    Got my Tractor Supply bed mat in. Cut it to fit between the wheel wells. I love it!

    Also mounted my new bike mount. Used stainless 1/4-20x1 1/4" socket head cap screws and some unistrut nuts. Works like a charm.

    New axillary reverse lights! Blitzpro 6LZ LEDs. Mounted into the receiver with some stainless steel hardware and Nylock nuts so I do not have to worry about vibrations.

    Finished up my console vault today. I'm not the best welder and don't have the best equipment but I was able to make do and crank this out. Fits like a glove and serves its intended purpose!

    I guess an update after more than 2 years in order. Not much has changed, had some driveline problems so I decided to remove my lift. Left the Eibachs on and Billies set to 0, and the LR UCAs. So basically just a fancy leveling kit now. Also got 265/75/16 Cooper AT3s put on more than a year ago. Really impressed with the ride. I have since moved to Texas and drive substantially more than I used to. Reliability is key for me now, so all unnecessary wear and tear is being eliminated. Next up is going to be tie rod ends (inner and outer), lower ball joints, rear brakes, coolant flush, transmission fluid flush, and brake fluid flush.

    No drill license plate bracket. 1 1/4" EMT clamps, with a piece of nylon webbing underneath to protect the finish on my light bar. All stainless hardware and nyloc nuts. Solid mount for around $15. Should probably paint it black. Oh well.

    Trimmed the Tracrac to better fit the lines of the truck. 3" off the height and 8" off the width.

    5100s in the rear. They have 35,000 miles on them, but are a hole lot better than my stockers with 116,000. Just waiting on my replacement leaf pack from Toyota.

    New cosmetic mods!!!! Waiting on insurance too see where it will go





    All that because my neighbor's tree decided to fall during a thunderstorm. The Tracracs save some significant damage though

    trdNick, how did you trim down the heigtht of the TracRac? I've been looking into buying a set and I have not found anything about adjusting the height via trimming.

    Just used a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade. Taped off the cut area and cut through the tape. So it is a non reversable modification.
