    I worked at Columbia House for a few years so I know a few people from the area. My buddy married a girl from there too. I haven't seen your sisters truck around yet but I'll be lookin.

    I was gonna do a sockmonkey decal but his pink color wasn't the color my wife wanted. We did put some pink trd stickers on the mirrors. :D


    Thanks man. These tires do really good on the street and pretty good off-road. Can't complain about em yet!

    Here are a few teaser pics of the tire carrier I built today. I didn't finish up in time to take a decent pic in daylight. It still needs some touch up grinding and paint. It's foldable so when we are camping or need to carry stuff in the bed we can lift up out of the way.

    Here are some more pics of the tire carrier. I tore it back down to paint it. Should have it back together by this weekend.

    Ha-ha, awesome! Better get on it! :D

    This is what we got. http://www.grillcraft.com/applications/2010_Toyota_Tacoma.aspx/1/411/ It's just the mesh insert. You have to cut out the center portion of your grille.

    It's just 2 bolts in the hinges. I kept it as simple as I could think of.

    Been super busy but I finally found time to add the Hi-Lift to the tire carrier. I built it to have the same distance for the holes to line up, 23 1/4". Worked out nicely. I was a bit worried the metal moved to much welding the 45 degree angles together. Should have gotten wing nuts instead of regular nuts, I'll get some next trip to Lowes.
