    Well so far not a lot done. With the recent hail damage repair not a lot of money left but I did get to replace the tail lights with after market light purchased from DT Moto on ebay, I had to have the dealership install the Readylift 3 inch lift/leveling kit, stupid striped sway bar bolt! I know a lot of guys have a real dislike for just using a leveling kit but like I said a lack of money right now limits me and it works for now, also I don't do a lot of off roading so it doesn't hurt much. I do have some 33 inch tires on the factory rims, I think they look awesome and the Westin bull bar adds a bit of flare. The lift/leveling kit plus the tires adds about 5 inches over all, my 5'2" wife is complaining but I think it's funny to watch her jump in. I do wanna replace the factory steps but am still considering options. Any suggestions on that? A few of the guys at work are complaining that the topper makes it look like an old man truck but guess who got asked to pick something up for one of them when it was raining, "because it would stay dry."

    Wells it has taken a lot longer than I expected but I finally got a few upgrades done to the old girl, or beast if you listen to my kids. My son calls it the beast because it seems like I am more capable/willing to do more than most guys rocking a 3/4 ton. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing but it seems to be handling everything I throw at it. I decided to get rid of the old Westin bull bar and replace it with the Westin Maxx winch mount and bull bar. After a lot of research the Westin Maxx winch mount and bull bar seemed like a no brainer, installs with no body mods and is completely bolt on. The thing is rated for a working pull limit of 16K LBS. before any deflection. I also installed the Firestone Ride Rite air-bag setup with the schrader valves, no compressor yet. The airbags seem to improve ride quality when pulling any load, especially my boy scout trailer. With the bags inflated to about 55 psi the 14000 lbs trailer pulls very well and is kept completely level. And yes I know there are those out there that say the bags don't do the same thing as a wight distribution hitch but honestly the tough weight on the trailer is only about 700 lbs. Last thing I did was the winch. Its a X-Bull 13K lbs winch with a synthetic line. Has not failed me yet. The next purchases with more than likely include the genesis dual battery set up and a viair large tank dual compressor setup to be mounted in the bed. I also will be getting another swing case (the one for the passenger side) at some time. Honestly that is probably going to be it for the Tundra. This truck has been used more as a hauler and work truck than a toy and to say the least I will probably be getting another one once my boy gets his license, I don't think he has figured out my plan to give it to him once he gets his license. Let me know what y'all think and pretend like the dirt isn't there.
