    How did you mount the spare? In the pic it looks like it's held by a ratchet strap, but it's hard to tell.

    Thanks man! The truck is dirty so it's kind of hard to tell. The fender liner is trimmed, cab mount chopped, pinch weld beaten back, and took a little off the fender flare as well.

    Thanks! The tire is held down by a Y-Strap. I drilled a hole in the bed and added a D-ring I got from Toyota, it came with a mounting plate with a nut attached. It just bolted right up

    Took the truck for its first road trip this past weekend. Went snowboarding with gf and got about 1 foot of fresh powder while we were up there. The truck handled it like a champ.

    Did you paint the chrome bumper caps or did you buy new non chrome bumper caps and had them painted?

    I had the chrome caps painted by the dealership I bought the truck from.

    Good call. @chris4x4 could use a move to the 3rd gen build section.

    Installed the AFE Momentum GT intake earlier this week. I don't feel any difference in performance but it sure sounds good!

    No new mods to update; I plan on removing the sway bar tomorrow to see how it drives and install the rest of my interior lighting. Looking forward to see how it handles.

    Aloha man I'm working on trimming the rear of my front fender wells and was wondering what you did. You looked like you even cut some metal under the fenderwell

    Took part of the Riverview Toyota 1st annual meet. Good people, good food, and lots of bs'ing. Had a great time out there seeing everyone, thank you @Letsgoplaces for setting this up. Feel free to upload any pictures or drone footage from the event since I failed to get any pictures.

    On a related note, I took 1st place for the car audio award :headbang:
