    That’s what bloody horiffies me! It took me an hour to change one back up bulb because I was scared to death.

    Maybe I should have a cocktail to calm my nerves before drilling...

    I live in AZ. In el dust. I am from Arkansas. (don’t worry only hooked up with my cousin twice) so I duck hunt and float in el mud.

    Majority of my activities happen after dark.

    Riding rice levees shooting turtles.

    Pull a boat throw a kayak up on top.
    (Need a solution for rod storage.)

    Car camp a ton, scuba dive and could really get into some extended remote trips.

    Nothing extreme like rock climbing or mudding.

    Don’t want pipes so you can make a stealthy get away.

    If I can throw a paco pad, rifle and an ice chest in the bed I can go for weeks off the grid.

    I have two sticker and one is the Jolly Roger. (I feel like It’s a slap in the face to the clone community)

    13 cupholders for beer. All the Weathertechs.
    Mine is black, but you really can't go wrong. Grey looks great (like @Chase8059 's), and the tan also looks sharp on white. Don't remember who it is, but there's a 3rd gen around here somewhere that's white with a tan Softopper, and wheels that are similar to a pyrite mica color. Looks really sharp. Might be @ChadsPride 's buddy.

    They're also a phenomenal company and great group of people. They are the type of people who you can go pick up your Softopper from, and then walk across the street to the Avery brewery and drink beers with (if you live in Boulder, CO). Really can't say enough about how awesome they are there.

    After market skid plates. I’m in AZ too, and I think that’s been one of the best mods I did to the taco.

    That’s def on my short list. I would like to go with a TRD skid plate and then get it powder coated. Know anyone that does that here in Phx?

    I used this place. Only on smaller jobs to test them out. I was happy with the work and plan on bringing them bigger items like my skids and bed rack once they need a redo.
