    Just bought an 05 double cab, the previous owner was the shop foreman at a local Toyota dealership for 15 years. Man did he take care of this truck it is amazing condition. Recently did a frame replacement a ton of upgrades and I'm definitively in love with this vehicle.

    Welcome to TW. The fact that you're here already means you're F'd. The ratio for time spent on this forum and money dumped on the truck is very real. Glad to have you.:mudding::sawzall:

    There is a cure it just involves selling taco and buying a Prius.

    Looks like he already installed the color matched grille so that's a plus. Tires and wheels look awesome. For my taste I would ditch the chrome emblems and rear bumpers but looks good either way. Look at the APEX LED fog light upgrade. That is a really nice mod for the money.
