Wonderful weekend bouncing my little Toyota off the rocks at the Lone Star Land Cruiser round up, held at Katemcy Rocks Tx. Some amazing rigs to been seen and friendly folks to meet.
@Txfireman, I see you’re running Bilstein 5100’s with your OME springs, have you had any issues with them? I’m in need of new shocks and noticed that the ones you installed have 4” (roughly) of less collapsible length that the OME shocks.

No issues at all, they've been great. These are the Bilstien numbers I'm using on my rig.
Front: 24-185684
Rear: 24-185752
Sweet! I’m glad to hear that they’re working well. I love Bilsteins and they’re my preference for shocks.

New boot goofin'
35×10.50 r15 Kanati Mud Hogs. I've always been a fan of "tall skinny" look, super happy with these. Obviously I don't have any miles on them, but all reviews & reports I've read have been good. For $170.99 & free shipping, I couldn't pass them up. (Simpletire.com)

Awesome build thread! I read the entire thing on my night shift in one sitting. 
Great find with those skinny 35's, I also love the tall skinny look....I'll have to keep them in mind when I am due for some tires.

It's been a fun project, glad you've enjoyed it. I try to give a few updates if they seem important. I post a little on Instagram too. jeff keuper (@85_4rnr) • Instagram photos and videos - https://www.instagram.com/85_4rnr?igsh=MTQ5eGpscnV4ZjZncw==

Week 2: Really enjoyed the cooler weather in the San Jauns, beautiful but easier trails. The 4runner performed great. My alternator quit on me the last day, but that didn't stop us. 4runner ran all day on the Redtop battery.
