    And this is how it appeared fairly soon after we purchased it in August of 2018.

    Looks great!

    I want 285’s but didn’t think I could put on the TRD 7” rim

    What made you choose the AVS over the other brands out there?

    Post some interior pics...curious about your ham set up!

    I've not noticed any lack of braking ability with the 285s and rock sliders. So far so good.


    I chose AVS based off of price, availability and reputation. It's holding up well, so no complaints.

    I'm actually going to work on installing my HAM radio today and tomorrow. I've been holding off doing it until I had everything else I wanted to run wires for behind the dash and under the carpet, so that I'd only have to take it apart once.

    I'll post some pics when I'm done. :)

    Do your Baja Design Sports have a small gap where the original fog lights were tight up against the holes in the bumper?

    Nice looking set up. I like your floor jack, especially the extension on the piece that raises up. Is that custom built or come that way?

    Nothing yet, but things are coming.
    New to the area. Just bought my 4Runner over the weekend and looking to see if there are any fun trails in the Franklin area.
