    I liked the carbon look. Was that wrap? What made you change it?

    the carbon fiber looked, ok, but almost seem a bit much for me, and the edges did not turn out very well, but it was my first time using a wrap so. i went with simple balck plasti dip and red paint for the vent rings.

    Truck is looking good Tim. Not sure if you off-road much, but my only concern with the 1/4" wheel spacer is it takes away your wheel from being hub-centric. Yes there are tons of wheels and people running only lug-centric wheels, but when running 35-37" tires off-road, that hub-centric wheel sure gives you a better piece of mind. I think if you are diligent at keeping your wheels torqued, you're probably fine. Enjoy that Pro !

    I not a fan of the little spacer but it's small enough to not effect much the lugs do most of the centering on the Tundra. And I good with torque wrench especially since I starting running bigger tires. I'll prolly change it up eventually if I even find a aftermarket wheel I like.

    Interesting how small cars like the vector and countach were vs modern cars. Looked so big in pictures back in the day.

    Finally got to take her out a have a little fun. Actually ended up having a little too much fun. I was able to get it kinda stuck, following a buddy and he started having some issues which forced me to slow down and the fat ass truck sunk and slid and then it proceeded to start raining again and made even more of a slop. He ended up breaking his lock and front axle.

    Yeah, when you see her next to other cars she is small. I had a picture of her in my garage next to my Craftsman 26hp garden tractor and the hood of the garden tractor comes to the Vector's roof line. It was at that moment I realized how low she really is.

    Truck is looking good bud! I like the red accent color you used on the interior. I wrapped mine. That center piece around the radio is kind of a pain to remove lol but well worth it!

    That is one beautiful ride except for one thing, the stickers. IMO, you took a once pristine vehicle and made it look horrendous. With all of the amazing upgrades the first thing I notice is a Stormtrooper and Darth Vader. The rear window looks like a gigantic advertisement.....SMH - To each his own I guess.....

    yea it is what is, I prolly have a few too many, I let the kiddo pick the stormtrooper, and I like it. It still looks great plain an simple. If a few stickers a truck look horrendous well, fuck me I guess.

    Well this week I decided to go ahead and put in my cb radio I've had for a little while, It doesn't stay all the time. only for trips and out having fun, it's nice being prepared. Also have started on the custom bed rack, got the rails mocked up where my toneau cover is still usable.

    Work in the final stages for my custom bed rack. Got it fabbed up and welded yesterday, just adding a few support bars and paint and it will be going back in. When finished the full rack should come in under 50lbs. Goal was light but still sturdy so I can put in in or out with ease by myself. I have a good friend at work who is a very good welder and he offered to help out and he has done a great job. so here are a few pics of the process. Ill update with finished product soon.
