    How hard was the install of the bushings? I'm thinking of doing the same before I lift as I have a lot of slop in the wheel and noise when going over bumps. I inspected them and they appear dried and cracked apart so I'm assuming new ones will help a bit.

    For most '01-'04s I believe. Just go to the Toyota owners site and put in your VIN or call a dealership.

    Here's mine

    Was pretty busy this weekend...

    Started off by paint matching my grill. Here's some cell pics of what I used/processes.

    Also got this today! Paining it tomorrow and probably installing this weekend. Sorry for the shitty pics I'll get some better ones this weekend when everything is buttoned up. Also need to paint my corner markers but I think I'll wait til I get some new ones because they're broken anyways...

    Too many to list.

    I love how Toyota shows my truck as an extended cab when I do the VIN search, but even Geico knows it's a Crew Cab... How messed up is that...??? I know it's a stock photo, but if they don't have a stock photo of a crew cab, who would? LOL

    Yes it is bolted to the platform and also added angle aluminum at the longer sides to keep it from wiggling if it ever wanted to. And the platform is secured to the floor.
