    Finally posting some shots of the Bedrug and Source Air tank mounted, and...

    Found some Quickfists at Cabela's today...Grabbed some aluminum stock from Lowes and made some brackets for my shovel and axe. I used the stock tie down bedrail clamps to hold the brackets in place.

    Thanks Zach, so impressed with the quality of the SnugTop. Can't wait for that CABRAC :D

    I think Toyota used to offer the Snugtop shell as an add-on option when you bought a new truck...Not sure if they still do it.

    Thank you Rigid Industries!

    Been quite busy and finally getting around to showing some big updates to the rig.

    Here is the list of new items added since the last post I made.

    -Rigid Industries SAE D-Series LED Fog Lights
    -Prinsu CabRac
    -Stealth Custom Series SR8 Dark Metallic Bronze 16x8
    -Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx 285/75/16

    Some quick shots I took:






    I am really happy with the Rigid LED's, super bright and the best part is they are highway legal.

    Can't say enough about how nice the PrinSu rack is...Zach has a great product here, the fit and finish are excellent. Thanks again Zach for the install help!

    The SR8 rims are sweet as hell, thanks for getting them out to me so fast Vin!

    As for the new Coopers, I have only had them on the pavement and I am impressed with the ride quality. Heading down to Moab tomorrow to test them on rocks and dirt!

    More to come...
