    Spec'd mine at mobile living in Concord. Not far from Martinez campways, and the guys were better to work with.

    Those only came out for 1 yr 09, very few of them.
    Bought an 08 in 09. It was a replacement for my 04 that was stolen.

    Good info and even better customer service. Second solid referral I've come across for ToyConnection. Underlying message was be prepared to be patient - its not like a normal shop but the work is top notch and his prices are fair. Next time I find myself in a crap situation beyond my limited ability, I'll consult with Jeff. Thanks.

    Awesome day today.

    Got to hang out with buddies, wrench on a truck, eat some Brats, and drink some beer. How does life get any better?

    @Papadave418 truck is looking badass. With the extra aggrassive stance.

    They bolt to the hood bracket using the existing bolts. Seriously, one of the easiest things I've done to the truck.

    I agree, but it's under the hood so no one can see it unless you pop the hood to show it off. I would just keep it unless someone wants to swap it out for the stock one.

    @Twizted .. I have to ask you. Is your 60s plate referencing our engine or a service provided by an escort.

    Well went to install a light bar behind my bumper and my hood is stuck closed. :frusty: Was hoping to get the wiring complete so I just had to remove the bumper and mount the bar tomorrow night. Hoping I can pop it open with a second person.

    This guy is 11 yrs old and he is still a puppy that I got when he was 6 weeks old. He is the best dog in the world! I'm sure you will fall in love your pup.
