    Are you going to get plates welded on for the cab mount chop? I love my 34’s.

    Nope. Never did on either runner. My buddy has just as aggressive cut and he’s at about 10yrs no issue with no plate.

    I am rocking mine without plates as well. The plan was to get some welded on but I am lazy and cheap.

    I am at the not caring stage. Been meaning to plastidip the back and little windows but haven’t gotten around to it. My wife is actually the one asking when I am going to get rid of the rest of the chrome.

    I won’t be plating mine either. I run my taco open and haven’t had any problems. When I cut it open it was actually completely caked up with mud and would have probably rusted the frame eventually.

    its not going to be a DD. It’ll get 17x9” wheels and full aftermarket mid-travel suspension stuffs.

    I don’t care either, the chrome gets lost in the white paint anyways. But happy wife = happy life.

    I did remove the gx460 emblem off the back, and derped the Lexus logos f&r to see how it looked. But there’s so much chrome I think vinyl is probably the best option

    Programmed my new 1010keys. Easy as could be with TS.

    So nice having a (three) working fobs now and not having to lock/unlock the doors with the key.

    I wanna get one of those magnetic key boxes to put on the inside of the frame for one of the keys...in case of an emergency.

    Why the heck do you need 3 fobs? Wife and I share one fob and the spare is in a drawer somewhere.
