    Thanks man, much appreciated.

    It’s not big, it’s not fast, But I love it and truly one of a kind

    When I talked to my wife (fiancé at the time) about getting my tundra, she asked if I was going to sell my Tacoma, I said no, I’m going to keep it as long as I can, she said, okay…. Then I married her and took both trucks to our wedding :D

    Replaced Dash corner speakers and disconnected the center dash speaker. And yeah, it sounds better. Only issue now is that I’ve been firmly bitten by the bug. Damn it.

    Is it not beneficial to upgrade the center dash speaker?

    Got my fender flare back on with the cherakoted button head bolts and ppf under flares. I think it looks a lot better than the plain stainless bolts.

    Most def looks better! I bought mine from Lund and they lasted a good bit before fading. Yours will probably last longer with the cerakote.

    I hope so. I bought a set of nickel plated stainless bolts off eBay first. The finish didn’t look that great and they were bigger that the original bolts and would require drilling out the holes so I decided to get the original bolts coated instead. I have a local guy that cerokotes guns that has a shop close to the house. So far I’ve had him powder coat my tow hook, cerakote my bed rack, trailer hitch, and stealth bar bumper light bracket that I built. It really seams like a very tough coating so far and looks great. Hopefully it will hold up to the elements.

    Bought a mini dump truck straight from Japan via https://carfromjapan.com/

    Drove down to Savannah, picked it up at the port and had the Tundra tow it back home. I think it could almost fit in the loooooooooooooooooooong bed.

    Great looking utility truck! Did you have to do anything to it for emissions/entrance into the U.S.?

    Nothing for emissions for GA. US Customs and a ton of other paperwork in the process needed with a lot of fees - but should be worth it!
