    Here is one from the first time out, it's close to level. Higher in the rear if anything. I'll try and dig up a few photos from the last race to show how it settled out.

    Definitely worth the wait! Really like how DMZ set up everything so clean.
    Decided to order some black glassworks front fenders and going to attempt the install myself this weekend. Found a local body shop who's willing to spray the rear glass for $300 if I do the prep work so hopefully i can live with Mat black front fenders till I figure out what front kit I'm going to run. Already pretty much destroyed the front fender flares so have to do something up front. I'll post a few photos of my progress/frustration.

    Decided I needed glass up front after the last trip to Barstow. Went with the rattle can option since spending $800 for paint I'm just going to pin strip would be better suited saving up for a front kit. Install took a few hours and multiple beers.

    Didn't turn out to bad for a rattle can job. 2 coats of clear and a wet sand and buff and I'm pretty happy.

    Truck is going on a diet, may have listed the front bumper and skid a bit early. New kit is done but waiting for axels and coil overs and a new bumper image.jpg

    Uhhh about that.... It appears I may have sold the old one a bit prematurely... The kit is done and axels are ready. Just waiting for LSK to have a opening in the shop. They are going to build a bumper and skid. Also talking with them about making me a skid for a harbor freight jack while it's there. The high lift works but it's sketchy in the desert. They say it will be ready for the the next race in September.

    gonna look sick with the new bumper ! That's the better jack option i believe. the high lift type jacks don't seem safe enough

    So the fun continues, LSK found Toyota put the wrong bolt in when doing a break job and now they have to find the correct bolts before completing the Lt install. Thought taking it to Toyota for service was the best thing to do but I'm just going to have to make time to do it myself since this is not my first issue with a Toyota repair. Hopefully they can find the bolts today and I can bring it home tomorrow then out to Lucerne for the race Saturday!
