Will do Mike. You might hit up tony, FJ_Wheeler, I'm pretty sure this is what he is/has been running.

Took advantage of my dad's shop while I was there for Easter.

Intake installed.

Big Bill installed. Hopefully I can meet FJWheeler some time and get it tuned.

Realized I've never posted the stream light so here's a couple pics of it also.

Looking good. Good to hear you got the CB installed. Looks like your getting ready for Jambo. I can bring the SWR meter to work this week and we can tune it. I work downtown OKC and usually am off work by 5:30pm. I will send you a PM with my Cell #.

Got it and replied. I'm excited for Jambo. I have Thursday and Friday off.:rocker:

Nice ride, Brother!! I really like those artistic pics.. :cheers:
Thanks! Hopefully I'll get some more pics while at Jambo. The pics are mostly edited with Photoshop and Photomatix. I take all the built work photos for the architecture firm I work for but it's really just a hobby.

I also do all our companies 3d and hand renderings. So I'm decent with lots of different medias when it comes to art. I've learned when drawing/painting/etc you will always have fans and critics. For the latter I like to politely reply, and then ask to see theirs. My wife doesn't like a lot of the art I do, but she likes to me see me try. She's a bit of a smartass like me and when people ask her what she thinks of my creations she typically says "he's the best in our family..." haha

Nice build, your build helped me choose RC for mine as well. :cheers:
It's been a long process and there are still lots I'd like to do. I'm glad I could help you make a decision. I was on the fence a long time about lifts. The 6" lift gets a bad rap, but I've been very pleased with RC. :bigthumb:

Had an amazing time at Jambo. THANK YOU JIM AND STEVE, and everyone who helped me get home, everyone I camped with wheeled with etc. Also BIG THANNKS TO GARY for giving me a smoking deal on the tube doors he won at the raffle. I'm not sure they would have looked as good on his 4runner.

Awesome pics dude! Great meeting you finally.

Thanks Alex. I wish I'd got to wheel with you. I guess that's one of the downsides of 175+ vehicles.

It's always tough camping with 2 certified Toyota Mechanics and 6 full on buggys. I can't take it easy or they will bust my balls for weeks, but I did apparently earn my stripes...
 
Text you earlier, but posting here since not sure if received.

I've got an OEM sway bar and a trail spare tie rod, should you need.
Probably better to text or PM, if so.

Just got off the phone with Brad @ ICON. They are going to warranty the driver piggy back.

It's ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! Really didn't take much to get it fixed. The alignment was surprisingly still close to spec. Still waiting on new swaybar links in the front, and I'm shipping the Icon rear piggys today. It looks as if the piggy came in contact with the shock mount. I'll see what Icon says once they receive them. I wouldn't think this should happen since they are "made to work the RC 6" lift"...

Got my rear Icons back, I have to say, they went out of their way to help me and make sure I was taken care of. They replaced the piggy on the driverside and checked both. Good as new! Thanks ICON!!

Also got another present, Demello sliders from the t-shirt contest. THANKS JASON!! Just need to get them painted.
