This just happened near Denver. No injuries. Wondering if that truck belongs to someone in here. Close call. Huge piece of a Boeing 777 landed on their doorstep! Thank God everyone is ok.

Picked up a used topper that didn’t match. Sanded it down and Raptor lined inside and out. Matches the Raptor lined pocket fender flares I did.

No, they aren’t overlays. I got them off Amazon (came with 4x4 too). Taped around the badges with blue painter’s tape and did the ol’ floss trick to get the chrome ones off. Then, peeled the leftover adhesive off manually, Goo Gone, 20 minutes, elbow grease, and alcohol to finish it off. Amazon link below...

First time out to Citrus Wildlife Management Area here in Florida! Pretty cool place to have some fun for the day....

Playing around, bad pic with the sun in my eyes

When I bought my truck I rationalized with myself that I don’t really need a 4wd because I live in Florida, more expensive, more gas etc etc etc. I regret that decision every time I see my Florida peeps wheeling in cool places.

I see. Thank you for showing me and explaining. I didn't know. What's the difference between stock exhaust and TRD exhaust? Apart from the tip of-course? Any difference in performance or fuel efficiency? Better for environment? Asking out of curiosity.

^^This^^
Friday was the only day all week that our station received freight out of MEM and it was minimal. Also flights out of INDY and NEWARK were slim. Multiple flights made several attempts to take off but had to abort. Only 11% of MEM ramp employees were able to report to work from what I heard. Volumes that went out on road from our station, in GA, were down to 15-25% of what the system listed. Our station alone now has over 22,000 packages in the system that have not made their way in. Not only are aircraft affected by there are many stranded tractor trailers that were unable to get in and out of many ramp locations. Many worked their day off Saturday and will be working Sunday to try and get caught up and prepared for the onslaught of freight that should start moving at the beginning of next week as the weather starts to improve. I even have personal packages myself that are caught up in the weather delay. I agree that safety is the most important thing. Would hate to see an aircraft go down because they tried to take off is unsafe conditions or a truck run off the road due to icy conditions. It looks like warmer weather is in the forecast so hopefully things will start moving again. The good news is I am off Mon-Wed so hopefully I will miss most of the craziness. Hope everyone gets their goodies soon.

Installed kid grab handles (thanks for the suggestion @tonered)

I wonder how long until they use it as a swing and I’m stuck with an ER bill.

Slip some 1" clear poly tubing over the big loop so that there is only a 6" or so loop at the bottom and zip tie it in place...that will at least prevent them from hanging each other...

If I remember correctly, the biggest differences were materials of construction and flow/sound. The TRD exhaust is completely stainless steel and is designed for higher flow (+HP). The higher flow also means a more throaty sound from the engine/exhaust. I had the TRD exhaust on my 07 and even with 14 years of VT salty roads and 115,000 miles, it looked and sounded like new.

Therein lies my "complaint" with the TRD exhaust. I loved the sound when I bought the truck but after 10 years of driving it, I was tired of hearing the exhaust so much, especially when on the highway. I guess I've aged (OH NO!!) and now my 18 has the stock exhaust.

Exactly, older I get the more I want my daily driver to not be loud inside. When I was 16 I had chopped off exhaust etc and thought it was awesome. Now
I think it’s awesome that it’s quiet and I can hear my stereo better. I have a car with loud exhaust so I get my fix there. Even kept stock exhaust on my motorcycle..

I bought my old 2wd 07 back in TX, and thought the same thing. Then I moved to CO, and regretted it. Got stuck on my neighborhood surface streets once because of a large amount of wet heavy spring snow. Finally upgraded to a 17 4x4 a few months ago, and have thoroughly enjoyed the extra winter traction.

I live in SW Ontario, justification enough to own a 4x4. Feel free to move up here. Then buy a 4x4 guilt free.
