    Score! I picked up an Access Tonneau Cover for $100! In great condition too! With the help of my girlfriend, I installed it today. The torx screws weren't hard to take off, as the previous owner had a cap on the back, and last night I sprayed some PB blaster. Too very little effort to crack them loose!

    Keeping with the low budget theme, I went ultra low budget for wheels and tires, as in FREE for these wheels and tires. 265/70r17 General grabber AT2 tires with FJ steelies with Rock Rings welded on! Traded @jazon for my stock wheels and tires before he trades his Tacoma in. (Thanks so much!!!) Bought his spacers too for the complete look!

    Pics!

    I had to remove the front mudflats and do some trimming of the plastic but no rubbing since!!

    Haha, I'm fresh out and have a great job, but getting an apartment and trying to furnish while paying off debt is making me broke!!! Keep at it though, it's well worth it!!!

    Bought some goodies after finding out I got paid for thanksgiving vacation! @Mobtown Offroad tailgate cap and Blisten 5100 shocks (to level the front)! I would love to buy many more items from Mobtown since they are relatively local, maybe after the truck is paid off because furnishing my first apartment is expensive haha.

    Mobtown Offroad tailgate cap installed! Took 5 minutes and no real effort. Looks great and is a quality product! Pics are after it was on for a week so it's a little dirty.

    After a painful attempt to install the 5100's (crappy spring compressor couldn't compress spring and jack/ LCA method kept picking the truck up off the jack stands). Thanks @igotalotofrice for sticking through and the headlamp!

    I had my shop do install it. After driving to work all week and testing it on local u paved roads I'm very happy with the results. After we move I'm thinking rear 5100's to match.

    No more rubbing!
