Thanks Everyone! Located In BC Canada , Have tons of plans lol!
Currently waiting on a set of 5' Slim Piaa Lights For the roof basket and remove that wind deflector peice , thinking of adding a few cheap lights to the rear basket for night wheeling , just getting my tax return back too and totally drooling over the shrockworks front bumper. totally do not want to the know the shipping cost though lol.

Also debating on changing my wheels/tires , I really like the wheels that I have but its there heavy! lol , truck still has lots of balls but thinking of going to a 16inch rim and maybe some KM2's ? hmmm heh

Wanting to do fab up that stock airbox mod that I see on here lots , especially with that cap if you happen to do some creek crossings etc.. , anyone know what the heck those peices are called or where to find them ?? screen and hose clamp is kinda a given lol but wondering where to get the other pieces.

TTYL Guys!

Where in BC? If the shipping is ridiculous, I'm up in Canada a lot in the summer. Would be happy to have it shipped here and throw it in the back and deliver it. Just food for thought.

They're called Deckplates, available at marine supply stores and other similar stores...I think (I didn't do this mod myself) Just do a search for "deckplate mod" and you can find all you ever wanted to know about it.
:cheers:

What you're talking about is the Deckplate mod. The piece you're looking for, is a Marine Grade Deckplate. You should be able to get it at any marine parts store. I forget how much I paid for it, but it was a decent price.

I traced out the size of the hole, then I used a drill and decent sized bit, and then a jigsaw to cut it out. You could use a 4" hole saw, but if you don't have one, and want to cut costs, the tools I used will work fine. You could also use a dremmel to clean up the edges.

Good luck with your search for the parts, and with doing the mod.

Thank You Much Guys!!
Will hopefully find the parts today and post up some pics this weekend :biggrin2:

Sweet rig! Where in BC are you from?? Im from Nelson BC originally but live in Alberta now. You should check out: Canada Toyota 4WD Association - CT4WD they are a very active toyota enthusiast group and an awesome bunch to hit the trails with. Depending on where you are they probably have a group in your area already.

Cheers
