    enough to go over stuff

    I started with blacking out my badges with plasti dip. Then I added the roof rack and nerf bar steps. Then Toyota skid plate, avid bar, bed cover, 5100 lift, rims, and tires. Its addictive. Once you start moding you cant stop.

    Welcome to TW! Step bars was my first mod then BHLM's, then lift, wheels and tires then I went insane after that and easily spent over $10K in mods all together. :eek: :D
