Who likes pictures of 35's on 3rd gens?
Haven't been online here much lately, but I thought I'd share a few updated photos of my truck. The tires are 35x12.5 R15 Interco TrXus M/T's.
Haven't had time to get out on any trails lately, but here are a few parking lot posers. Enjoy!

lift is the Tundra 2WD coils with the top out spacer, about 2.5" of lift, maybe less. The rear is the same old Downey 3.5" springs which have sagged to 2-2.5". That plus a 1.5" BL and some trimmed front fenders, they do not rub, but we'll have to see once I get them off the pavement. I'll have to trim the rear, but not much, just that lip at the bottom of the rear doors.
No diff drop, it doesnt fit with my skid plate.
The gears are 4.88 with a 2.7L. Needless to say, it's pretty slow, but I can maintain 70 on the fwy, the 5 speed helps.

Looks good Casey.
Now come on up and let's hit Rowher.
Actually...let's make a run right after a storm so there's some mud and snow to make things interesting.
I wanna see how them Intercos do, they seem nice.

Thank you all for the kind words!
I haven't been around for a while since I flopped my truck in AZ, not that I am bitter in any way because of it, but it was more of an omen for me to take a little time off and focus more on getting done with school so I can start making some real money.
I can post some pics of the trimming in a little bit, but its really not much, just a little of the fender and some pinch weld flattening. The rear is what is going to need some trimming, but like I said, a very small amount.
As for not SAS'ing it back in the day... at the time there was maybe 1 or 2 who had SAS'd a 3rd gen and let's be honest, they weren't the best SAS's I've seen especially in the last 2 years. Plus, I was wheeling with 2WD, IFS is still 10x better than 2WD. It has taken me everywhere from The Rubicon to Moab, Colorado and Arizona twice and been able to do 4.5/5 trails with minimal problems (except the flop haha). And the swap to IFS was easy, did it in a weekend and spent about $5-7K less than a SAS.
