    First order of business was that honeycomb grille - swapped it out for a TRD Pro but that proved to cause me a lot of issues with TSS - so back to honeycomb!

    Next up was the front bumper by Go Rhino and the Go Rhino sport bar (and some Tow Mirrors)! It looked naked to me without the upper bar on the bumper, so that was ordered ASAP.IMG_0051.jpg IMG_2285.jpg IMG_2287.jpg IMG_0146.jpg

    Got a few parts installed today.
    @Victory4x4 accessory mounts with some rotopax goodies and bed stiffeners. Same setup on both sides! Also got my LED tails installed. I’ll get some low light pics as it bright outside

    This build is so sick. The chase rack is really nice. The only thing holding me back is losing bed space for dump runs. Honestly I liked the truck when it was stock too lol. Nice truck! :thumbsup:

    Picked up the tundra today after having the 5.29’s installed. WOW, it feels like a whole new truck. Lots of power, doesn’t feel sluggish and slow off the line. No hunting for gears and constant shifting. It’s really amazing.
