    Nice. Yeah, it's hard to move from Colorado and if you do, typically you'll find yourself back here.

    Hope the pow is good for your Jane trip

    plasti dipped wheel caps,
    i own the '01-'04 and think i like it best. maybe i change the front end to the '95-'97? (how would it look with the stepside bed?)

    Note - it seems the '95-'97 front end was kind of a prequel to the '01-'04.

    I have a '99 TRD. I will say that over the years, the 01-04 have grown on me...but I still like the 98-00 better. The larger headlights look more like the current model. Having crystal corner lights really made it pop on mine. (I cant figure out how to share a photo from file here)

    However, I think the 01-04 interiors are yucky. The white gauges seem too street racer to me. Also like the blue-grey of the 98-00 better than the light grey of 01-04s

    How do you like the OME setup? I just bought a complete setup from Wheeler's Off Road, but with the 883 coils.

    I have that, plus a Shrockworks bumper, a warn xp9000 winch, and JDM fogs in my storage unit. I just haven't found the time to get them installed yet. I will post pictures soon after they are all added.
