The Black Widow Build

I bought my black 2017 SR5 about a month ago and,
to the detriment of my wallet, found my way to this forum. I am now on a path to make what I’m calling my “Black Widow” with various upgrades.

The list of things I have completed and planned is below. I will be posting pictures as items are done. Any ideas/recommendations are welcome.

Thanks for looking!

That’s a nice looking black SR5 you have there!

Great list of mods too. I’ll be following along for sure.

i used to run the BillieBars/ Bakflip MX4 setup just like what you have planned!

 

why did you get rid of the billiebars?

 

I need more space in the bed for stuff because we are going to be using the truck for a lot of long trips, so I have a cap from ARE now. I loved the BillieBars though. Just needed more room in the bed.

This is my build thread if you’re interested; it has a pic or two of the BillieBars/Bakflip setup…

Clean 3rd Gen SR5 Build

 

Very Nice SR5!

I'm not keen on calling our Midnight Black trucks, "Black Widow".

But that's just me thinking out loud. lol

I've taken a break from ordering add-ons for my Sport.

Your future adds will transform your SR5 even more!

I'll be following.

 

ive been following your build. It’s one of the build threads that made me want to start my own.

 

Oh that’s awesome man. I appreciate that. Yeah I wanted to keep the BillieBars but I just needed more storage space.

 

How did billiebars prevent storage space? Do you mean a cap would give you more space?

what did you do with the bars? Selling them?

 

what’s wrong with black widow? I found the name appropriate for the black/red theme I’m going for. Plus, ScarJo is hawt. Lol

 

It had nothing to do with the BillieBars, the cap just allows me to put way more gear in the bed than I could with a bed cover.

Yeah, I sold the BillieBars to another TW member a few months ago.

 

1,000% agree with this statement

 

Tomorrow’s project:

 

So bad news. the jackass I bought this TRD CAI kit from shipped it to me without the air intake tube.

when I contacted him about it he said it would work without it.

then he tried telling me to just order that part myself since he sold me the other pieces cheaper than new.

what a joke

 

The part that I’m missing is #3 in the diagram

 

Nothing wrong with the Black/Red theme you're going for...it's all in a name...lol!

Yes, I'm a Dodgers fan and be careful around my truck walking around the tailgate...apparently, some people on here, have already walked into the hitch! lol

 

My shins hurt just looking at the hitch.
