirations of converting mine to 4x4 someday...but on the other hand, a locked rear gets me where I need to go as of now and I just have to many irons in the fire.

    Edit: there is a bushwacker series flare for use if you decide to trim the actual fender just a hair. It will cover the area.

    Thanks. There’s still things I want to do to it in the near future, but like you said too many projects, not enough time and or money :)

    I thought about the bushwacker but they are expensive and is more of a luxury for looks. I know so is my snorkel but that only cost me $86 with some eBay bucks :)

    @Uphillshunter is actually in the works of turning his truck into a 4x4. I’m sure he’ll do a good write up that you can go off of if you decide that route.

    As of right now, the write up is mostly the story of the parts collecting. That will soon change.

    Matt at Recycled Toyotas is going to look around and see if he can source the Trans, Tcase and drive lines. That's really all that is left, that I need. If he can't find something for the right price, I'll try the salvage yard in Reno.

    I need to do this since putting on my Ray 10’s. With my 285 ko2’s, she rubs pretty good. I dropped the truck off this morning to have my Total Chaos UCA’s put on, hopefully that will help some.

    If they are adjustable have them up the caster for better clearance from the pinch weld. I’m going to see if they can max out my SPC UCA to 4 and still be able to get it aligned to spec. People say 2.5 is the sweet spot.
