    Ordered the tonneau, should have the rack soon.

    Looking at suspension. Anybody with Deavers have input?

    @JerryTaco and @JTS2016TACO have raved about the RXT pack so I’m leaning there. Also had icons overland springs on the T4R and loved them

    Talked to @Shmellmopwho and think some 2.5" King Smoothies with 14" of travel on the Archive Garage Relocated kit is what is going on the rear suspension.

    Mine should be here this week. Pretty stoked. Won’t have the brackets for the rack for a while, but I’ll order them as soon as KB Voodoo has them in stock.

    Also found another mod in my garage. Forgot I had this lightbar from the 4Runner that I never installed

    Went camping with @GHOST SHIP this weekend and installed my retractable tonneau cover at the site. Pretty cool! Figuring out some ways to get the rack to mount above the tonneau now!

    I realize now that I didn’t take a single picture while we were there and my phone stayed in the truck the whole time. Kind of a good thing I suppose though. Everyone should disconnect every once in a while.

    Been working on our condo a bit more lately. Garage was a task I really wanted to tackle. It was super unorganized and with getting a truck, I knew parts would be following.

    Picked this rack up from Home Depot and a couple of bike hooks and now our garage has tons more space

    Priced out ADS suspension today. 2.125s in the back on the BAMF relocation kit that shipped today, and extended travel 2.5s up front with TC UCAs. Getting closer! Think I’ll be getting Dakar’s as a starter leaf pack and going from there as I armor up in the future just to be sure I make the right decisions.

    Goal is wheels/tires, and suspension by December. Bed rack set up by August, and possibly a Prinsu rack in there somewhere. Armoring up throughout 2019

    Minor work today.

    Removed all my mudflaps, for sale if anybody wants.

    Also ordered mounts for the @kbvoodoo rack to sit on the tonneau cover. But I ordered the wrong ones so I need to get that sorted out.

    Looking at CB radios and a few other interior mods/creature comforts before moving on with the rest!
