    I've seen tents mounted to them, not sure what brand it was.

    do you have any pics of how everything looks under the hood? i'm looking to add a snorkel some time after the 1st of the year and i know that the airbox setup is a bit different than the V6.

    Love the regular cab. Your truck is awesome :cheers: Good luck to the rest of your build. . . I wish my family was like yours, I've grown up loving Toyotas but my step-father and his entire side of the family are Chevy guys, and on my moms side none of the guys are really into trucks at all. Either way constantly hearing shit from the chevy guys. . . Hate Chevys. .

    Anyway, my next truck I planned on getting was going to be a second gen 4 cyl, 4x4, access cab. But, after seeing how nice yours is coming out I might be inspired to stick to regular cab. Shorter wheels base, overall lighter vehicle, and in my opinion an overall better looking truck.

    Great Build!

    Installed the S-Pod source yesterday, pretty straight forward and is a real clean way to have all your wiring go to one spot. Came with 6 switches that are fused and relayed.

    Love the rhino lining. I think I am gonna go the same route to finish off my fenders, below my doors and my bumpers as well.

    yeah the rhino lining looks sick. seeing how good this turned out makes me want it too.

    Tacovendor did you do it yourself? I couldn't find anything glancing through the thread.

    Had it done at Rhino, make sure if you do it to get Rhino it's far superior to the others and gives you some great protection on the rockers.

    i say yes to the bumper but the red flares would be better in my opinion.

    Thanks Jacob! This weekend got the ARB fridge/freezer in and now working on the Warn on board air (I'll get some pics soon). Also installed the "emergency horn" aka fire engine horn, and it's LOUD!!!!!The Baja Designs "Stealth" LED light bar came and will also be installed. Hope to have some install pics later this week.

    Installed the Columbia Overland Gen 2 dual battery tray. the tray was easy to install, and I'm doing a little bit of testing with the Warn dual battery isolator. Cutting into the stock positive and ground wires was equal to cutting the 93mm hole in the fender for the snorkle! Will be running some tests soon on the isolator. The batteries are XS Power D5100 AGM's. The S-Pod is hooked up to the aux. battery.

    I finally found the time to get the sliders on. Demello did a great job of building these weld on sliders.

    Got the Baja Designs "Stealth" LED light bar installed. To say it's bright is an understatement. It's brighter than the 4 8" HID La Paz lights. The light is extremely even and there are virtually no shadows.
