    Ha, maybe if I’d shelled out stacks of cash for it, still living the frugal(ish) life out here :bananadance:


    Your new light bar is boss! Are you loving it?

    I have had my lightbar for over a year now, but yea man for night wheeling if Im lead then it is essential! I would be driving like a grandma at night without it on the trail! How are those seats? I just got a notification last night that my wet okoles are inbound!

    OH I see it now, you mounted the bar to your new Prinsu. Man that’s a nice setup - your build just keeps getting better. I need to hit trails more often, or at least get a fat light bar to make it look like I do...

    The seats are super posh, such a nice feel and look. My coworker saw them yesterday and is already talking about putting his tax return into a set of Katzkins for his Taco :rofl:

    Can’t wait to see your Okoles!

    Man I need to make sure I stay away from those bad boys...I normally don't like leather, but they do look crisp! Yea I will see what the wet okoles do when they get thrown on. Thanks man for the comments, its getting more and more to what I want. I have honestly been considering looking into SLC down the road to move. How is it there? Any good wheeling spots?

    SLC is a great spot. It's big enough to have whatever you need, but still small enough that all sorts of outdoor activities are right around the corner. There are some good local wheeling options, Moab is only 3.5 hrs away, plus a lot of other legendary national parks in southern Utah. It's clean, the people are nice, traffic isn't bad, and In N Out is just a 5 minute drive ... what more could a guy want?

    Yea man that place sounds pretty crazy. I just need to see if they have any engineering jobs out that way. Appreciate the break down of the area! :thumbsup:

    The job market out here is great too. The tech side of Silicone Slopes just keeps growing.

    Thank you! I figured I may as well pick a unique color combo.

    It smells SOOOO good too

    Thanks man, I’m loving it. Everybody who’s seen it in person so far says it looks like it belongs in a high end sports car or luxury car.

    Definitely want to redo the interior eventually, I actually prefer cloth over leather but I hate that "smell" that develops.
    Have been looking into clazzio, but I know I'll prefer to go katzkin... but man that price difference :goingcrazy:

    I know what you mean with the smell. Just wait till you’re smelling the new leather in your truck - it’s even better than that new car smell :D

    Oh definitely, that leather smell beats the new car smell all day! Probably would be awhile for me since I want to do a two tone black grey with Tuscany and suede inserts. Did you have to provide that image/file of the TRD Pro logo? or were they able to source it?

    That sounds killer. They offer some amazing stitch patterns for 3rd gen too, I wonder if they’d do them for a 2nd gen.

    They had the logo on file at the local shop / Katzkin dealer where I got it. I got to pick which colors went where all around, including both halves of the logo.

    I often feel like my truck is way more than I need, and that something like the Tacoma on the left would take care of business just fine ↓

    No, its a terrible place, nobody would want to live here, California or Colorado are way better. Nothing to see or do here. Just polygamists and weak beer...












    JK it's awesome...
