    So mod day related...yeah I have no idea what we could do with our sliders haha. Once they're on they're on. So who needs what done to their truck? Lets get a list of projects together and go from there. I'll start.

    I need to recover my arm rests on the remaining three doors and install my cb.

    The're a couple options better than going that route to be honest,

    If you dont have the TSB performed from Toyota for the rear springs I would have that done it will give you about an inch or so I had it done on my 11.

    If you dont go that route get an AAL over a block, the block will wear your springs out faster than an AAL will.

    My brother gave me the link and I thought 2"s for the rear would have been too much. Do you a link for the AAL?

    Go with the 3 leaf progressive its better than just a single AAL, you can get them other places as well I just go through Wheelers because I am from OR and try to support my home state peeps.

    I've got an AAL sitting at my house collecting dust. 20 bucks and you're welcome to try it.

    What is everyone doing for a finish on the sliders? I know this has been covered before but now that it is getting closer....

    I think I want to do a spray on bedliner. Better traction :D

    Where is the best place to get it done? Anyone know of a place that might hook us up if we take a couple of sets to them?

    Rattle can black! Nothing will come away from 4,000 pounds sliding over rocks unscathed. I'd rather have something I can touch up myself.

    Have you thought about putting the bedliner on the top of the rails, and something cheaper on the bottom? Now that I think about it...I may go this route.

    Anyone used Dupli-Color Bed Armor before? How is it for traction?

    Rhino Liner is always a good choice. Edit - Found other guys around the interwebs quoted $200 for this application

    I'm powder coating mine. Will probably do my kickup in a textured one depending on whether or not the diamond plating doesn't pan out.

    PC for this guy as well but as stated above I have flirted around about the hybrid idea with PC on the upper 3/4 of it and rattle can the bottom for easy touch ups

    Smokey, thank you for the link!

    Ben, is that the 1" lift? If so I'll take. 20 bucks and half rack?

    You know I'm not even sure, I would assume so with just the single leaf, and no need for the half rack :) it's kinda wasted on me.
