    I agree, I think the current setup looks great. You've always been ahead of the front end swap game, so I was curious to the plans. :cheers:

    ^ LOL . . .

    This truck is pretty much where I want it. Time to sit back and enjoy it for years to come. I plan to keep it and do minor things to it. My next huge mod is doing the much needed electrical side of things. Going to clean up the wires and really make the set up clean & Seamless. I want to add a few more accent LEDS inside as well as around the truck. Hood and bed led stripes. Then some rock lights to create a large puddle light effect. That will help the dark nights when I am out and about.

    Thanks for the kind words Andy. . . It's been a long and fun build but it's going to be real steady now. My new major mod is going to be the current 4Runner or next 4Runner. It's going to be not till next year.

    All good buddy! :thumbsup:

    I do like the 12 look but I still haven't been quite able to replicate the design of the TRD grill I had on the previous one. It's close & I'm happy with it but it's just a bit off to me still.
