    Diaz fab. They're on his site at the bottom of the custom emblems page. I'm guessing they're new. I didn't see them the last time I was there.

    I'm not sure. I think that was only with the model t and Devil horn emblems as they are copyrighted or something with Toyota.

    Finally changed my grill from chrome to magnetic grey. It has to be the best(cheapest) mod ever.. Found it on eBay for $175.00 and its perfect. Sorry for the bad lighting, but best i can do in a garage with overcast.20170823_195232(1).jpg

    You got a great deal if you got the grill surround and bulge for that price.

    Today I got my King OEM Performance System installed which includes the adjustable front coilovers with remote reservoirs along with the King extended length rear shocks with remote reservoirs as well. I also replaced the Light Racing UCAs with the Total Chaos UCAs and then added a ReadyLift rear block kit to raise the rear another inch in prep for the new topper install tomorrow.

    While my Toytec/Light Racing setup was decent, this new King/Total Chaos setup is killer and compliments the new 35-inch tall Nittos very well; the truck rides like butter and I am dying to get out on the trail...soon!

    Front King Coilovers (set at about 3.5 inches of front lift):

    I think I'm about ready to do the LED lights in my back bumper. What is the best tool to cut into it? Think I'll tape it off, trace my outline, measure it off, and then drill holes in each corner. What should I use to cut the rest?

    I think this depends on your skill level with power tools. Also the material your bumper is made of. If you have the color matched bumper that is plastic, I would use an oscillating Multitool. With metal bumpers a pneumatic cut off tool would work nicely with the multi tool to finish off the corners. If I had a reciprocating saber saw I would drill the corners first or at least one corner to start in. That is probably the tool that is easiest to control and not mess anything up with. The good thing is the light surrounds will completely cover the hole so it doesn't need to be absolutely perfect.

    Mine is for sure metal as it's not color matched. I'm efficient enough with power tools, just don't have what I'd need for this, so that's why I'm asking what to buy. I'll look into what you suggested and go from there. Thanks..!

    You might be able to do it with just a dremel and maybe a 2" cut off wheel. But you're probably going to go through a few wheels.

    No problem! depenting on what other power tools you have you may be able to buy an accessory tool for fairly cheap. I know Dewalt and the other major brands make saws like the one I suggested that are battery powered. Also for a one time only use you can't beat Harbor freight!. Just make sure you buy a decent blade for whatever saw you use. Good luck! post pics when you are done. That is a mod I would love to have but I'm not brave enough to cut a hole in my new truck haha.

    The dremel with cut off wheels was the easiest for me to control, i did go thru a few of them. Tape off the bumper area you want the light mounted, trace the template on to the tape, check on the inside of the bumper to make sure you have clearance for the light to fit. Depending where you want them in the bumper, there may be a mounting support bracket. Make sure any backup sensor wires are clear as well. I drilled holes close to the corners and took my time with the dremel.

    Installed RCI Metalworks skid plate for transmission + transfer case. Very well made. Much tougher, heavier than the OEM skid plates. This TRD came with gas tank and front end skid plates, which I inspected. The RCI products are light years tougher.

    Come to Oregon... we don't have state vehicle inspection... as long as you don't have a criminal record you can get a concealed weapons permit... you can buy automatic knives ("switchblades ")... and weed is legal if you are into that... (I'm not but to each their own...)... AND... it's beautiful out here...
