    Glad to see you are able to start with the mods this summer. Looks great man, especially those projectors. I can't wait to get back so I can do my own retrofit.

    Thanks guys, I think I'm going to put the lower valence on tonight and repaint the satoshi, waiting on a set of eyelids to finish out the front end look. I got upper and lower eyelids to square off the lenses, makes it look like a tundra headlight. I'm excited to see the contrast to an all blacked out lamp assembly. Should be seeing a lot more mods in the future because the wife decided she WANTS me to build my truck up.
    Not just tolerates it but WANTS me to. She realized when she saw the ARB roof tents that it's wAaay cheaper than buying a camper and you can go anywhere. So we're going to save up about 6k and throw it into the truck! Begin woot off! :woot:

    UPDATE:
    as soon as Toyota Man finishes this set of eyelids I'll have more pictures. Also got a canon 5D mark ii so they'll be much better quality than the iphone. Go big or go home!

    Nice truck man! So :jellydance: of your headlights and lids! Happy to see your going with Brute Force, just ordered a bumper from him as well.

    Have fun with your future mods :)

    Ohhhhh just you wait. My wife is a hair stylist so she makes cash fairly quickly, and has agreed to work a couple extra 700$ days a month that go towards mods. I'm hoping by Christmas to arrange the 800 pound pallet slowly being filled with goodies to be shipped up here. We'll see. God knows I love that woman. I'm salary, so there's not a whole lot I can do. :)

    Dad's truck, minor mods.. Saving for my own :)
    Looks great, and you have the right idea on future mods. I like your creativity with the Stormtroopers.

    Subbed... This is an awesome build! If I had the time and money I'd build one similar... But, I'm a college kid.

    One suggestion of what I've ready to be a fairly cheap and easy mod I didn't see on your list but that might help ya: LED bed lights.

    Thanks dude!

    Thanks! Unfortunately the headlight guys are covered up by the eyelids, I still get the 3 Hp from them though :p
    I probably ought to do something back there, haven't decided what route to take yet. I'm thinking of taking out the factory rails and having the bed rack have it's own system. That would affect where I'd put the LED's so I'm waiting til Billy and I get all the designs worked out.

    I gotcha, makes perfect sense to wait if you're thinking of taking the rails out. Without em there's really no place to put the lights. Either way tho, seems like something worth considering with no cargo it could be pretty dark back there!

    Nice build man! I like your interior mods! That Neoprene looks sweet on the arm rests!

    I just did mine in Carbon fiber, but not that thrilled in how it looks... so looking for another option... might look into Neoprene! :)
