    Oh man... I was all for keeping the chrome caps on my bumper until I saw this.
    Looks absolutely killer.

    Ah. Ok. That's a good idea. My interior will be tan, so I may be screwed on that.

    Well I haven't updated this in a while. Since those last photos, I've gotten the retro headlights done and tow mirrors. Was visiting my parents and out in the pasture, so thought it was a good photos opportunity, ha.

    So I'm deciding what I may do next. Found out that I have a prepaid credit card with $750 on it that I can use anywhere that will take VISA. I can pay the difference on whatever I get, just not sure what to do.

    Thought about a new front bumper, tail lights, or exhaust. I'd put it into the BOSS lift, but I can't get the wheels and tires anytime soon so not sure how it would look.

    What do you think?

    I'd get new wheels and prepare for the lift. Put current tires on new wheels and sell current wheels. One step closer.

    I've thought about that, and it makes sense, but I think I want to drop down to 18's instead of the 20's. Plus I want to go close to 35s in my tires, wouldn't a wheel for that size not fit my current tire? What to do, blah.. ha

    Wes, I think if it's going to be months before you can get new wheels or tires a lift by itself would leave you feeling off (someone told me that it looked like I just worked out my upper body and forgot about the rest ... Lol). I say either save up some more funds and do the lift when your ready for the wheels and tires (besides you"ll get more miles worn out of your oem tires) and do the exhaust. Your Tundra looks great as it is and the exhaust will put a smile on your face when you step down on it. Tail lights can wait.

    Sorry Dave, just noticed your post. Yeah, I think I'm going to look into the exhaust and maybe add the TRD sway bar. That's still something I haven't added yet.

    Not bad really. The rear still looks flawless. The front has a few places where it's cracked. Probably from rocks or other road debris hitting it. But overall still doing a great job. Especially considering it was only a few bucks per can and a little bit of time. At some point I'll probably peel that up and shoot it again.

    Ok so this stubby antenna works awesome. Just as good, if not better than factory and looks WAY better. I live a good ways outside of town on a single lane county road and picked up the signal perfect, and still in HD. So for me, perfect!
