I ended up getting these from a fellow forum member for a lot better price than the dealer so it all worked out.
They kind of look like Xterra step rails.

It is 6" in the middle and it arches to 7" on each side.

I got it done at Diamond Tinting on Miramar Rd.

They are almost the same, I would say very minor differences. Here are some of the modifications you have to make to the xterra steps to make them work: xterra step modification

Yeah, it's even honda civic friendly. It's actually in Lakeside by lake jennings. I ran it the first time with my stock susp. and took the hard lines, did fine. Then as I added susp parts I used the area as a testing grounds. It only takes like an hour to check out the whole area and look around, you sure you only want to run it on the weekend?
Spdrcr- do you have the rear locker? Marc P wants to go offroading soon, and I just ran Carvacre(one of our favorites) with just my rear locker on. Just to see if it could be done, my friend is going to add a locker to his 2wd and was wondering.
That is a more fun trail, about 10mi long and has a cool mini Moab section in the middle.

4.88 and ARB air locker coming very soon............

do you use the ARB compressor to fill your tires? I have a feeling I am going to use it alot because low air pressure is going to be my friend when trying to get as much traction (footprint) as possible.

Sounds like a cool trail (even better that its very close too!). Weekends better suits me as well; let me know when it'll work out for yall and I try to make it. As far as my rig, it is equipped w/ the e-locker (saved my arse couple of times!)
I hope to get my new Bridgestone Revos AT soon before we go to replace the POS Rugged Trails.

I ran my BALD grantrek dunlops(stock tires) for awhile on alot of tough trails, the locker definitely made up for them and then some!
Don't let the rugged trail tires hold you back, I'll get ahold of marc and maybe we can run carvacre next weekend. Bring Nolan with you, He can leave his truck near the other trail while we're on carvacre(he can ride shotgun), and when we're done with carvacre we can take him on the other trail so he can drive in the dirt too.

where'd ya get that skidplate?

I did a search a while ago on the skid plate and found a part number that the dealer either cannot find or charges 300-500 bucks for. What did you pay for it, do you have a part number, where'd you get it? -Bruce

Yes I use the ARB to fill tires in both the 4Runner and FJ-62.

I got it for a lot cheaper than those prices through Andrey who I think HAD a contact at a dealer. I doing think he can get them for that price any more though but ask him.
