Every once in awhile I'll hear a rock fly up and clunk but haven't noticed anything specifically from rocks flying up. It's not totally apparent in the photos but my truck has its fair share of chips and scratches from tight trails and what not. I don't totally neglect it but i'm past the point...

Haven't been on here in awhile. Finished up my CBI DIY Tacoma Bumper. Threw some cheap LEDs on for good measure. I don't know if I'll keep them for too long. I think I'd like some Squadron Sports. Next up is a winch and some amber dust/fogs...and sliders.

I actually live in the west valley but we visit northern AZ pretty often.

Over the past week I wrapped up my front end overhaul with new lower control arms. Took a little trip up to Lockett Meadow In Flagstaff. Nothing crazy as far as wheeling goes. Just some highway miles and forest service roads to get a feel for the new front end. Feels fantastic. Also, got to test...

Been doing a lot over the past couple months including new Icon suspension/lift, Camburg UCA's, new battery and front end overhaul (LBJ's, inner, outer tie rods and steering rack). Today my new Wheels and tires went on. Level 8 Bully Pro wheels and Falken Wild Peak M/T in 285/75-16. Next up is...

I pieced together my own Icon lift with front 2.5 inch non resi coilovers and 2.0 rear shocks with reservoirs for a 4th gen and camburg upper control arms. I think it was around $2400. Like others have said you're also going to want to get rear extended brake line, adjustable pan hard bar or pan...

Well I got the battery box in. I'm not sure if the battery tray I received is a new model or just the wrong one but it's definitely different than the picture on their site and different then 4x4runner2002's. I didn't realize until after I got it installed. With some modifications it fits so I...

Sweet. I ordered one last night. The specs of the platinum and the gold that I got are pretty similar. Shouldn't have to do anything with wires as my battery is a 34r and has the terminals reversed. But I'll probably end up doing the big three at some point soon anyway. Thanks for the info man.

The Die Hard I got is actually the "Gold' AGM. As far as I know they don't make the platinum anymore. This is the one: Sears.com I'm just wondering if that battery box will fit my battery as well. I just cruised through your build. Didn't see the battery box but your truck and trailer is sweet.

I just got a new Die Hard AGM group 34 battery and was actually looking at the Chassis Unlimited battery boxes as well. Which box and battery are you running? Cheers!

They make a 1st gen Tacoma bumper that I'm kind of diggin. I like the simple design. Wondering if it'll fit on our 4Runners with modifications like the Trail Gear and the All Pro Apex bumpers. Here's the link. Toyota Tacoma Front Winch Bumper 1995-2004 - Toyota Armor - Trail Armor & Bumpers -...

I certainly will. Right after I get done with some front end suspension work. just sitting there waiting. Like good little soldiers.

This is awesome. I literally just ordered a set of these about 10 minutes before I saw this. Glad your review on them was positive. I went with the 285/75/16 flavor.

HiLife, you're the man! Thanks again!

I know this is an old thread but I'm wondering if you ever found the part numbers for the diff mount bushings? Did you end up having to buy the whole bracket? I'm looking to replace the bushing and bottom most washer/spacer.
