The skids are about ready to go. Here are a few pics of a test fit on my truck.

Few updates.
The alcan leafs were a bit to high for my liking. I ended up ordering Dakar leafs and absolutely love them. I also ordered OME nitrocharger sports but havent installed them yet.

Also while searching Craigslist I randomly found an ARB. For the price I couldn't pass it up. I ran an ARB on my 3rd gen 4runner and was very happy with it. Cant wait to get it mounted.

Looking tight! LOVE the taco DC's and was in the market for one when Toyota forced a Crewmax into my pocket :) Nice build.

Little update

Installed OME nitrocharger sport shocks today. The install was painless, me and a buddy had them on in less than an hour.*

Do you have a review of how the OME shocks? How was the suspension with the ARB bumper before and after the OME install?

I only have OME shocks on the back. I have SAW coil overs up front so when I add the arb I will adjust them up if need be.
Wow! great truck! Good find on the bumper.

Thanks! I couldn't pass up the ARB. It was less than $400 AND I just sold the alcan leafs for $250 so the timing of everything was great.

Yesterday me and a few KYTTORA and Kentucky crawler members made a run to Slade. This was basically a shake down run after lift and tires. I am very happy with everything at this point. I figured out the 255's rub quite a bit in the back but I haven't trimmed at all so I'm not very surprised.

I don't have very many pictures of mine but here are a few I took of some other rigs. After I get the other pics emailed to me I'll add them too.

Also here is a video of me going up carburetor hill. I was pretty tense, on the left its a 200' drop and to the right is a 300' drop so not much room for error.

Lets get some opinions on wheels. Should I paint the stock wheels graphite, black or keep them silver? I've also thought about going with a set of black steel wheels but I am kind of partial to the stock wheels. Whats everyone's thoughts?
