I didnt touch the torsion bars. I left them at stock height. So the front sits exactly 1.5 inches above stock.

I went to look at my reciet for the backspacing on my wheels but it doesnt show. Im almost positive that they are 4.50 in back space. Theres no rubbing at all. It clears the upper control arms with room to spare. The wheel are 15x8.

I went topless for the first time yesterday, first time the forecast says more than 3 consecutive days without rain!

I'm more than impressed with the breeze!! enough to deal with the cold at 330am doing 75mph down the highway..

I have to admit though, I am glad I don't have a nice paint job on mine.

Bumpers look awesome, I'll be going with that same rear bumper also.

Wife called this morning:

Wife: What the hell is this big tube thing sitting on the front porch? The FedEx guy just left it there.

Me: Why honey, that would be my new Marlin Crawler rear bumper, can you drag it into the garage for me so the neighborhood kids don't steal it and turn it into a skateboard jump?

Wife: What have you been smoking, I'm not dragging that thing into the garage, it must weigh 100 lbs!

Me: Oh, not that much, just put a piece of cardboard under one end and drag it in there.

Wife: You aren't planning on spending all weekend in the garage working on your 4Runner again are you? You were up till 1:00 AM Wednesday putting that front bumper and winch on there.

Me: Oh no honey, the rear is a 5 minute bolt up, max, I won't be out there all weekend.......
