    Thanks!

    I just noticed you have a second Gen. I'm not sure if this mod works with your truck.

    You may look into the 2nd gen section.

    Good looking truck. You will love that softopper. I've had mine for a few months and have nothing but good things to say about it.

    As long as all the bolts come out, then swapping the leafs should be easy. Jerry had his done at Seth's mod day, but couldn't get the damn bolts off. He ended up having to cut the bolts with an angle grinder, then going to the closest Toyota to buy new bolts.

    And then you have Alex, who swapped everything out in an hour or so. But then again, he has a 2011 and probably less corrosion and dirt than Jerry's 1st gen

    Well when I first got the truck everything came off smoothly when installing the lift. And it was super clean underneath. But I have since been off road a few times and that darn mud pit.

    So hopefully I haven't done too much damage.

    Sweet buy Ruben. Depending on what I have to do at the Mod Day I can help. I might be doing my back rear shocks and adding a spacer, but that shouldn't take long.
