    Whats up everybody? Just introducing myself as I am new to the forum. I've spent a lot of time reading on here in the past and found it very helpful so I decided I should probably join. I've had my 03 Red single cab for about a year and a half, hope to start doing a few mods early next year.

Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender.

    Built a little rack out of 2x4s and painted it black with some leftover paint. Total cost ~8 bucks, much cheaper than a thule and still plenty of room for camping gear in the bed. Threw four of those foam blocks on it where it rests on the cab.

    Thanks for the links!

    Looks good. I have a tonneau cover on mine nut I am getting tired of the freaking thing leaking and breaking so it may just come off and stay off in the spring.
