Good so far. It's amazing how little these trucks have really changed through the years.

Looks good man! I'm thinking about painting my skid plate. Love how that plastidip looks. It would probably be easier to touch up after it scrapes off as well.

I don't know what your plans are for wheeling, but a suggestion for those 5160s, add bump stop extensions, even if you do any desert driving at medium speeds. The shock will bottom out and before you know it, they'll be covered in oil (I've gone through 3 pairs......)

I'm going to look into that for the 5100s on my t4r. I plan mostly mid-low speed desert running in mine. Thanks.

I have been thinking about 6112 + 5160. Please provide some feedbacks and reviews!
BTW, your roof rack rails should be "black". ;-)

Enjoying the 6112's & 5160's.
Ride is nice and soaks up the harsh bumps and handles nice on the road and off road.
So much better than the OEM Tokico's and even better than the TRS/Bilstein Off Road Suspension I have previously installed from a FJ Cruiser.
I can't compare to 5100's but understand no comparison there as well.

Your sliders are tacked together. Im going to add the gussets and weld them all up today, so they'll be waiting on you when you have time on Friday!

Sorry for the thread jack, Saker.
You shouldn't have a problem with the 5100s, I never did. The 5160s allow a little bit more travel over the 5100s.
