    My buddy at Stellar Built is finishing up his MITS Alloy tray install on their shop truck. It looks so good.

    You can replace that light in about 5 mins, and/or the panel the light mounts to is also replaceable.

    I love the look of that.
    I could keep all of my tools/recover stuff in one half; other half could be dry/lockable storage, and the bed open for truck stuff.

    I saw it at the side of the road and was in a bit of a rush for work already but justified stopping to take a few photos. Its alright?
    Not a huge fan of the tail lights (i prefer 1 piece lights) and the white accents are not to my liking but thats subjective.

    Looking at it from a construction stand point. It looks well built , but again. Didnt have much time to sit down and really look at it

    Yeah 1/2 boxes are fairly useful. Imo i'd get a 3/4 and have tires just on the 1/4 portion.

    Not a fan of the lone tower/ bacjrack in the back holding up the tent from a visual standpoint. Just looks odd to me

    I have more spy photos!

    overall, quality is alright. lots of rivets.... like a staggering amount of rivets. (I wont count the Riv-nuts as it's probably just because of testing and messing around but lots of those too).

    the rear-wheel storage boxes are... could be better. I tapped one with my knuckles and the passenger side weeble wobbled a bit, implying it's only being held on the face side of the box and no where else. Would love to talk to the guy about it but no-dice.

    Rear hitch looks bullet proof - rock solid.

    I never got to see their Tacoma, only the Gladiator! Really glad you grabbed these photos! They imported this one from China, and it does show.

    Lots of rivets, as if someone was trigger happy with the rivet gun!

    I know they sold this truck to someone up that way.. So BF no long owns it.

    Yeah figured by the license plate. Saw on the BF site photos of the same build and truck but the plate was different.
    Interesting, didnt know this was some chinese made out and agreed, certainly shows... most i like is the anderson plug in the back
