Truck looks great man! Those 35s tuck in nicely must have been some serious moments with the grinder and a hammer glad the norcal mod worked out

Thanks! I'm pretty excited about it myself! Hopefully more to come soon

Awesome build man I have been designing something very similar glad I stumbled upon this thread gives me more motivation to make it happen

I was able to reuse the original swing out with one minor modification for fitment and here she is in all her glory on St. Patrick's day before I headed up to ski for the weekend A little slice of heaven from yesterday! Cheers! Kevin

UPDATE! I have been super busy lately working 6-7 days a week with little time to myself. However I have found some time here and there to build not one but 2 rear bumpers for my truck. I wanted something high clearance with a swing out that could take abuse and after being rear ended I wanted...

My mom had an 06 Highlander hybrid and I always thought that it would make a sweet exploration rig with a mild lift bigger tires and some bar work! (And a way to turn off the intelligence in 4wdi and have it be a true 4wd not a computer deciding what tire got power)

I kinda wish I had gone for 35s but the 285s are great for the DD...I'm working tomorrow or I'd try to meet up for the run have a blast maybe I'll get in on the next one, I gotta set up a tacomaworld account I do a lot of reading on there but have never set up an account

The treadwright seem to be holding up great! I've put about 7k on them and they have not skipped a beat, the treads are holding up still like new I'd say and they run great in this snow we are getting too. I am really happy with them can't wait to get them back on the trail soon!

Thanks wrenchmonkey...that's a sweet tundra you have going!

Here are a couple pictures of the last project before I sold her off! Desert style high clearance rear bumper with the bed sides chopped

I actually sold the truck this summer for a tacoma (back to toyota!) I have a few updates from before I sold her I can throw together a few pictures for ya. If you have any questions ask away I'll do my best to answer em for ya! Good luck on your build!

Awesome taco not usually a fan of white but yours looks great!

I did indeed end up going with Treadwright Guard Dogs in a 285/70/R17 i love them so far they are a bit noisy around 35-40mph but you don't here them once you hit highway speeds. they are very well mannered in the dirt with a few pounds of air let out. more adventures on the drawing board right...

A few updates on the truck! First off tires! And a shot of them mocked up And finally mounted! The refurbished FJC rims really changed the look of the truck and the tires have already proven themselves during the first annual JD Wilderness Fest! (An event me and a few buddy's put together...
