    Yeah, that’s a bonus. Of course I’ve missed birthdays and anniversary for at least the last five! We make it work though. Safe travels!

    Looks awesome. I was contemplating this same exact cut on my bumper. Saw a similar one on Instagram some months ago but with a 3rd gen TRD skid plate and fog on the crash bar. May actually go through with it now.

    Installed an aftermarket super white rear bumper.
    The box that it came in was slightly damaged and come to find out, so was the bumper.
    I threw it on anyways. I have a factory bumper that I will need to have painted and then transfer the parts from this one to the factory one.
    That wont happen until the Spring.
    At least my rear is protected.

    Amazon actually. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074KD1BN9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    The fit isn't the best and like I said, it came damaged.
    I usually try to buy most things from Toyota but I priced out the rear bumper and all assorted pieces to over $700 :eek:

    I did eventually buy the metal bumper alone from Toyota for $300. My original bumper was bent and the main steel support had a broken piece.

    I just ordered an alien gear mount, it looks pretty nice, it should be perfect. My buddy has it on his raptor and I really like it.

    Been lurking forever, never felt like I had anything to post. But today I finally replaced my headlights, thanks to help from the forums and youtube!

    Went from this:


    To this:


    I was in a tiny fender bender, no damage to the Escalade I tapped besides their tow receiver cover, but it tweaked my whole passenger side front end. Luckily I was able to bend everything mostly back into place, but that gap between the bumper and quarter panel wont go away...

    @boogie3478

    Ended up going with Camburg 1.25" uniballs! Now I need to replace my 5 year old bilstein 6112 but I could list off a couple grand worth of other mods I really want :angrygirl:

    I'm sure I'll upgrade from my UCAs at some point but going to see if I can get a few more years out of them with the new ball joints. The mods never stop! :D
