dont take it the wrong way, its just i think in the front it is a little too tall. lie its one big skid all the way up. but it definatly gives it a tougher look and better angles and all.

GoodTimes, that 4Runner you have there is looking incredibly good. I highly compliment you on modifying it to the extent that you have, and doing it so well. I just looked at the IFS articulation pics, and I am really impressed (and surprised!) If this doesn't make us all want a 4th gen 4Runner, I don't know what will 
The new bumper looks absolutely kick azz IMO. It compliments that newer front body styling so well. This gives me lots of hope for the newer generation of Tacomas too.

It's always great to hear stuff like this from the veterans in the group I must give alot of credit to Jason for helping me with the front bumper. He's been working overtime to get this project going for me. Boy can he
!! Thanks for everyone for the support and also the knowledge from all the personal sites/forums especially this site
Without you guys, I would have never been able to get this far.

Hey Goodtimes, love the truck! I was wondering how the ATRAC traction control is working out for you on the trail. On the last video there it showed a lot of wheel speed and spining of tires.

The ATRAC works. I wished it was locked instead though but you know it's still better than having open diffs. Considering that my truck is still open front and rear I was surprised that I was able to make it up that trail in the last video. A 2nd gen tried that same trail a few weeks earlier only to fail so Rob and I was very surprised that I was able to make it up
I guess sometimes you just gotta be happy with modern technology.

Ryan: I wish I would have gotten the HUGE wheel stand after that one, but I was getting out of the way and missed it. For some reason, the 2nd gens do one in that exact spot also, but I've never done it in mine. I'm pretty sure we were on the same line, but with different results.

Does your ATRAC work with the center diff locked? Mine has worked on mud and sand, but I can't remember if I had the center diff locked. I also haven't really tested mine on real hardcore hard surafces. WHat has your experience been so far?

ATRAC works all the time. Regardless if you lock the center or not. As for testing on some fun trails, I must say I've survived quite abit I've been able to go where a rear locked 3rd gen has so I must say I'm pretty impressed. 4th gen's don't have the rear locker and we can still manage to go where a 3rd gen locked can go so I'm a happy camper.
With the lift and the better tires (compared to the ol dunflops) along with the new bumper has made my 4runner alot better on the trails. I'm able to take a more aggressive line as well as attack sections of the trail where I knew body damage was prone.
