    No, this is just stock with stock size BFG KO2's. I'm pretty happy with the look and am confident it will go everywhere I need to too

    i love how the box is the same height as the wheel well/shelf. I would get one just for that reason! I have a few for tools I should see if it works as well with the sliding tray, I bet it will be high.

    It is actually an inch or so higher, but it does fit very nicely

    Thought of testing the HVAC temperature. So far it seems not too off. Just about 1F difference..

    Your stance looks great. I just picked ours up Saturday after ordering in April. I'm still on stock tires and my stance looks emaciated compared to yours. I am used to my 2013 Tacoma on aftermarket wheels though.

    JBA. 4.7 on caster. Really glad I had them installed with the Eibach 2.0 kit. Smooth as can be.

    I am also happy with SPC's. Been great. I went with SPC because they are a pretty easy repair/replace if you ever needed to on the trail. I have installed SPC's, JBA's, Icons etc and never had issues with SPC, JBA or even the Arb during install. (I had an issue with one set of Icon's but that seemed to be a fluke.)

    When it comes to JBA do most of y’all buy the HD set? I had lots of problems with my SPCs. Long story short they sent me new bushings cause mine were making noises. Thanks

    The SPCs had bushing issues in 2019/2020. They have corrected some problems. They’re notorious for being very difficult to deal with. It was pulling teeth to get my refund when my bushings shit the bed in my Tacoma. They’ll blacklist a dealer if they sell the UCAs less than they say

    We just got the front windows tinted at 35% and added the chrome side rails (nerf bars). Next will be a 2 inch lift in front. Thinking about larger tires...20220920_170842 (1).jpg

    Good to know SPC has been having issues! Ive never had to deal with warranty but they used to be easy to deal with. Hope they get it together!

    I used to be a mechanic then flipped careers and now I just do side work out of my shop in the backyard. That being said, I have installed at least 30-40 of them haha. It is pretty straight forward. The remover tool is a must (it can be done without it but it is not worth the frustration). The installer tool they sell now takes the guess work out of it so highly recommend it. There are a ton of videos out there on the job. It can be done by just pulling the two lower bolts on the lower ball joint and popping the tie rod ends, removing the bump stop and just swinging everything out of the way. It is fast but not necessarily easy. A little more work but easier is to to the same thing but remove the caliper and wire it up, you can also pull the axle from the hub but that is a lot more work that is not worth it in my opinion. Also, always replace the seal.

    their’s enough flex to pull the axle out of the diff without removing from it from the hub? Then do you just move it to the side? Is it still easy to push/tap it back into the diff? If you have any pics with it removed like this, please post! Seems like a less putzy method compared to the usual ways Ive seen in the varios vids.

    Yep, with a little creativity it can be done. You pull it out then go up with the upper control arm and snake the axle end between the frame and the lower (that's why you remove the bump stop). I have another one coming in on Oct 6th. I will do a write up with pics similar to what I did with my BudBuilt slider install.

    Drove the 4Runner to the local dealership to order a 2023 Sequoia Limited OR. Maybe I'll see the new vehicle in the Spring of 2023. I guess it's ok. It will give me time to figure out if it makes sense to keep the 4R. The main factors at the moment that has me leaning towards selling the 4R is the price of the new sequoia and the overlap in capabilities of the 2 vehicles for my use.

    When I had my new tires put on the shop had them filled to about 50psi. Dropped them to about 35psi and it rides nice and smooth now.

    These are the additional angles I owe you of the box. Not much fits in there but it's still usable space. The second picture shows the 80/20 that goes from the back seat anchor to the top of the bottom box and then the mattress gap before ending and anchoring the top shelves. While maybe no interest to you, I added the driver rear door access and how a temporary 80/20 is used to secure the slats to extend the bed. When not in use that single piece is secured under the pegboard in the box behind the driver seat (not sure if you can make out the three brass screws on the pegboard, those secure that 80/20 piece). The last picture is extra, and what I did today--move the outlet to the inside so that it can be used while the hatch is closed. Hope that helps. If you have other questions let me know.
