The SAS is goin on the 4Runner. I want to LT the truck to have the best of both lol. My buddy has a Skyjacker LT kit down at his yard that he wants to sell me to get me started till I can afford a Blazeland Kit. Not sure if I am gonna get it till I get this other job though. Kinda scraping money together right now lol

Here is a pic of the tires and rims


EDIT: My buddy is also taking one of my spare 3rd's and welding it up today so I will be locked in the rear. Can't wait to get it in and try it out next weekend on our Wheeler Lake trip.
Here is a link to the trail description

Fun trail to run. Ran it in October with snow on it. Had such a blast

PS> I just met this guy down the hill that pulled his rotted out 87 bed and replaced it with 'DOM' Cage.... IT'S SICK! He welded panels in between the bars so it doesn't look like most hollow truggy styles, ya know? SUPER SICK, as a matter of fact. He also used the plates for mounting tabs, etc., to mount all his gear/hi-lift/compressor/tire, etc. I was shocked how reasonably he did this, .....and did I mention HOW SICK IT WAS? HAHAHA. Just a thought, since you have 'welder buddies' and do some yourself, right? He even put this type of aluminum diamond plating(it was the most costly portion of this bed, from what he said).

That sounds pretty sick lol. I have thought about doing something with the rot on the bed but I am not sure what I want to do yet. We all weld halfway decently lol. Just too broke for materials to weld. I do like the box though, just so I can carry all the stuff I need haha. Definitely want to bob it though. Just been lacking the motivation up until here recently

Heck yeah!! I have wanted to lock it for ever now. Just something always comes up to where I can't afford it or what ever but now I can so I'm doin it. Most of my buddies are locked in the rear at least and they love it, and I get jealous out on the trail when they take the line I wanted to and couldn't haha
