    Man sick rig! I check out your build every now and again. It always seems like you added something new or are off on an adventure. You have to have close to $80k in that rig!

    3” lift on 35’s
    How does the drop bracket lift and icon's work for you off road? I bought my truck with a pro crap lift on it already and I've been on the fence about putting coil overs on it or taking the lift off completely. Awesome build btw!

    I like the black grill surround much better than the blue painters tape look. Much much much better.

    I hope you don't mind, I send links to other Tundra nerds to your build page..

    I'm curious what hood hinge mounts and lights/covers you are using?

    Probably goes without saying, but my keyboard has collected a good amount of drool while viewing this thread.. Amazing build. =]

    I usually log all my adventures and mods on Instagram but I'll try to do better at doing detailed entries here. For now, I'll port over everything I logged on IG..

    The coilovers finally got rebuilt along with new springs swapped in. These are 800lb-rated KINGs and a huge upgrade from the stock ICONs; a much needed modification to handle all the extra weight on the front end of the truck -- the blue color is a bonus.

    No more towing mirrors. The roof rack lights are gone, too; going to be going a slightly different direction with lighting up there. Both sets of parts are now for sale.

    Got the new gas tank skid plate mounted finally. 3/16th-inch stainless steel protection at a little over 50lbs in weight that was very much needed because the OEM plastic was torn up bad.

    Very slow progress on my DIY console on top of the dashboard. The left screen will provide views from the roof and belly of the truck via cameras. The right will be for trail maps or movies.

    Got around to swapping out the weak OEM battery tray for a stronger one from @artecindustries. Also fabricated a simple plate for the relocated @warnindustries control pack that goes on top of the tray and got the winch wiring completed finally ..now to spool on the synthetic rope under load.

    Installed some @sdhq ABS sensor guards on all 4 corners today. Small skid insurance for what could be a few hundred dollars in parts alone if you break the sensors offroad. You could also potentially lose 4x4 abilities when broken, too.

    Mounted a 36" UWS chest onto the bed with 5 bolts through the floor; and added some D-rings inside it to strap down gear. Also super thankful for the bed liner from @linexsandiego for holding up to all the abuse I've put it through.

    We took advantage of the cooler desert weather over the past 2 months (February/March) and did about 5 trips out to Anza-Borrego; here's a picture dump from all the trips (a few were group runs I led)..

    Yea, I have a Warn ZEON Platinum 12k winch mounted in there and wired up to my battery. I just haven't found the time to spool on my synthetic rope.

    Oh, you mean so I "show off my Tundra" for people to "check out my lifted Tundra"? :rofl:
