Newbie here in San Diego. Picked up my first Toyota back in May (2016) and its been a blast/learning experience. Fairly new to the crawling scene, coming from NC.

Here's a quick time-lapse for your viewing pleasures..

HEY,  looks like the neighborhood is off the 805 near Kaiser.

Used to be lots of trailing just east of there.

But then, perhaps I am showing my age.

question? that appears to be an allpro front bumper? What winch is that in there? and what did you have to do to make it fit?

SqWADoosh [04:19 PM]: *sigh* I guess Chris is right and I just need to wait until I'm in a place where I have a tow rig and trailer before I get this caliber of truck
Mudder [08:28 PM]:   not try to be a jerk, but are you serious bestgen?
Prismo [06:11 PM]:   Done, time to relax or as Bestgen says....FREEDOM!
HogCanyonHopper [06:54 PM]:   I like my little rod. it gets the job done
H8PVMNT [03:30 PM]: I can go both ways.

Allpro bumper with Warn Zeon8s. Its a really tight fit, but basically all I had to do was trim the bottom of the grill to fit.


I still need to do even more trimming on the drivers side to fit the wireless module in there.

there's a spot in north county you should check out if you haven't already. off deer springs exit. search "deer springs 4x4" it's water dept property but there's no gate. has a few decent obstacles and an ocean view

What did I miss?

He sold a mint Warn 9.5 because he had a hard on for that bumper and didn't think he could fit it.  :shake:

Sabot

Ahh gotcha. I guess worst case scenario would be (have been) just to extend the mounting points with spacers and some steel plate.
