    A little of this and a little of that.
    Nice write up. Congrats on your truck. Very sharp & I like the things you've done to make it functional for your hobbies. Enjoy!

    Cheers fellas. To answer the questions about the various items on the truck:

    Interior: This is actually a vinyl wrap by 3M. Very high quality. Fake carbon fiber isn't really my thing, but I didn't want straight up black nor gray nor glossy and this wrap actually strikes a nice balance aesthetically speaking. Use a hair dryer (or hot air gun) to stretch or shape the vinyl.
    Bike racks: Rocky Mounts. Lockable and works well. Order two at once and you only need one key.

    Jerry can: Rotopax with Toyota/Nissan Truck Plate + Pack Mount + LOX Pack Mount, meaning they're locked. I ordered two of everything and have them set up on each side of the truck now (not pictured). Good thing about ordering two (or more) at once is that they'll use the same key. It all sits sturdy and I recommend it.

    Other:

    More:
    • Rear bumper wrapped in black vinyl
    • OEM red grille (to replace chrome)
    • Debadged everything except black TRD on back
    • Wrapped grille emblem in same 3M vinyl as interior
    • Tinted windows
    • Wet Okoles
    • WeatherTech

    Great truck - looks badass in red. Know how you feel about getting your first truck. Got my first a few months back and couldn't be happier. Enjoy
