    Tomorrows jobs:
    Replace the tail lights
    Install the side steps
    Install the front camera into the grill (it’s still wired up just needs to be mounted)
    Replace 3rd brake light
    Install the grill “Goose” branding, my nickname.

    To do
    Sand, prime and spray the front and rear bumper
    Plastidip the old chrome logos and re mount after the 30 day cure time.


    I know alpharex cop a lot of heat in here, but I like the modern styling and my dad bought them for me as a present.

    well, as disappointing as this is to say, sold my Tacoma over the weekend to a very excited 16yo girl and her parents. and knowing what i know i should have stripped all the extras off really she is never going to use that winch or the lighting. but if i was her id sure be cool to talk about having

    I’m happy to have gotten this far and will be excited to get them wired in. With the Softopper on the back the extra light has been needed on several occasions.

    Rhinolined, trimmed and installed the bed. Did some cycling with some weight, way too light. Very compliant high speed compression instances but I just have no traction.. need to install the lsd soon..

    Finally purchased a campershell. It's a Leer 100R. Has dual rear latches, a removable front window with slider, and side slider windows. I still have to wire the brake and dome lights. Planning a roof rack, interior carpet lining, and more interior lights for the immediate future. Ultimately I planning a camping/search and rescue build for the bed.

    Shell came with essentially a lumber rack on top. My dad is doing a camper van build and I figured the rack would be perfect. Drive three hours to the seller who had his own forklift, making install a breeze. Got home and removed the rack. Sprayed the mounting bolts black and put em back into place. Gunna use the existing holes for whatever rack system I conjure up. Took it to the quarter car wash and cleaned it up real nice. Shell was a helluva deal, pretty stoked for the doors it opens. Excited to nerd out on the bed build.
