    I wish they offered it in 16. I found a picture of a dark blue LT tundra with copper wheels and fell in love

    Uh do the right thing and sell the Methods and get SCS, like I did!

    That is sweet! I luckily have 17's already so the swap isn't bad.

    Is there any reasons you haven't built any of your own armor? Roof racks? etc.?

    I've built a skid plate and a few brackets here and there. Built a pan hard lift. I like tube armor, and I don't have a tube bender, so that's what is holding me up.

    All that stuff looks awesome. How much prior experience did you have?

    I've been reading everything I can on which welder to get as I'd like to make my own rear bumper, roof rack, and whatever small miscellaneous things come up. I don't want to break the bank either though because I know i'll use it hard for a few months and then barely at all. I've been thinking about a trailer build as well just to help justify the costs of a nice welder.
