    Will have pics up soon, I promise. I'm in the outer banks on vacation so maybe I can catch a good pic of the truck down here. I love my 2nd truck, love the stance too. Hoping to get new wheels soon.

    Still need to do a little touching up on the grill as far as sanding and put my emblem on. Not sure if im going to do foglights or not yet, but I am going to relocate the horns and color match the grill when I get home from vacation.

    P1020205_f2f1c11ca0fcf6747b2b155098792925787a9580.jpg

    Future mods in the next few weeks will be: Color match grill, add TOYOTA badge, Trex eyelids and new wheels. Looking at the Pro Comp 7089's in 16s or maybe the Trail Dreams FJ 6 spoke wheels. I like the 6 spoke wheel looks so im still undecided on what I will order.

    And a quick correction, I have 265/75/16 Firestones lol not bfg's.

    Comments, opinions?
