    No more orange skids... color matched to the rims (copper). This picture only shows the IFS skid:

    Well I haven't updated in forever... To be honest I haven't done a ton to the truck since putting on the bumper.

    - Added 2 Hella Off-road lights
    - Added Blue Sea Fuse Block (Picture below)
    - Added Softopper
    - Replaced LR UCA's with Total Choas UCA's
    - Re-installed the OEM headlights (my BHLM ebay ones leaked and looked horrid)

    Blue Sea Fuse Block:

    Softopper (And also the 100000km mark!):

    I still have yet to find someone to install my sliders. I should really get on that some day, but I tend to use the truck every weekend to head out back-country camping. I'm even considering selling the sliders... Maybe if someone in Calgary is looking for weld-on Relentless sliders for a short box quad cab, shoot me a PM with an offer for shits and giggles.

    In the last few years I've just been enjoying the setup I have. Having a roof top tent is/was a game changer... I'll have to dig up photos of it. I went with a Treeline Outdoors Lodgepole.

    The owner Chad is amazing by the way. I ended up having a few issues with my original tent I purchased, and Treeline Outdoors replaced it with the next generation of tent!

    I had to replace my URD short shifter as it broke the ball off the bottom of the shifter. Luckily it happened at the end of a road trip close to home. I decided at that time to just go with the TRD.

    Also, I love the softtopper, but both of the back panels that I bought with it are garbage... Need to replace the one I currently have. The plastic window broke in the cold. I expected it to happen based on others posts on the forums, but hoped it wouldn't happen if I was careful. The screen window one has just separated from the canopy over time:



    I figure before the start of next winter I will probably end up ordering a full fabric replacement as that will likely last through my abuse.
