    These guys were sitting on my front porch in the cold. So I took them in.

    It's going to be a sad day taking out the waterhog mats I've had in my truck for 14 years. :(

    Bone stock. For now.
    Came outside this morning to this. It's gotten a bit worse since then. The whole ground is covered in sleet/slush/ice. Low of 12 degrees tonight. You can also see my girlfriend's 2010 4Runner sitting all cozy in the garage.

    I also moved my bluetooth mic from here:

    I may end up moving it again. But if I do, it will be next weekend when I put all my sound deadening in. Still pretty f'ing excited about that!

    Hah! No, I'm not going through that again....
    Took a little over 5 hours total. So it should cost me around $200-$250. Won't find out until they call me tomorrow.

    Well I had to cut to fit around the cage but once that was done its still fairly quick. Its nice that Toyota doesnt use 10 different sizes of fasteners. I also pulled my dash 3 times to do all the cage work on it though so I had some practice :eek:

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    bumpers are looking good guys!! its gonna be a while before til I get to that.. :jellydance: :pout:




    The other day I put the Sky mnfg elocker guard on. it was a good fit and covers well; despite the fact that there was interference with the bolt on the top right of the elocker housing. The head of the bolt is too big to let the guard to fit right, so I just left the bolt out. flexed it out a bit and no issues w/ the gas tank/skid.
