    None of that diesel ricer crap will happen. If anything she'll be a sleeper.

    Nah, she looks fine as she is. I'm not putting any money into her that isn't absolutely necessary.

    With that being said, I do have a set of Nathan K3LA airchimes that I'll be throwing underneath somewhere. :D

    The 05-11 Grille's are ready. Stay tuned for that group buy. :D

    I'm having mine customized. They're cutting "TRAIL TOYS" into the center section with the cube LED's on either side.

    Here's the first install of the new grilles on an 05-11 taco.

    My thoughts exactly. Diesel performance is addicting. The first time something breaks he'll want to replace it with something better. Which will require upgrading everything else to match. Next thing you know, the truck will be putting down 800hp and 1400tq to the rear wheels :D

    With @greeneggsnspam 's help I installed a hide a ball gooseneck hitch in Bandit this weekend. It was definitely a two man job, especially when it came to hoisting the center section into place. I have to stop by a buddies shop to borrow his 3/4" drive torque wrench this evening to put the finishing touches on the install. The 3/4" bolts that connect the outer frame plates to the frame require 360ft-lbs of torque!

    Smokey is gonna be riding in style after today. I picked up a 26' Load Max lowboy trailer today. The trailer is pretty damn nice.

    - Powder coated
    - Treated pine deck
    - Dual front jacks
    - Dual rear stabilizer jacks
    - Two front toolboxes

    I'll load Smokey up this weekend to figure out how I'm going to secure her. Any thoughts on securing the front IFS?

    Nice! Here's how we secured an IFS runner last week. 4 straps on each wheel, then one through the front frame and one through the rear hitch that were cinched down just enough to keep the suspension from bouncing around.

    Just saw the order come in, thanks bud. I'll get it out to you in the morning.

    I think I'll be able to get the rear axle tied down just fine, just have to figure out the front end. Your suggestion about going around the tires is what I'm considering.

    Something along these lines. Just have to find those nifty short straps with the loops.

    That top of that trailer tongue looks like a good place to mount a RTT.

    It sure does! :D

    If I have the room I may put a slide in truck camper up front. We'll have to see how much room I have left after I put Smokey on the trailer.

    If only I could get them by next Wednesday. I wonder if they have any distributors in the Houston area.

    Looks like the closest distributor is the Trailer Connection in Spring. Guess I'll take a drive up there Saturday.
