Sub'd!

 

Snow time in the mountains...

Forgot I hade the pathetic beginnings of a built thread!

 

Went to Sandtrack with Ken Roczen

And also saved a sprinter with my bed mat.

^ Scratching my head at how he buried himself that bad without noticing.

 

Brian Deegan’s backyard:

 

Awesome mods so far! Did you keep the stock tweeter location on your front doors?

 

Yes, stock location but new tweeters.

 

Finally finished wiring in my Cooper Bussman, switches, rear pods, and rewriting my 30" grill bar !
SO MUCH CLEANER!

Also did the 2012+ fog light anytime mod

 

Bedlinered my kick panels on both sides, and all the door steps that lead to them, front and rear.
I like it.

 

nice truck man, but i wish it was a 4x4 =[

 

Sub'd

 

Same! But begars can't be choosers...
truthfully I hardly need it for the off-roading I do, and for what I want to build this truck into, 4x4 only limits my travel!

 

Smashed a tail light offroad, so I got some VipMotoz black bezel ones, not sure how I feel about them yet...


EDIT: These are now off and have been replaced with chrome versions of them same style.

 

Those are some super sexy tail lamps!

 

Thanks!
Would look even better on your black tacoma I bet!

 

You owe some night time pics. You can't just tease, mic drop & leave

 

Asked and delivered...

Also just realized...
@ChadsPride dont you have these as well?

 

Duuuuuude! That is sexy AF!

@ChadsPride wil like this 10 times!
