    Your gonna look like a real tool when you realize monday it's the same cab. hence the same frame, the horrible lines from the fender up and the bed back that don't match, toyota did a good job fooling you though. Enjoy paying for the same damn truck. Here's hoping they at least changed the power train.

    I noticed that is no tie-down system behind the cab. I only see the bars on the sides of the bed for the cleats to slide and lock down.

    Either the bed is deeper or the rear window is larger....??

    Those bastards. And I bet they'd charge an arm and a leg to custom install on a truck that doesn't have them. THE TRAVESTY.

    True but I believe they have strengthened the design. Look the bed interior pic of the tailgate and the panel looks different

    That really doesn't mean crap lol. If they didn't alter the design of the hollow tail gate or the plastic/composite cover on the inside of the tail gate, just because it's thicker doesn't mean it's any stronger. If they added more supports through the inside, then yea, booya, but I won't hold my breathe.

    I see they kept the weak bed rails. Does anybody else see that discoloration inside each wheel well of the bed? Wonder what that's about.

    Discoloration? Oh you mean the dust that has settled in the bed from driving it?

    I might have missed it, if someone already posted, but the front bumper looks to have sensors like the Tundra for off road approach.

    secret stuff.
    Finally blacked out the B-pillars. I remember asking Sockmonkey to cut me something out to do it when I bought my 09' new, and he said it was a PITA to get right. There is no way in the world some of our suggestions and mods go unnoticed by Toyota. TRD version will have devil horns as an option. Ha!

    And for God's sake, just at least rip off the better/beefier bed rails from the Frontier instead of rehashing the crap stock rails.

    I'm trying to stop staring at the pictures, especially off thst photo shop thread with the bigger tires and lift. ..now I'm thinking if the suspension and engine don't change, I can totally put LT and SC on it and have nice truck... probably a good deal on glass to since I can be a guinea pig for it lol

    Good find on the different rear end. Maybe it's getting the larger one from the 4runner.
