Some minor exterior mods

Well I finally got my truck back from having some upgrades installed like side steps by FX trail it's the 5-in steps which if you ask me gives it plenty of room for me to feel comfortable to slide my feet across when I'm wiping snow off the top or other debris like leaves. Here's a link to the particular ones I purchased.

I personally think it makes the vehicle looks snazzy plus it helps the shorter people in my family hop in whenever they need a ride my twin brother lives with his friend and sometimes he would ask me to take him to work which I obliged.

I also had them install a front grille guard.

The interesting thing about this front grille guard though is that it's also made for Toyota Sequoia this is the one I purchased.

I do have to mention though I have noticed that the front grille guard does have a slight vibration to it which did concern me at first one thing I love about it though is I have a little bit more peace of mind that my front end will have a little bit of protection even though it's not one of the higher ends this is something affordable on my budget from you know hitting a deer I have seen so many deer running across the road out west like California Nevada Wyoming Utah shoot I've even seen a few loose cows roaming through Utah on the streets you got to really have some good lights and a front grille guard just in case you don't break in time cuz sometimes you know there's ice on the road slush I'm glad we didn't hit anybody's cow I'm sure somebody would have been very sad but having that little bit of extra protection gives me a little bit of Peace of mind plus there's this little step on the bottom that I can climb onto and it holds my weight and makes it easier to wipe snow off of the hood we had something nicer on our Blazer when my husband and I were living out west.

The other thing is is stray shopping carts I don't know if you've ever been a victim of a stray shopping cart roaming the parking lot and then it just happens to hit your headlight so there's that.

My next project is to save up for a tall shell that is roomy enough and I'll show you my setup when it's complete.

I'm trying to get something so that I feel comfortable with the amount of room and having a shell makes a huge difference between having some privacy cuz you know when you go to rest stops there's sometimes isn't any kind of bathrooms there so having that little extra privacy and a 5 gallon bucket with a Walmart plastic camp toilet lid lined with a 13 gallon trash bag works great if you need to go to the bathroom and you don't really want to go out in the sticks and find a spot to go let loose cuz besides that being unsanitary you know you expose your buttcheeks to mosquitoes and other weird insects that are crawling around

One time I went in the sticks and I had to pick ticks off of my hair. So when you're out in the boonies camping or in BLM lands it's totally is it a great setup at least for camping having the privacy of a truck topper.

I've attached a couple of photos on what's been upgraded so far.

 

Looks good. Yeah my damage multiplier has a slight noticeable shimmy at highway speeds too, even though all of the bolts are torqued to 10 uggaduggas. Camper shells are great. I absolutely enjoy mine. I was lucky enough to find one with windoors (contractor's windows) and I highly recommend it if you can find one in your budget.
