    Welcome to my Build !

    North Westish Alabama area

    Bought 11/15/15

    2012 Toyota Double cab TRD Offroad 4x4

    I got super lucky and Found this gem at my local dealer. Only had 3,749K miles when I left the dealer this past November (2015). It helps to have a buddy work there and give you the heads up. He knew I was in the market for one and had been for a lonnng time.

    The Night I brought her home.

    The Nfab Step bars were the first thing to go.

    Looking good.

    How high do you plan to set your billie's at? I'm waiting for mine, with a 2" AAL, and considering sticking with 265/75/16 tires. Just wondering if they'll look small with 2".
