    So I got the first major mod to my truck...a Softopper! Love this thing.

    I've got some other stuff on here now though, big one was the Cooper Discoverer ATP's. I went up a size to the 265/75 R16

    Also got some stuff installed inside LED light replacements, HVAC knobs, and a RAM mount

    Just to clarify turd is reserved for the 2016+ Tacomas. The Turd gens.

    Getting them painted with truck bed rhino liner paint. Takes a while to dry but looks good.

    Yeah I can’t wait to get this thing mounted. The spray is taking a while to cure but looks great. I’ll post as soon as it’s mounted.

    I think it’s designed to be level with most roof racks. I was thinking of getting the prinsu rack if it does. I want to get a RTT as well someday

    And of course since it's Colorado, no sooner had I gotten it all on than our first good winter storm of the season.
    The Hi-Lift and Rotopax cans mounted up nicely though.

    Got another upgrade. An interim one for now until the major upgrade in March.
    So I was very dissatisfied with the Cooper ATP tires in snow and ice this winter so I switched to the BFG KO2 265/75 r16 on Fusion rims. They are about an inch wider than the factory wheel. 0CA0EC8F-52A3-4C59-99F4-A8A2810270E2.jpg777A4FD9-3684-4F00-8705-2E8D6F03116A.jpg4EDC6A4C-DC8F-473D-81E6-6A5A41281FB3.jpg

    All the mods
    Your next mod should be the hi-lift handle keeper. https://amzn.to/2TzvCRH They rattle pretty good without one. :D

    yeah I’ve got one. I just picked up the hi lift extreme 60” so this one will be replaced. So that one will get the keeper for sure.
