Looks good.
Beadlocks are not illegal anywhere. They are not legal anywhere either.
I have some really sweet streetlocks from OMF as well.
If you are thinking of buying fake ones, please do. That way those of us with real ones can get off the hook.

Really, truck looks good.
Schaefer's rig worked tits that low with IFS too.
Perhaps beadlock discussion deserves another thread, but I got rear-ended out here and the cop made an effort to say nice wheels when he was looking over my truck.

I have a brand new BFG 35/12.5/17 sitting right next to my brand new spare Maxxis 305/70/17 and they are damn near exactly the same height and width (maybe 1/8" off at most). Both tires are mounted on 8" wide rims as well.

The Maxxis advertises 34.0 Tall, the BFG 34.8...

Just wondering what everyone thought of having such big tires, I want to do it but I'm afraid of more damage to joints bearings cv's brakes etc due to the heavier mass. Whats everyones experiences, pro's con's. Thanks!

If your not a skinny pedal junky, and dont spin the tires to much when they are in the air and come down on it you should be fine is what I have gathered.

As far as bearings.. I dont think its an issue. 3rd gens do have sealed bearings, so they might wear sooner. But on my 92 I just repack em every year in amsoil grease and they are fine.
You do notice it braking thou.. and I have 4runner brakes on my p/u.

I think my front bearings are going. I hear a "squeek squeek squeek" now. I have no idea how to fix the squeak though, its driving me nuts!
