    Definitely. It was really difficult to pick one, but the F5 is just classic. Still kinda wish I had held out for the bronze, but I'm still happy as hell with the gunmetal!

    Haha! Well played, sir! Though Gramps' ride is fooking badass!

    You better treat these new tars a little better than the last set. Got my new one mounted up, but need to swap the spare on to one of the Level 8s. Putting the new ones up front so they don't get fucked up until I figure out the shock mount situation. I think I can just trim the pokey edge a bit and not deal with spacers, I may change them up all together this winter.

    I'll add, while clearly a different rack, the Rack Doctor that I installed this winter to get rid of slop in the steering, shit itself in very short order and my steering is crap again. Going to bite the bullet and go with OEM this time, probably going to do an OEM pump while I am at it.

    Thanks gents. Cleans up OK after a quick wash and wax.

    Had to go catch the tail end of the alpenglow for one more.

    It's smashed in to all sorts of rocks, and held up winching heavy ass 4runners and 2nd gens. Not the best looking plate bumper on the market, but it's got a lot going for it.

    Probably going to modify the mounting brackets to work with my 1" body lift that coming in to move it up and gain some approach angle. The bottom bracket they supply it big enough for the AT radiators, so currently there's just some empty space between the bottom of the radiator and the skid plate. Want to move that up as much as I can.

    Doubt I'll get to that before the winter though, need to wheel away the rest of the season without wrenching on shit. Planning on picking up a new DD here soon, so I'll have all winter to work on the truck and get it dialed. Finally have the time to let it sit it the garage and work on more meticulous projects I've been putting off.
