    Thanks. I don't think it would be any different if you took one of those Roll bar mounts drilled out a bit of the mounting holes, and used T-nuts to affix them to the bed rails.

    Looking back, my first version had a 9.5in vertical portion, which might have actually be good for the antenna to get higher above the roof of the cab, but I'm not sure about vibration or blocking the rear window view some. (mine's being done in .119 CRS Mild Steel).

    I prefer barefoot or flip flops. :notsure: The electric teal isn't for everyone, but I like it.

    You would think so but my fuel economy hasn't changed, about 14mpg city, 15mpg highway. The tires and high clearance bumper both took 2mpg. The regear to 5.29s gave me back 1-2. We're only talking about an additional 140lbs for the larger tank.

    A few, mainly added skids. I like leaving the suspension alone. I drive forest service dirt roafs in the desert west extremely extremely too fast. Toyota nailed this suspension going 65 across desert terrain. Changing it is dumb unless you have a specific need like crawling or mud.
    Ordered her bed stiffiners. I don't want to be the guy on here posting cracked bed pics.

    Noticed RCI has its 20% off sale.

    Anyone who's "been thinkin" about bumpers, or armor. 20% off is a good sale. I've installed RCI plates, sliders, and racks. I'm a huge fan of their work.

    Installed Spidermax 1.25 spacers. So far so stoked how they came out. Put 75 miles on them and re-checked all the lugs again to make sure they stayed tight. Have a great day everyone.72C6512E-4774-4A21-9E89-2F5B7357A514.jpgC6DBA294-A0C7-4689-9EC0-BAC3399B9606.jpg

    Looks like about the same offset as my SCS wheels at -10
    Nice looking truck- I like the color.

    Does anyone have a picture of a MGM with blackout or smoked sequential turn signals? Trying to decide which one to go for. Thanks!

    Finally got around to installing the “oem” bed lights that have been sitting in my garage all winter. Wiring was a pain but working at a steady 3 beers per hour pace, cut out about 4 feet of extra wire and a couple pointless (imho) connectors they work and look decent.

    Thanks! I'm guessing this is blacked out from a distance?

    They are the Meso V5 ultimate turn signals. They match the sequential of the headlights.

    That's great to know!

    Here's my set up and how I imagine those bed stiffeners would sit.

    A video from the day I got wheels and tires. I also forgot after I ordered them that the wheels have 0 degree offset which gave me a slightly wider stance. It was something I considered changing with my stock wheels with some spacers but I'm glad this took care of it.
