You going to post pics on your thread of your buddies 85? .... By the way, you will be getting your trans by the 12th, correct? That means you should have some flex pics up by the 15th? Lol

Very nice ToyoTech! I've been wanting to install Nate's kit for a while...can't bring myself to cut up the front end for an SAS. Just waiting until I buy a house and have time to do the 3.4 swap so I can weld in new front diff mounts while the motor is out (long story).

Have you considered some Bushwhacker flares instead of fiberglass fenders?

I would only want extra coverage up front. I never liked the fender flares mainly cuz I don't wanna drill holes in my original fender. I don't even want glass fenders cuz I like to keep it as stock looking and on the trails I fool everyone that has never seen it in action. After looking at more glass fenders I'm starting to like it. If I didn't keep ripping my mud flaps off on the harder stuff I wouldn't even need fenders cuz they have worked well till they fall off lol.

Bald mountain near Fresno? If so its the same trail that got me started in this hobby. My 1st run was in the snow and I fell in love with snow wheeling now
