Lots of trees on that run, Brown's pretty much has it all, rocks, mud and tight trails.

I am jealous of your truck Yeah soon, when you get that thing in and head down here, I talked to one of my brother in law's and he said he might come. Sad thing is he hasn't driven his truck in over a two years, I was the last one to drive it 83 Toyota with 35's dual cases, locked, he goes to Brown's camp about once every other week but takes his quad

Ah yeah I didn't know you had a body lift, it was kind of an impulse buy, I hadn't been planning it really and then when I was looking at my gas tank I thought "I really need to do something about that" and after reading yotarob2005's build, I just bought it.

I picked up a set of wheels today, I have always liked the look of just painted or powder coated plain steel wheels, now I can get rid of my mismatched wheels, have something to mount my Maxxis Bighorn's to and have a spare.

But, now after laying under my truck for a bit and looking at ways it would fit, I don't think I can build this one with the torsion bar mounts in the way, does anybody have pics or ideas of IFS xmembers they made?
check out AxleIke's build thread, he is pretty much the King of IFS wheeling

I actually read his first build thread last night and saw his x member, I was thinking of something similar but I thought it might be kinda weak, but it looks like his held up, so I think that is an option.

Thanks, they are actually Hella F500 lights that I bought for the Subaru that I traded for it and never put them on, so it was the first thing I put on the Yota.

Hey James, just read your thread, really like the look of your truck, in fact it reminds me of another truck I loved the look of. I can't for the life of me remember who's truck this is, I copied it from one of the "post your pics" threads, but forgot to take note of the driver's profile name. It's like your truck only as a 4runner:

I don't know what it is, but the look of those lights beside a blacked out grille makes me smile every time I see the pic, and now again as I look at your truck. Keep up the good work, I'm subscribed.
