    Hmm...I'd love some suggestions on brands then. The market is so flooded with stuff it's hard to tell what is quality and what isn't. But I also don't want to derail the thread...so I'll stop after this, or maybe pm me if your willing?

    Oh! That's slick. No wonder he got an aftermarket battery already lol. All them gizmos n doohickies probably have some serious power draw![/QUOTE]

    If you going to go getting all nerd on us with your tech terms, I feel I must correct you. Those "gizmos" are actually thingy-ma-bobbers. Gizmos are ALWAYS much smaller, but not as small as whachmacallits.

    Just making sure we are talking apples to apples here.o_O

    You are referring to universal "drop in" LED bulbs that people install into their factory projectors. Which obviously were not designed for that swap...so yes the overall performance sucks. The LED projectors I am using were designed specially for the LED chipsets, so they perform much better than the drop in kits.
    Gotta pay to play my friend ;)
    I used OEM 4V6 Toyota color paint, it comes in an aerosol can from Automotivetouchup. With their clear coat on top. Really good stuff from a can.


    Had an awesome 4th! Bunch of friends come out and we do a MURICA shoot every year.:oldglory:

    Ironically I don’t own a single black rifle(and I own many rifles). They are all either Cerakoted or hydrodipped other colors/patterns.

    Thinking the wife might be due for a Jeep soon...

    Not yet, trying to get a handle on all the Toyota stuff. Then I might venture into the Jeepers world.

    I'll go another 1/2" up if I have to fit em'.:D





    Got my bedside compressor in. Just need to run the 4AWG back from the circuit breaker.
    I am locating the switch inside the cubby. Keep it simple.

    And Got a little [VIDEO FEATURE] haha:bikewheelie2:


    Next will be putting the rear suspension on. I'm going RTT so with all the added weight my Add a leaf ain't cutting it. Gonna build a RTT rack to match the streamline of the roof rack. Part tube, part flat/bent. Same height, but only 3/4 of th bed length:)
