    Once I get caught up on my notifications, I'll start the post. Nothing huge, but definitely getting closer to done on parts of the truck.

    Busy day today.

    I started with relocating my Baja Designs Squadron Sport-R amber lights from my bed bars to my arb bumper. The plan is to use them to augment my headlights and fog lights. This means I'll probably be switching to the Driving/Combo or Spot lenses in either clear or amber.
    Now for Pics:

    Mounted to my bed bars:

    Mounted to my bumper:
    1022191607_HDR.jpg
    Mounted on my bumper with the lights on (Day):
    1022191122_HDR.jpg
    Mounted on my bumper with lights on (Coming tonight so stay tuned)....

    I also got bored and decided to mount some more stuff.

    A while back @Bigdaddy4760 gave me a bunch of things that were filling his garage. His generosity is insane as those things he gave me were a 1 gallon fuel Rotopax with bed railmount, 2 Tred traction boards and some gun stuff.

    Today, I mounted the Rotopax and traction boards.

    The Rotopax kit had everything so it was pretty straight-forward. Now i have the capacity to carry 6 additional gallons of fuel with this Rotopax tank.

    1022191632b_HDR.jpg

    Next was mounting the Treds. I had to make several trips back and forth to Lowes to get hardware that worked. I ended up using two 5/16"-18x4" bolts, 6 5/16"x1/2" flat washers, two 5/16" nuts, two aluminum 5/16 thread T-handle nuts and two 3/8"x1 1/2" spacers. Even still, the fitment is not perfect, but it holds and the Tred boards lock the T-handles in and keep them from turning loose.

    1022191602a_HDR.jpg

    I also mounted my shovel, which I already had, with some Quik Fists that I had ordered a months ago. This was also straight forward and I used two #10-24x1" bolts that came with nuts and four #10 1/2" washers. They mounted super easy, but I had to mount them kinda weird to fit my short shovel.
    1022191602_HDR.jpg

    I'm super glad I finally got these all mounted. I should moved those lights a long time ago lol. I used some of my left over free gun locks from my pistols to lock everything installed to my bed bars. I also picked up a six-pack of Shiner Blondes and some Halloween decorations that you might have noticed.

    Big thanks to @Bigdaddy4760 for gifting me some of these items and TTC/Tacomaworld for introducing me to good people like him!

    (Don't forget, I'll be getting night pics later :D)
