Thanks boss... I will get some more pictures up soon.. The 4-runner pictures are somewhat outdated. Dad has added a winch and led light bar which really set it off. The inside of the 4-runner is crazy nice compared to my junk.
The light gray truck I build last year..5.29s, lockers, 38s, SAS with 5in springs, bobbed bed...blah blah. I loved the truck but just wanted a 85 ext cab with 40s...so that's what I put together.

Same thoughts on the rag, I pick it up and thumb through it (its always on the rack at book store right near the house) Its not bad, but if you've been into this stuff for a while, you wont get any game changing news out of it. It definitely appeals to the brand loyal Toyota guy or stockish, late model, recreational wheeler. The only one I get regularly now is Crawl also.
