    Yeah I didn't have too much luck finding reference images on second gens, there is a silver DBL Cab on Pirate 4x4 that is a SaS buggy, found his pics helpful and a lot of Australian land cruiser pics.

    The lower storage has not yet fully been worked out yet but as you say, like the rest of the truck there is a great chance it gets a little crazy and off the wall

    Isn't that the truth!! People ask "oh what's next on the truck" , their faces always show they weren't expecting a five paragraph essay detailing elaborate plans

    No kidding. Honestly, I troll TW and see what guys have done and think "that's a good idea" and do it... I'm certainly not anywhere near the Toyota education you have, but I've been able to figure some stuff out.

    Nobody ever asks me what's next. All my friends seem to think it's "finished" then they're surprised when I change something. I need new friends.

    Last little detail I added on the right side today. TRD Rock Warrior Decals from a Tundra. I was lucky enough to have a customer who's decals were scratched up, as part of the certified pre Owned inspection. The new Rock Warrior Tundra ownerdecided he would prefer we remove the damaged decals and leave his bedsides empty of decals . We gave him the decals and he handed them to me and was like "you want them?" Ummm hell yes. It's the little details .

    Good do it !! I am working on the partial Exo right now. Me and Ryan are working on the bends . I want to keep all 4 doors fully functional so I'm throwing a wrench in the whole Exoskeleton thing. Lol

    I bet. I'm thinking you'll just have to go above and below the door. Cant really brace that in the middle unfortunately though.
