    Couldn't pass this up for 25$ w/ powder coating... The toytec one I got w/ my suspension looks like crap and I don't think it goes high up enough..

    [​IMG]

    The paint is really nice. Makes me wish I got my sliders & bumper powder coated.

    Nice. I can't wait till I'm far enough in my build to need a RTT lol. Guessing you got in on that group buy?
    I also noticed they had a pic of your truck on the top of the TW page. That's pretty badass.

    Yup! I wanted one last Summer but made myself wait until the GB haha If it wasn't for the GB I probably wouldn't have gotten one since it wasn't too high on my list right now.

    Thanks! :D

    Looks good Gman. That will be a really good front setup. As for the rear, I would really consider the amount of weight you plan to carry on the rear. Are you going to have a shell, a aftermarket rear bumper, swing out tire carrier, RTT or other crap like that? If you are then the Expo springs might be a good choice. If you aren't going to have all that weight, then the expos are probably going to be too stiff. In that case I would go with OME Dakars with the D6XL extra leaf. That would be perfect IMO and allow the addition of some extra weight too.

    At my local shop just getting my front two windows done without an eyebrow on the windshield was $80 plus tax. 4ezahyma_ee263d36358f4dc23b46781b40ccc81baab6eb56.jpg
    Pm me if you want any specific angles for pics.

    Does the 15 20% match the rear windows?

    Not exactly the rear windows are technically only about 25%, but you won't be able to tell the difference from the outside since the light from the windshield will make the front windows seem lighter. You can tell a slight difference from the inside though.
