    So plans were to bring it back to standards and drive it for awhile and give it to son in a few years. Probably not going to happen.
    First order was to get in touch with Toytec. We put did a OME 3” and a 1” block in back to get it level5504F370-B195-4E7F-8B02-66CBE12193DC.jpg

    Carpeted the back and made storage underneath- next time I’ll take cap off and use pipe or something else 2x4 take up too much space
    let’s see - threw on BFG and redid center caps on RW rims

    yakima tracks and cross bars- snug top windoor on one side for access - love it. I’ll have to do other at some point

    Nothing exciting but pulled rear block and did OME springs in rear with extra leaf for height. Added pulled blanks to right of steering wheel and added “computer”.

    This all has been happening over last year FYI just adding my stuff now.

    BHLM done per videos on YouTube - not too bad except over last few months the side marker orange plastic has gotten a white powder to them. I used plastidip for black inside and a black/ clear plastidip (VHP?) and that is what turned white. Don’t use that- black is ok though. Just ordered morimoto XB because I can’t fix that white stuff and it bugs.
    Ordered some side steps off Amazon
    They work fine for short wife getting in and don’t really wheel it. Would like to get some RCI or something sliders. Ones I got were the TAC 4.25” side steps

    On whatever device the images are stored, go into your editing app and rotate them once, then save. Then edit again and rotate the same direction three times so they are back to the original rotation. That’s the only way I’ve found to get them to upload at the right rotation :confused:

    Rabbit valley camping during the rona-

    All in all trying to make truck more user friendly for camping, fly fishing and hauling MTB.
    Last thing I’d did is Sequoia TRD pro grill. I have a single 38” bar for gap- I’ll post up once in get that in

    I owe 100% to the What have I done today thread for inspiration !

    Got morimoto xb installed. Man.. I wish everything was that easy. Props to headlight revolution for quick shipping. Got to my house 3 days sooner than planned.

    I have two small single row light bars coming to fill gap between bumper and grill. Tried to put a 40” in but I would have lost easy access to the 2nd hood lock and it looked a little too “flossy” for me.

    Looks good, I need to do that Sequioa grille on mine, changes the whole look of the front end. Any luck on installing a light bar there yet to fill the gap?

    They look better in person. I painted the little bolts -
    I t tapped them into the bumper lights for time being. I will wire them up correctly when I get a new battery bus. For now they look better than the gap. Never really used the bumper lights so I wasn’t really worried about output and performance.
    Just used double mounting tape vs drilling and tapping bumper- they fit under the hood.

    Ko2 back ordered so I am giving FalkenWildpeak At3 a go.
    Wow. So nice!
    Went up from 285/70 to 285/75/17
    What a difference. So plush and quiet.
    I have roughly a 3/1 lift. No rubbing or fitment issues with this size and the ome lift.

    Wet okole black on black- put heated seat pads directly on old seat fabric and put covers over them. Tapped into foot fuse panel “heated seats” for power.

    TRD front sway, new bushings.
    RCI skid, metal oil filter case swap and Fumoto oil drain

    Looks good, the best color too! Never thought about using plastidip on the rings, I think I'll try it on mine as I am kinda tired of the chrome.

    I have two awnings because I ordered the wrong add ons like room etc. worth more two keep smaller one vs what it could get on Craigslist.I can set them up -one on each side.
    They are from Ironman 4x4. I have the room set up and wind breaks. Really like there stuff so far. I also have a 23zero but can’t get any parts for it but Ironman stuff fits perfect. The quick connects are sweet.
    Also added drawer system and refreshed the deck. I have thread about that in the tundra topper forum. Ironman drawers
