    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    Thanks man, it’s a bit of a unicorn. Don’t see them so much in this flavor.

    Single cab short bed is definitely pretty rare and cool. There's a guy on one of the tundra forums that has one ,changed to the 2.5 body style and is currently or has made it awd.

    There is a shit ton of room in this thing. I mean I roll down the road with my gf, 100lb Catahoula, and all our gear. Backend is built out with compressors and a fridge…cause I like to eat :)

    I haven’t done to much to it, as I do like things looking like a bigger version of stock, but those Blue Methods look so good!

    I like that blacked out vinyl hood wrap you have on yours. Was thinking about something similar on the tundra, so help with glare.
    I also thought about one of those solar panels that mounts on the hood.

    Have to agree about the Kenda's being surprisingly quiet. I'm running LT265/70 17 Kleever R/T's and they are fairly quiet

    I love these and I have a set and so do all my buddies. For the life of me I can't find a way to get a set without them getting all bent from shipping. Even picked up in store. I sent back 3 or 4 before I gave up and picked the best out and live with a shake.

    Yep, mine had a few dings in them when I got them, granted I think they're old enough to be archaeologically dated. Definitely the way to go though. Weird that you've had bad luck with em being dinged from the factory that sucks

    I think its shipping. I doubt that a bent wheel would make it through any sort of QC but you know how fedex and ups are with stuff especially heavy boxes. Just throwing that stuff around and the wheels get no packaging.

    I’m a simple d slot/wagon wheel fan through and through…especially on a 1st gen. Last set I got I did beads instead of wheel weights. Night and day difference in balancing. Last set that I’m on are Kanati Mud Hogs and they have some good sized internal ribbing. They’ll smooth out around 50-60mph and roll smooth unless you take a sharp curve speed which upsets the beads some. No more unsightly weights and no worries of hucking one on washboards.
