nice!

 

You've done more work in a month than most on this site have accomplished in years. Care to elaborate on the "very specific reason" for the build?

Do I see ARB lockers? Nice rig.

 

Love the cap and bumper gear. I'm still waiting for my truck to arrive. Can't wait to hear your story. Cheers!

 

Clean truck!

 

Daves not here

 

Thank you, and yes to the ARB question. I will elaborate in the write-up. No spoilers LOL.

 

Love the rear bumper, is it painted or powder coated? Truck looks good!

 

He's journaling out somewhere very, very remote.

 

Both, it's a 4xInnovation pice, powder coated satin black then painted to mach the truck's OEM bumper color and style, finished with clear coat.

 

Dave from Autotrends! I knew it was you!! Let me introduce you to my friend @JakeFromStateFarm

Lol just kidding man. Legitimate build!! Very nice.

 

@12TRDTacoma

 

Very nice!

 

You are so bitter right now. Lol.

 

Lmao negative! I was confused at what was going on at first rofl.

 

Im still confused at whats going on?

 

Nice truck! Can't wait for detailed posts; definitely inspiration for my truck...whenever that happens lol

 

Dave from Autotrends was some guy who was attempting to portray himself as a guy named Dave who was just appraising an online company named autotrends which sold nothing but bro truck accessories in early 2015. We all caught onto him and figured it out then trolled the hell out of him for the following months. Similar to what Joe Blow's wife did to Jake from State Farm in the commercial when it first aired on tv.

 

OK, I guess I had to be there.
