Installed my 21.5" LED lightbar. It's hard to get a shot of it while it's on because it's so bright. 8,000 lumens. I also need to clean up the grille a bit where I cut it. I'm thinking of filling the Toyota emblem with some fiberglass and putting a TRD emblem there.



I need to raise it a bit, in this shot it's aimed down at the ground a bit.


 
I took apart the center console and disabled the running lights finally. Now looking up OME coils for her since the 1.5" Daystar is nice but now i want more, lol.

details on light bar?
 
My suspension system has its final piece. I bought icon 2.5 front coilovers and icon rear piggyback shocks about six months ago. The suspension is seriously good. I love it. Donahoe is now icon suspension. I just came across an unopened donahoe chubby air bumpstop kit. On discount!! 50 % off. Check it out.

I'm getting them welded on on Wednesday. My mid travel build is almost complete. Stoked!
 
Took advantage of the factory holes hidden by the headliner and installed a 2nd grip handle on the driver side.

Finally lifted it

I've been staring at the Tundra/Bilstein 5100 shocks and 8 wrap LC coils I bought a while ago. They've been sitting on my bench at the shop just taunting me for weeks, laughing at me, knowing that I haven't had any time to install them. Well, today was the day. In 2.5 hours I pulled the stock front shocks off, disassembled them, put the top hat on the Tundra coils/Bilstein 5100's, put the clip at the 3rd notch from the bottom, assembled, slapped them on the truck, yanked out the stock rear shocks and coils (upper shock mounts were a lot of fun) and wedged in the 8 wraps and Tundra Bilstein 5100's. I also removed both front and rear sway bars. I'm not 100% sure I'll leave them off, the sway is pretty bad on the road. All I have to say is that the ride is sooo much better with this combo. I guess my stock springs and shocks with 265k miles were more clapped out than I first thought. Now I need an alignment and some larger tires!
 
Plasti-dipped the fenders and rocker panels! Love how it turned out with the new bumpers

all runners have the factory holes? I had no idea... I would like to do that too but I have a big noggin... you know what comes after that..

nice upgrade thanks for sharing.

Duluth,
Nice rear bumper... when you get a chance could I trouble you to take a shot from the rear of the truck looking forward I want to see how flush your bumper sits up against the body of the truck... like I said that is how MINE was supposed to look but like I said the good people @perkins had other ideas..
