    Good news guys! I have 2 hernias lol. Getting both fixed in surgery next monday. Then a month of not lifting at all, and I can finally install all my parts! Maybe my roof rack will be here by then lol.

    OUCH! I bet it would be more than a month. I'm guessing it's a good thing your woman is at a distance right now. :benchpress:

    Haha she leaves in August so I'm bummed since we have a lot of trips planned.

    Doc said I should be able to move around with no pain after 2 weeks, and fully functional and healed by a month out.

    Need to find time to install suspension and rack now. Pretty stoked on getting these.

    I think I'll be back up to 34" tires by November. Gonna see how I like the ridge grapplers since @.45 JHP likes them.

    When my girlfriend says I spend a lot on my truck I remind her that I could spend so much more on it if it weren't for her.

    Selling my MTR's will definitely help offset the cost. But clearancing will be fun haha. I'm looking forward to it

    So with where the rack is now, the bottom cross member already almost touch the curve of the roof. It also sits on the wind deflector(can be removed but she doesn't think she'll like the gap.)

    One of the guys at work talked our welding shop into building him a rack on this 3rd gen. Might jump on it, he said it should be around $150-200. Going to style it like th low pro gobi rack

    I hate when people do that. Call me up and let me know of the higher price and give me a chance to buy it, rather than just going with the next guy. Toyos would be sweet though.

    Nah it's all good. I couldn't get there on a Friday because of traffic. So I knew that he was showing them on Friday.

    The toyo's should be good though! I'm excited. Plus gives me more time to save
