    Is it not beneficial to upgrade the center dash speaker?

    Got my fender flare back on with the cherakoted button head bolts and ppf under flares. I think it looks a lot better than the plain stainless bolts.

    Most def looks better! I bought mine from Lund and they lasted a good bit before fading. Yours will probably last longer with the cerakote.

    I hope so. I bought a set of nickel plated stainless bolts off eBay first. The finish didn’t look that great and they were bigger that the original bolts and would require drilling out the holes so I decided to get the original bolts coated instead. I have a local guy that cerokotes guns that has a shop close to the house. So far I’ve had him powder coat my tow hook, cerakote my bed rack, trailer hitch, and stealth bar bumper light bracket that I built. It really seams like a very tough coating so far and looks great. Hopefully it will hold up to the elements.

    Bought a mini dump truck straight from Japan via https://carfromjapan.com/

    Drove down to Savannah, picked it up at the port and had the Tundra tow it back home. I think it could almost fit in the loooooooooooooooooooong bed.

    Great looking utility truck! Did you have to do anything to it for emissions/entrance into the U.S.?

    Nothing for emissions for GA. US Customs and a ton of other paperwork in the process needed with a lot of fees - but should be worth it!

    Thanks man - it was cheap for the truck, under $2k - and then another $2500ish in various fees and paperwork to get it to the US. It's a 1990 - so 32 years old - and in great shape!

    I didn’t measure before and after but I hear it adds about 1.5 inch.
    I don’t be alive it’s heavy duty. I think RAS only offers one kit
