I almost went the ESTO route on my 100 drawer build, but held out for the drawers you have now... HA!

Building drawers is definitely a rewarding experience, especially when you customize it to your unique needs. I remember when I built mine.
I didn't have the tools or skills for metal, but I think you are doing right by going in that direction. Have fun and keep us posted with updates.

Yeah it's kinda fun. I spent several hours last night researching hinges and latches. This must be what a new bride picking out centerpieces feels like.
Also, I'm really throwing around the idea of 35s. If I can get a good price for my KO2s I might go for it.

Moved the backup cam to the spoiler. I was going to put it inside of the spoiler but the harness comes out of the rear of the camera and it just wouldn't work. This is the next best thing. I need to get a paint pen and blacken the stainless hardware but there she be.
That's high on my to do list.

My hints:
1) Use a dremel, you'll need a square hole. I ran out of wheels for mine and had to get creative with a hole saw.
2) The spoiler is a whore to get off. There are two fastener clips that are impossible to get to. I broke them but it's still held on by four bolts and 3M tape so it isn't going anywhere.
3) Be prepared to either de-pin or snip and rejoin the harness for a clean install.
4) Buy a few of the push mount zip tie harness holder things. You'll need to break the stock ones in order to get the camera harness routed.

Started getting everything together. I still need to figure out what to do about a hinged top. The 2.2 resistors worked perfectly for the airbags. Also installed the very important bottle opener for all of your root beer and Coca-Cola uses.
Mind the mess.

Welp, I said I wouldn't do it, yet here we are.
With my special discount it actually came out to $1502 shipped for all 5. Guess I'll put my KO2s up for sale... I blame you @Markuson
Ha!!!
It's not my fault! 
-If I ever go full mud tire, it may well be those...or Taco's Coopers--which he's been super happy with.

It was between these and the Coopers. I really liked the S/T Maxx on my Tundra but I wanted a M/T and heard some rumblings of the S/T Pros chunking on rocks. Granted that was from the Heep crowd so who knows?
All in all I wanted a bit more rear diff height as I was nailing it on some trails here. Plus, 35s look cool...

Yup, that's what I meant.
Be interesting to hear how they handle the snow.
You going to utilize the slee sway bar relo brackets or tundra conversion?

Looking at the relocation kit, probably. I'll wait to see where the trouble area(s) are first. You're still rubbing a bit even with the relocation, right? Are you running wheel spacers?
I rub a lil now. You'll rub more with those 13"+ wide tires but no more than I did with the trail grapplers in the same size. It nothing to worry about really. At full lock you're creeping anyway and that's when it occurs. Without the relo bracket you better plan on just driving straight.

Looks like I'll be making a phone call on Monday.
Spacers would cause rub elsewhere. @MScruiser figured that one out and shared. The relo bracket alone works well and tue offset of the RW wheels
Good luck. Imo its worth the cost for the benefit

My spacers definitely had to go. Already sold them.
