    Well, I finally feel like I have enough done to at least start my build thread and say Hello to everyone. So here goes:

    Started with a 2014 DCSB (XSP package)

    Done:

    Debadged
    Blacked out "Toyota" on the sides
    Whited out the emblems on the back
    Blacked out chrome on the front and whited out the symbol on the front
    Blacked out "fake" hood scoop
    Blacked out the chrome rear bumper
    4" Maxtrac spindle lift (front) (powder coated white)
    1 1/2" spacers all the way around
    blocks in the rear
    installed an App Radio
    Tinted windows (20% front, 5% rear)
    886 reverse light mod
    Iron Cross rear bumper on its way

    Still on the "to do" list

    Black out fender flares
    another 2" of lift with coilovers in the front and upgrade the rear
    Viper remote start alarm (mostly want the phone connectivity)
    8" or 10" Sub behind the rear seat
    new rims (I want to get rid of the spacers)
    285 Tires (undecided on brand, but I do 98% city/highway so nothing crazy)

    and I think thats it….. for now….

    (sorry, I don't know how to make the pictures full size)

    Thanks, I can already see surface rust on a couple little spots that didn't get coated because there connection points. It was well worth the wait of not being able to put them on as soon as I got them,

    Sick truck, I have the same truck as you, and am about to purchase the 4" Maxtrac spindle lift from Headstrong Off-road.
    I just have one question, where did you get your wheel spacers from?
    I know I'm going to need them with these rims.

    And I just noticed your in Tampa, cool.
