    I've never liked those wheels, but they sure look good blacked out on your truck.

    Here is my bumper built by Landcruiser NW

    Most definitely not haha. It'd suck the life right out of it trying to turn those down the highway.

    Holy crap batman!! That's a ways to get to school!!

    I think most guys running 35's and 4 banger are throwing in 5.29's or even 5.38's.

    Ill be going to 5.29's even with the V6. I don't new to scream down the highway haha

    For those of you interested in my bumper, here are a couple more shots and angles. Feel free to PM me more questions if you get them.

    You can see how it ties into my skids here:

    Here's the relocatable winch plate without the winch on it:

    Hey Timmy,

    So, the bumper is bolted to the frame in 6 places. You can kind of see them here:

    P1020523_b49faaf4aee50f5b9e918e411fdf71ecc4627126.jpg

    and here:

    IMG_2339_8d0c344881c8b3136e618833b2cf4af73d1656cf.jpg

    I've got a bunch more pictures on the first page of my build thread but, basically, I use the two vertical tubes to tie to the frame. 4 bolts are tied through a flat sleeved interface below the vertical tubes and 2 are tied via plate that semi boxes the frame in front.
