    These two vids are from part of the night run we did through Mengal Pass in Mojave.

    Sadly they are iPhone videos, and the lights are so good and bright that my phone had a hard time focusing and getting the exposure correct. But you can see how awesome the @Baja Designs Onyx6 Hipower does at night... along with the Squadron Pro ditch lights that even out the pattern and illuminate the sides

    Before the parker prerun i had to fix my room. the skin disconnected from the support, and i cracked my roof support as well. I used 3m body panel adhesive.

    Its what body shops use to install body panels to the subframe.

    I will make templates and keep them and mark the locations so I know where they go.. the plate is expensive and would want $ up front for materials... so using templates I can replicate later and cardboard is cheap.

    DMZ has them for tacomas, @osidepunker has spoken about this before, Tim doesn't believe there is a market for the tundra plates. Maybe Matt is making them, but if its anything like the wait for your ADS shocks, Ill just make my own Thanks

    Your new setup hasnt come in yet craig? I was hoping to see a new post on IG or somethin soon!
    As for the plates. The market is slowly getting bigger.. but all that plating for boxing is best done together with the added brace bars that should be done the same time. Do you plan to X across the frame as well?

    Yes im waiting till i have the bed off to see clearance and pathways.. it has to be done correctly and in the right spots there is frame flex with LT both at the rear connection points of the shackles as well as the front dip section of the frame near the cab, going to try and adress both areas.

    Full LT, full armor, fully self contained Speed Glamper
    Stock x brace is good enough when it's plated in as long as the frame ends are tied together with a rear bumper or the stock hitch
