    Yea can't see super high. Plus with the tire carrier I can only see a bit out the drivers side haha

    But I'm going to install a rear camera to solve that.

    110lbs is my weight.

    And you can use it while driving n just wire up a momentary switch.

    Nice.
    Have you noticed your center of gravity being more sketchy with that up there?
    Or is it more or less similar?


    Haha, check out Monte (Blackdawg's) build...he's goin LT Expo!

    I'd eventually like to have a legit MT Expo setup.

    After wrapping my Audi around a tree..I like to drive slower these days :eek:

    I'll save the LT parts for you guys who say:

    I didn't with the tent surprisingly. But it was the bed rack that did. The RTT didn't change it that much. Not offroad anyways. On road it's a bit more tippy but not too bad. I just drive slower.

    And hell yea!! LT expo!!

    So, last Friday 1-18-13 marks ONE year since I've owned my Tacoma. Couldn't be happier with it, and I'm more than thrilled with where I've taken it.

    It's never let me down, and I've always gotten where I need to go in it.

    Yesterday, I found my original registration with the truck, and was disappointed I missed it's 1st birthday...

    But I didn't.

    Randomly, last Friday, I went on a sweet day trip to some places in so cal, I hit up a few trails including Holy Jim, and found a crazy rock quarry to play in for a couple hours.

    I wheeled for a bit, and ate some lunch in my truck. Hung out, sketched a bit, and just had a great day. Later to realize, that it was in fact more special of a day, than I had originally thought.

    I love my truck. Hope everybody else enjoys their rigs as well :cool:

    Went up to Glen Helen with my Polaris rep to rally quads and side x sides. Got there early, and had some time for photos.

    Proud of myself today:

    Installed CB setup: Uniden cb, external speaker, ran all of my wires, but don't have an SWR so I can't tune it yet; haven't even turned it on though.

    Pics to come as I shoot them tomorrow! :cheers:

    Also ran my radar wires permanently, so all I have to do is plug the radar in.

    Lastly, installed new wiper blades.

    Took me a while, but was a great day!

    Still haven't finished cb install yet... or taken any photos :anonymous:


    Right now I'm deciding how to spend some of my tax refund..

    Skids in this gb

    ARB Safari Snorkel & Relocate diff breathers (the one for 33" tires)

    Rigid Lights, thinking two dually's or a light bar (only because I can get a good discount where I work) Haven't put that much thought towards this yet.

    Rock Lights

    Any opinions on these ideas?

    Took the truck out to the desert for the long weekend. New job's been crazy busy- not a lot of time to work on or wheel the truck. But threw my air bed in the back, was super comfy.
