    Okay Mr ‘we like pics, like alot’. I think it’s time you crack open a build thread if you have not yet. You’re about to unleash more work onto your 1GT than most do in their entire ownership, and all within a few days? History must be recorded my friend, and remember, we really do like pics. Shit, you may even need to hire a photographer for the event. :thumbsup:

    of course, @Darkness , your driveway is uphill, so after you put it in park the truck rolled back about a hands depth.
    So really you parked brail & the truck fixed for you. :anonymous:

    Also, my exhaust is getting welded up by someone else. My bandsaw is kaput and it’s far cheaper to pay someone than buy me another right. So Hochman Fabrication & Speed. 120 hr Labor. He’s willing to use my supplied goodies and if he needs more he’ll supply the rest. Guy does BEAUTIFUL work. But I’ll be doing a 1 hour drive with open headers. My ears will hate me


    I’m just waiting on the QTP reverse screamer mufflers to show up

    Honestly if you roll the windows down it’s not terrible inside the cab.

    Thanks, this is the Hooke Road Roof Rack for 2/3 Gen Tacoma 2005-2022 (4-Doors Double Cab only). Some of the brackets were flipped and extra stainless steel washers were added in order to fit correctly on the Tundra AC.

    Excited to see how it looks. But poo brown B pillars will sour the 360 view :)

    If you have spare moon mist I could maybe use some, but I think you didn't get that far yet, right?

    I'm looking at skid row armor and cat guards, but have a dumb question. Here's a quote from their website, but I have no idea what part they are referring to. Anyone know or better yet have a pic?

    "Since we've been asked many times about the factory, plastic "mud guards" that are installed on each side of the factory "front skid plate", here is our answer. The plastic mud guards look great, but they're not meant to be used off-road. If you actually take your truck over rocks, the rocks you're playing on will make a quick meal of those pieces. So, our new front skid plate assumes you'll be leaving those mud guards at home. You don't really need 'em anyhow."

    Yes. The only benefit would be to keep it a little cleaner on the lower side of the engine if you mud a lot. If you don’t, not worries. I don’t have mine and I run into quite a bit of mud in the Ozarks lol.

    @Rheywood456 your truck is so clean that I feel like it would be worth having one of those paintless dent repair places pop those dents out. It looks damn good!

    Thanks, I ordered the lug nuts from Method and didn't realize they were ET (extended thread) until I received them. I just figured the standard cone style lugs would work on these aftermarket wheels, but was incorrect.

    I didn't pay extra for them, but mine are nickel plated conical flush mount 3/4" hex. I guess that's the entry level.
