    (For those interested)
    This truck is a work in progress I suppose. I wanted a TRD but I figured this truck was $27k with 36k miles I could upgrade it myself how I wanted over time. A lot of add ons and goodies to make this base truck not so base anymore.

    I probably should have made this thread a long time ago to show it's progress but better late than never.

    I'm always open for suggestions, questions, or comments. I love seeing everyone's trucks as well.

    I've always liked to keep things uniform and don't want to stray too far away away from the factory reliability of a Toyota unless it (the part) has proven reliability.

    -Diode Dynamics fog lights
    -Dobinsons Snorkel
