    Traded it about 2 years after buying it back to Stevinson, because I wanted the CM after I kept seeing them, and the newer generation.

    I'm really bad at updating my build thread. My cloth seats have been stripped and getting ready for heated seats and leather. This is a birthday present from the wife and family. Can't wait to see it when she's done. I have a friend who runs AutoNation RAM on Arapahoe and he has a custom leather guy who is hooking it up for a side cash deal. They removed the back seat and got started last Thursday! Using the old cloth to start the front seats. Then they will install and finish the headrests. More pics to come.

    I got my Heated leather seats installed. Alea Leather in black with Gray stitching. Installed on 10-30-18. This might be my favorite mod so far.

    It feels like a new truck. I get this warm fuzzy feeling while driving..... or that could be the heated seats!

    I'm sure the new leather smells good too.

    Celebrating my 5 year anniversary today. It’s been a very reliable truck so far. I plan to do a few more mods this year unless I buy my travel trailer. On this day I bought my house 6 years ago, tundra 5 years ago and my wife’s forester 3 years ago. I feel like I should go make a big purchase today!

    Very great job adding in those reverse lights. I’ve been thinking about something like that for a while and I really like the example you made

    Thanks. They are still holding up really well. The cheap lights have been great.

    Been too long since I had updated my build. I installed an Odyssey Extreme Series battery in October. I think the stock battery lasted over 7 years and with winter on the way I pulled the trigger! I need some new J hooks but haven’t gotten around to it.

    I also finally installed my SDHQ AIP relocation kit in September. The instructions were easy to follow. I didn’t take pictures as I was in a time crunch.

    Then Yesterday I finally found a used topper. I had a BakFlip the last 5 years but I have been interested in a shell. Took me over 8 months to find one on Craigslist. Ironically the guy lives in my neighbor 3 minutes away! Not sure how much I love the look but I’m excited for the extra space camping etc.

    looks great. I also grabbed a used snugtop on OfferUp not too long ago. So much room for camping gear now :)

    I like the look of Tundras with a cap. And that one compliments your truck perfectly. Im on the lookout for one just like that.

    It took me while to find a used one but I got it for $750 so it was a fair deal.
