    I was able to tuck it right to the left of the winch, just had to "make" a bracket to hold it there (drilled some holes in a piece of aluminum). Had to use it yesterday, worked well.

    I have a steel skid up front and the fuel. Really concerned about the other low spots.

    Oh man, you're my new best friend lol. What did you do to get those to fit OK? and what fender flares are those? Right now I am 285/70/17, I want exactly what you have.

    The PO did all the hard work. He had Tacoma take off shocks with a spacer lift, body mount chop, SPC uca, and some fender trimming. They are the stock flares. I forget what rear springs he did.
    And then I bought it and ripped it all out lol. But the fact he did all that work, had the wheel spacers already installed that I needed to run this Dual shock TC set up, made it a lot easier. I was still rubbing a good bit on compression so I added the BL and new bushings over a year ago. I still rub the dual shock support tube and the coilover reservoir at full lock but I have adjusted my turning habits.
    To make them work you really need aftermarket UCAs, and an alignment tech that can think past the factory specs. Some of them either won't or just can't seem to grasp the concept of +3.5 to +5 caster to move the whole assembly forward away from the rear of the fender well. But that's what gets you started, then BMC. You have the off road bumper so that allows the clearance for moving your caster forward without major fender trimming. You have wheel spacers to be able to run the LCAs right? That helps with turning radius with the bigger tires.

    Yeap, the good thing is that these wheels pull out 5/8" without spacers.

    Howdy from Texas, just purchased my new baby this week after about 7 years of looking. I believe she is on a 2.5 supreme leveling kit and is running 34s? I'm not sure as I am new to lift kits and everything else that has to do with modding. But I absolutely love the way it looks and it drives like a dream. I do think down the road I want to get some better shocks and maybe lift another .5in. Its probably going to be a while before I get to do much to her but she'll do for now. Oh she'll do just fine.
    Going to a little spot tomorrow to see what kindof trouble I can get into and get some better shots

    Took her out for a little stretch sunday, sucked in a bunch of clay/mud into the radiator (now I know I need some splash guards!) so she got a little hot on the way home, but cleaned her out and topped off coolant and she's back to normal. Overall extremely happy with my new (to me) purchase. Didnt find anything she couldn't get over or through. I did however notice a little bit of grease from the front passenger CV but nothing major.IMG_20200622_121426_625.jpg

    Hey guys! It's been a hot minute since I've posted! I took a trip to CO for 4 days of wheeling and camping. I tested my 2Runner on the rocks and did moderate trails. I learned alot about the capability and enjoying nature. I did breakdown going home to KS and my driver's side front wheel bearing decided to burn up on me. Luckily the yota fam is strong and saved the day. Now looking for a passenger side front wheel bearing and hub assembly has to be from a 2wd so if you know any junk yards that have one in your area let me know how much for it and shipping!
