It seems to work fine. Ran it on a rocky trail with some mud dipping and water crossings and it performed great. No issues with keeping the spare tire underneath. As for the overall weight with both bumpers and sliders, I estimated I lost 50 miles per tank of gas. The icon II shocks and springs are performing fine with the added weight also.

Ah thanks for the info. I think I'll stick with the SSO front for now, maybe down the line I'll get the rear done. No need for sliders just yet as I have nerf bars hah. Maybe, one day!

Hi, Jeff here. Just joined, really impressed with the OB Community! I have a long history when it comes to modifying vehicles (specifically Toyota's) to go Off-Road. Currently I have 2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD-Off-Road that continues to chew up my back account! I have serve OCD and continue to refine/change to improve different aspects of my rig. I love driving and seeking new back roads and trails, particularly the "roads-less-traveled". Currently working on a trip to the Arctic Ocean September this year. The photos are from a shake down run of the dual spare set-up, results: success.

Hello!
My name is Martin. My wife and I live in the upper hills of Oakland CA. We just bought a 2019 taco Off Road access cab in Cement. I sold a business recently, so I'm retired for the time being. At 54, I'm still pretty active and look forward to exploring the West this year. I'm contemplating getting a Four Wheel Camper vs an overland setup. We've had pop-up trailers in the past and really liked the easy setup, a heater, storage, comfortable sleeping. We've never been interested in using the onboard toilet. Can we build and overland that ticks those boxes? I'd prefer to not have a FWC sitting on the driveway...
Into biking, hiking, fly fishing, travel, sports cars, food. I'm not really interested in getting the photo of three wheels in the air trying to climb a boulder with the truck.

Help finding links to a few threads on building a late model taco would be really helpful. I know that there is a lot of info here, but there is a lot to wade through.

Thanks
Martin
