    Put over 1000 miles on mine this weekend. Barely even noticed the 4k lb trailer, even in the snow/ice. Feels good to get the first of many trips done for this move...

    Went out for a day at the lake. Got off the beaten path a bit and the doggos had a blast...

    That's nice. I hate having a wired controller and having to run it through the window. Have been contemplating getting a new winch with wireless controller, but this could be a happy medium.

    Had no plans for the weekend, so the wife and I decided to do some impromptu exploring and camping. Have Coastal skids, SPC UCA's, CMC kit, wheels, tires and coilovers planned in the next few weeks so I have to get it out before it lays up in the garage for a bit...

    Got the rears done, finished the CMC and prepped/painted the frame. Making progress, but still a ton to get done...

    Nicely done!

    :rofl:

    Didn't even know there was a GX section here!

    Guess I can post this here from when I added bluetooth to the factory stereo -

    Didn't realize this thing needed a CMC for larger tires. Is the plate the same size for 2nd or 3rd Gen Tacomas? Maybe 4th or 5th Gen 4Runners?

    If so, I can just cut multiple plates out on my table and offer the job to locals.

    I went with the Total Chaos kit. Knowing what I know now, I would have gone with a different kit. Stolen from another thread, but this is they style you want.

    Easy enough.

    I wouldn't do more than just tires; this thing is going to be a pavement princess considering it won't have as much travel anyway.

    I knew they shared suspension, wasn't sure about the CMC.

    Thanks! Looks like I'll have a part to make several batches of for future jobs.
