Those rims don't do it for me, I wish yota would have put a lil more 3rd gen influence into them. Nevertheless, I really like where you're going with your rig, it's looking great!

I'd have to say that, with a little bit of 'up-armour', perhaps a turrent (sunroof) and the U.S. Military should be loosing the 'hummer's' and taking on this rig!

manager prolly just ment you shouldnt be taking your runner off road YET.. i assume the engine and stuff needs a few miles to seat everything and they suggest varying the revs and blah blah for some many miles..


that is one bad ass runner and obviously it should be used off road its the trail edition..what kinda bumpers you getting?

I agree with both of yall, so I bought a set of 17" alloys off an FJ cruiser and took them to the powdercoater last week to get them coated in a dark gray metallic color. I had to special order the powder so im still waiting for that to come in, but I think I will have the wheels on my truck by the end of the week. Pics will be the first thing I do.

I am still not sure about the bumpers, shrcokworks built a prototype bumper and it looks alright and I am not totally sold on it and ARB has theirs out but again, im not totally sold on it either, so It is still a waiting game. I sadly dont have any good rock shops near me in NC so going custom on my own is not really an option.

Here is a crappy cell phone pic the the new wheels and painted rear emblems. I will take some better pictures with my nikon soon, as well as some other write ups for things I have done.

We do have some SFA, diesel, armored Landcruisers. They're pretty nice but 90% of them are for civillian contractors.

Sliders are in the mail as we speak...

Rear bumper and tire carrier is in the works (currently in cardboard/CAD stages) and I should be getting full skids around that time as well...
