Nice work Mike!:trophy:

Your custom drawers look great too . I've got no wood skills whatsoever!lol

Took me 3 days to build a wooden fence gate a couple of years ago and it was till crooked.:bash:
 
Good job! You're the first with trimmed rockers with SW sliders (I think). Looks great and I'm really liking your storage box, maybe my next project...

Thanks Gary. Trust me I have NO wood skills, but I thought I would give it a try to save the cash. Wish I took a little more time on it, but it should last quite some time. I still need a couple of items for it, ie rubber matting to line the drawers and some sort of latch to secure the drawer when loaded and leaving the pavement.

I think there are a couple of others, but it might be with different sliders. The box I put off forever but just went to Home Depot one day and got wood, kind of forced myself to do it.

Got my GrillCraft grill installed today. Only went with the upper in anticipation of a front bumper in the future. Came out good.

just decided to walk into my garage and get comfortable.

Looks good, but you need to snap a couple more pics. As for the emblem, I bought my Toyota emblem and will be installing it with double adhesive tape so that I can remove it if needed. My wife saw the Toyota badge emblem and said "I hope you aren't planning on putting that on the new grill that I already don't like".

Woman.......jeez! :rtfm::wow2::rtfm:

Lucky for me, I am the only one that needs to like what I do to the truck. Maybe I will order an emblem and just hold on to it.

And how can she not like the new grill. It is way better looking then the stock hunk of plastic.
 
Bit O' recovery...

Got the Hi-lift put in today. 48" extreme, and it fits inside. It rattled a bit but it was the base plate, so it came off and in the drawer it went. No more rattle.

Now the waiting game for the bumper....
 
How'd you mount your hi-lift? I'm a little bit concernced about mouniting it to my bajarack and leaving it out. I like the fact that you have yours inside the cab.
I say put the toyota badge on it! Looks great imo. LOL!

I used the hi-lift 4xRac that is usually used to mount to the exterior. Went to home depot (again) and bought some wood lag screws and set it as is. Then cut some holes in the mat and all is well.

I debated on puttying the toyota badge in, but am holding off. Figuring once I get my bumper put on I will have two Light Force HID lights blocking it anyways. But time will tell.
 
Had a little time today, and a can of PlastiDip....

Came out good.

Found out on the non smart key there are actually 6 bolts holding the piece on not 4. two coats and it came out great.
