    Nice! Well kinda, a new scratch always hurts :p. Just hurts a little less each time. I didn't expect you to have that many yet. You just need more on trail carnage photos :D.

    Damn dude that's a lot of scratches! Wear them proudly! I'm sure you could buff them to where they wouldn't be as noticeable though!

    Too many to list now.
    How do you like those DOT rigids? Absolutely phenomenal light IMO. Also curious what you think of the Flatlink? I have the regular factor 55 and see no reason to swap over.

    Front end looks great man. Pelfrey really makes the nicest bumper for Tacomas. Never warmed up to how the APEX lower radiator support area was designed.

    Curious where you relocated the control pack for the Zeon? Any photos of that?

    Seriously they are amazing! It's crazy how bright they are and are still compliant with the street laws. The spread is perfect.

    I love all of the Factor55 products and the I chose to go with the Flatlink because of the looks — I like that it doesn't stick out as far as their other one. Just personal preference.

    Having the separate radiator support made the bumper look smaller overall and some people don't want that "pre runner look" that most other bumpers have because of the skid style from the winch down to the radiator support. However if you offroad a lot having the skid style is the only way to go IMO — having the skid to slide over obstacles instead of the flat surface to potentially push them.

    I put the control back inside the engine bay on the side wall close to the cab. I'll try to get some photos of it soon.

    Woah! Nice lol I'm the same way my truck gets rubbed up on branches and bushes but when its TLC day I'll sit out there for a couple hours to try to buff them out and make it look better
    MGM is not a good color for hiding scratches :eek:

    ^^ this makes me feel better about the pin stripping i have down the side of mine. Those close North East Back Wood Trails make some nasty scratches.

    Long time scroller through your build, think its time to Sub to it! Enjoy seeing a lot of the products I've been eyeing put to use, and some I had no idea where out there

    So with all the tuner questions...
    Bullydog I guess hasn't released the one I have yet for the '13 non-supercharged.

    I have the only one lol

    I brought my truck to them to get the tune dialed in. They had it for a few days and were able to get it dyno'd at just under 10hp increase. My fuel economy is better by an avg of 1mpg depending on how I drive it. I do have more "pep" when I get on it as well. I just try not to, I cared more about the towing modes than trying to make it a hotrod.

    Saw this random concrete pad off the road out in a field next to some newer business buildings and had some time to kill so of course I had to go investigate it. Likely an old building that was tore down many many years ago. It was fun trying to navigate my way into this area though - overgrown and multiple holes/concrete barriers with plenty of loose mud from the recent snow melting.

    ...and I got this reflection shot to show for it lol
