As stated in my previous threads, I have always wanted a Toyota truck, ever since the Hilux models in 1968. The year I graduated high school)

In August of last year, I finally purchased my first taco, a used stock 2022 SR5 in Barcelona Red Pearl. A beautiful color of red. Having been a teenager during the 60's and 70's muscle cars era, I used to work a lot on cars, mainly just to keep them running. My first car in 1966 was a 1955 chevy Belaire Coop. back then it was nothing more than a used car. (wish I still had it). Any way, the front lift was accomplished by cutting the front wheel spindles.

Back to my SR5,.... I would like to thank all of the TW members and staff who responded to my inquiries about mods I wanted to add. I could have learned through my mistakes, OR I could simply ask. (There is no substitute for experience.)......So THANKS again.
and secondly, a thank you to all the individuals who take the time to create the videos on mod installations. I learned a lot.

So here I go with Before/during/and after pictures
