Just wanted to say thank you for being such an awesome and active community. Been lurking for a few months and have found all the info I needed to start my build. Got my hands on a 2017 platinum, ordered the color matched goodies and pro grille from Mr. Roman, some SCS rims from the boys in the Bay Area (pics don’t do the bronze justice,) got an old man emu bp51 lift kit from toytech(6 hour install of me rolling around on the concrete,) Andrew I finally finished her off with some 295/70 Nitto Ridge Grapplers off of the size recommendations on here. Had to take the mud flaps off and molded the fender well with a heat gun for clearance. Anyway, thought I’d share some pictures if I can get them to work.

    Thanks for the welcome! I feel comfortable taking her out to mess around in the forest now. Gotta test out those BP’s.

    How do you like the suspension so far? I've been eyeballing that kit for a while. Great looking truck BTW.

    Hey! Thanks guys. She’s still goin good. Been thinking about the go rhino sliders too. @TRDPROSean The OME suspension feels great. Looks super sexy in person. Pictures don’t do it justice. But with less than 1000 miles, I already have a leak on one of the rear shocks. In talks with ARB right now about it.

    Did they replace this rear shock and if so did the new one leak too? How are you liking the suspension now that you have a bit more time with it?
