    Saw bunch of really nice trucks out there. Thanks for the ideas over the past year. Didn't see many dc's with 8 foot beds out there. Here is my DC set up to work out of. Have the stripped down sr but is a work package. Came with tow mirror that are heated 5.7 v8,IMG_20151117_155308.jpg IMG_20151117_113130375.jpg IMG_20151112_152219479.jpg 4:30 gears ,trans cooler . just did a simple 3/2 level kit. Didn't want it to tall I still need to reach the shelves. Nfab bars , fuel rims , nitto terra grappler, rigid d2 light s , system one rack, seat covers. Brake controller now I am starting on the single cab. Single cab came with a plow.

    Sweet trucks man!! I just got a 2016 double cab long bed with the SR5 upgrade package and i would not have it any other way. This is really the perfect truck for me and what i do. Love it. I would like to do a level kit like you but before i spend money on stuff i dont really need i figure i will pay the truck off first.Should be less than 2 years Mine is my work/business, family truck as well. I am a one man custom woodwork business and i mainly produce cabinet doors,wood tops and moldings and do some install work. So i mainly haul lumber, deliver finished doors and haul tools for the occasional install. Thanks for showing your trucks! Heres mine...crappy pics. My problem is finding any spare time with running a business and a 2 year old son.

    Doesn't bother me that you put up a pic Would like to see how you set it for work. I definitely recommend the bed access steps. They are big help with the 8' bed. I know that the Short bed the bed step access is almost worthless

    For right now i just carry around a 2' stepladder LOL. Works pretty good tho. The bed access steps you are talking about...are those the ones that mount on the back of the truck from Amp Research?

    I would like to get some sidesteps. I could have ordered the truck with them but i figured i could get better quality ones aftermarket for around the same price as Toyota charges.

    I also have the deck rail system and also installed some tie downs on the bed floor.

    Tacogrande wish mine would fit in garage. With ladder rack and 3/2 level there is no way mine will ever fit. I guess I should've lowered my truck instead

    Now those are plum sexy work trucks! If I could've gotten away with a gas half ton at my last job on the farm, I'd of wanted a DCLB.
