    It’s a little easier because I’ve already cut so many times. Clearing the sealant and cutting my welds is easy. I am going to have to cut he body mount somehow. I rub it a decent amount. I haven’t figured that one out yet. Starting with the passenger side because then I don’t have to work around the clutch pedal (which I’m also worried about)

    @AssBurns Here are some pics of my front bumper. Easier to explain with pictures.

    Well used bottom edge

    Top View, way too much space

    Side view, you can see my first skid is way tucked in there in comparison.

    Here is a view inside that first skid. Radiator above the frame rails and just waiting to be cut back.

    Is that F150 your new work truck, or did you convert to the dark side?

    I don't think I want one. I'd rather wheel with someone that has a winch, or get stuck alone and die.

    Hybrid. Probably similar to a prerunner bumper with beefy frame horns, and then tube in between. No idea really. Cut first, design second hahah

    It’s my new work truck but it’s my new daily personal truck. Work just pays for it. I can use it however and do whatever. They pay the fuel too.

    Already modded it too :anonymous:

    I’m real happy with it. They surprised me too. They took me to the dealer as a “quick let’s to look” and said bam bitch.

    I got to pick the color.

    Just have to get Lindsay's seal of approval since I'd be selling her civic to fund it. I have the cash for it from the 4runner, but we are trying to be smart about money too...

    She did say "It would be awesome if we could get a pick up or something as a third car to camp/go snowboarding in"

    Lol I've talked to him about it... I didn't know he told people he was selling it though so I was keeping it quiet. He also knew I sold the 4runner long ago because I was asking him about Tundras

    There is a guy here in Utah that has had one installed for awhile. His is a access cab though.

    Which rack? He has the Tacoma DC Rack on a Tundra Access Cab? That would mean that it probably wouldn't fit a tundra DC right?

    Can you design one? lol

    No he has the access cab tacoma rack on a access cab 1st gen tundra. The double cab is the same way though and crosses over just fine, only difference is the hardware. CBI and I are working to get it put on the website as a kit with the right hardware and such.

    2nd gen tundra racks shouldnt be too far out either.

    Sick. The only thing stopping me from buying this tundra is timing and convincing the fiancee. Hopefully all works out.
