    So, I don't want to take away from SockMonkeys spectacular work, however I made these custom decals for my taco. I think they turned out great!! Now if only I knew how to print vinyl..:(

    Let me know your thoughts!

    Really like the build. Looks damn good. Do you have any rubbing problems with the tires? And did you re-gear it or does it run fine with stock gearing on the tires?

    I had to do the black box mod, to avoid rubbing but otherwise I haven't had any issues with them. and I average about 18 mpg street with the stock gears and larger tires, there is a power loss but I baby my truck by trying to keep it under 2000 RPM (maximum) when accelerating. I will re-gear when I get the money and time for it.

    As I said earlier, one of the nicest five lugs I've seen. Your truck makes it look good and I'm liking the color match shop. Btw, I'm holding you to those tailgate brake LEDs haha :D

    hahahaha no no no! mine's not clean at all! I mean it's probably cleaner than most, but I have all these black marks on the side of my truck from the rain on the asphalt. I picked out the pictures where the marks were least noticable

    Gearing on a 31 really isn needed. I did 31's for two years on stock gears, then 32's on stock with aftermarket exhaust. 4.10's will get you some better acceleration but not a large gain. Look into doing LSD first so you can hook up better in the DEZ. As for your under 2k max. Don't be scurred to take her up to red line, even though max power is built around 4500. My Whitney has never been babied and still going strong at 170k.

    The lift holds up extremely well! The rear shocks are incredible. They are a bit stiff but you won't ever have to worry about the rear sagging or having a "bro-lean"

    Will you be coming back to vegas anytime in the future?
    And yeah the colormatched bumper is my favorite addition, I also derp'ed the grille black so it really looks clean!
