TRD

Relentless fab armor, cattleguard on front (useful here, lots of cows and sheep), nerfs for mom and pop, interior and exterior (bed) lights, Dual rack w/ lights, stripped off all the TRD decals, and stripes and painted chrome emblems same color as the truck. Grillcraft black grill w/ black paint in back, elusive elements light bar inside w/ additional lights, old grill cutout, yakima rack mount, better tires.

Took the armor off for 90k fluid swap. I decided to cut 4 rectangles in the armor to access the hardware near the transmission support.
Sacrificed protection for ease of installation; there is relatively little to damage here and the gouges and scrapes I have received tend to be more front and center. I will watch for fatigue/cracks and post if any develop.

front plate after removal. I love offroading in Nevada!
