    Next it was wiring up some bumper lights and a switch under the HVAC controls. I met a cool dude and fellow Tacoma enthusiast in the process @Trident904
    IMG_0976.jpg IMG_0975.jpg

    So as many as you can relate the mods never end and neither does the lighting. It was under the hood lighting by Antidark.I replaced all the interior lights with Led bulbs. I was hooked.IMG_4088.jpgIMG_4087.jpg

    Well I havn't done any mods lately,but Here are some older pics. This is the bedrack and RTT I picked for $800 cash .What a sweet deal

    IMG_0839.jpgIMG_0895.jpg

    I had to sandblast the AllPro Rack and give it a new paint job.

    IMG_1145.jpgIMG_1142.jpgIMG_1144.jpg

    Got it all cleaned up and used some VHT roll bar chassis paint what a awesome product.

    IMG_1149.jpg.

    Than I had to fab up a mount for my shovel and axe ordered a new cross bar from

    @allpro .IMG_1402.jpg
    IMG_1357.jpg.

    Than it was some custom lighting I received as a gift from from Christmas in July
    special thanks to @JimBeam


    IMG_1597.jpgIMG_1599.jpgIMG_1601.jpgIMG_1622.jpg
    IMG_1502.jpg

    After modding the rack went on a lil camp and wheelin trip.

    To anybody who cares lol. So I got some bed rails for free. I want to have a bed accessory rails on the outside of the bed rack. I got some flat bar stock from Home Depot and plan on drilling and tapping it to hold the All Pro rack to the truck. Once the flat bar stock is drilled and tapped I will replace The All Pro nut plate IMG_1982.jpg I will run a bolt to attach the outside rail to the All Pro rack to the bed rail.IMG_1981.jpgMore pics to follow

    I put a RETRAX on my bed cover for security so mine is set. I've been toying with selling it and getting a cap though or going a different direction all together.

    Ok so I tapped a piece of flat bar stock. I tapped it to line up with the hole with the All Pro Rack mounting holes.I recently got a bed rail from another member. Thanks @Key-Rei . I than proceeded to mount one bed rail to the All Pro rack to the the other bed rail.To Clarify the set up is bedrail-All Prorack-to bed rail.

    What lights are those on your Westin Light Bar? Are those the KC Cyclones you list in your original post under lighting?

    No there nitelights off of amazaonI highly recommend them. You can also buy them from Ebay. The KC light is mounted to the bed rack. Hope this helps
