    I do not unfortunately. I’d love to but this truck takes enough of my money for one hobby haha. Check out the local section though I’m sure someone does! There’s a lot of options in our area I know that.

    The sales people at Dolan Toyota gave me some funny looks when I pulled up looking like this :rofl:

    I’m not normally a fan of the taller toppers for looks (although they are definitely super practical) but it looks great on your truck! Especially with the prinsu on the cab. Truck looks awesome, good stuff!

    Thanks man I appreciate it! I’ll probably end up pulling it off soon because I think the whole setup is a little too tall with the RTT on the prinsu but having the space to sleep before I got the tent was awesome.

    Almost done with everything. Have to spool my winch line then I’ll be good for the weekend. Definitely want to clean up my cuts and I’m rubbing my cab mount now so I need to take care of that.

    Spent the new years weekend driving around nowhere Nevada with my girlfriend and her father. With a fully loaded truck and all the new armor we averaged about 12 MPG over the 900 mile trip :rofl:The truck still rode pretty well on wash boards.

    Going to have the fine people at @RelentlessFab do a CMC within the next few weeks because with the extra weight up front I'm rubbing pretty good and my DIY tank is empty after all the paint and install of the bumper and accessories.

    We went all the way down to Cathedral Gorge State Park in search of warmer weather but no luck. Lows into the teens both nights but the annex on the RTT was a huge help for cooking dinner and heating up.

    I picked up a bendy Little Green Alien there some time back and clipped it around the antenna on my old T100. And someone stole it a few years later!!

    Super warm and the bottom is a little slippery but it was a nice break from driving and I’ll definitely go again!

    Thank you I appreciate it!

    Went bee bopping around the Truckee area for a few hours today. Had to snap/move a few fallen trees so when I got home I went and bought an axe. Finalizing my recovery gear order tonight because being able to winch those things would have been awesome.

    A whole goodie box of recovery gear showed up from Amazon last night, and my full size spare should be in soon. Chopping my exhaust back a little tonight. Still debating between if I want just bed bars for the RTT or a full bed rack setup. Any one have any pros or cons? Bed bar height opinions?

    Back window is no biggie. I can’t see out of my work truck and it’s never been an issue. Low pro bars definitely seem the least functional as far as bed access unless I want a bed slide and HC rear which is just more money thrown at a seemingly simple setup. I’m leaning towards mid because of accessibility and still maybe using the annex on the tent for storage.

    Did you opt for any kind of mounts on your rack?
