nice job, but shouldn't the antenna be on the rear bumper? or maybe a shorter one mounted up on the roof rack? i think i would've added the manual locks for the front hubs. the lift u put on it, is it all suspension or did u lift the body too?

Right now its all suspension lift, but im going to add probably a 2 inch body lift just for a little added tire clerance, and so I can pull the gas tank up under there more for some added protection..

I put the antenne up front so I could keep an eye on it off road and try not to bash it on tree limbs and stuff. It wouldnt be good in the rear because theres no good way to mount it w/o the lift gate hitting it when u open close it because the 4runner lift gate wraps around the side a little. Also they say to keep at least 2/3s of the antenna above surrounding body panels, and if it was mounted ont he rear it would pretty mch run up the side of the truck and only barely stick out above the top, unless i got a huge antenna, which I didnt want. Mounted ontop on the rack is just plain to tall for the trails.

Manual front hubs are on my list of stuff "to do" You have to change out alot of stuff when you swap to a manual front hub setup, but it defaintly needs to be done because with the amount of suspension lift I have, the front CV axles are at a pretty good angle. not good for the life of them.

not to mention a slight increase in gas mileage once u get that front diff free wheeling. in my much younger days, my dad always had those jeep cj's with the manual front hubs and i remember him commenting about a noticeable drop in gas mileage from forgetting to unlock them after a weekend in the mountains.

yupp. i could use a re-gear now too. Im debating on doing gears, a front locker, and manual hubs all at once now. After i pay school tuition ill see whats left over. Might even have a super charger on it some time this summer .
