Couple more. Doesn't look that tall in pictures but when it was up that hill the floorboard was above my waist, I'm 6'5". I had to jump out and climb back in. Definitely not used to that. Lol

Got bored and plasti dipped a few things today. Did the two rear window switch bezels, all 4 door lock covers, the overhead display, the middle overhead light, and the rear hangars. I really like how they turned out. Might paint them for real.

I remember doing this in my 05 Tacoma, I painted mine matte black instead of Plasti Dip... actually - I had never heard of the stuff until about 2013 so I don't even know when it came about, I just know that I've got like 15 cans and no idea what to do with it.

Get you a set of AR bed steps for a 4 doors, it'll be cheaper than getting the full step.

It's funny you say that cause I've actually considered that. Never seen anybody do it though. Lol

You talking about the single steps? Why would you have to pull it back up

So I bought a set of angel eyes color change halos for my headlights and tried to clean them up. I took them apart, put in the halos, sealed them up and wet sanded the lenses. Had them looking pretty and I sprayed a clear enamel spray over them to seal them. The spray for some reason sprayed really cloudy and ruined them. They looked like straight ********. So I bought new ones. $150 free shipping off of ebay wasn't too shabby. I may try soon to put the halos in these but I'll run them like they are for now. I'm moving into a new apt Sunday and that will take my focus for a while.

Had to take a company truck to discount tire a couple of days ago. I asked them if they had any used tires for sale. Said they had a couple. I went to look and they had a general grabber. I asked the guy how much and he said he'd take $100. I started looking it over and it had two nails in it. I showed him and he said "damn, I'll fix those and you can have it for $20. Lol so now I have a matching spare.

Good score on tire! How did you like the color changing halos? I've been wanting those so curious how they work and who you got from?

Yeah the halos are badass. They are just laying on my table right now until I get the courage to tear into brand new headlights. Lol the kit was actually only $20 free shipping off of ebay. I figured why not. You'd be surprised on the quality. They have a remote and do about 30 different things with about 20 different colors. Pretty cool.

Sounds awesome, know the sellers name?

The sellers name was pandapink2016. Here is the size I bought. They make them bigger and smaller you just have to figure out what diameter you need.

Hauled my father's heavy ass travel trailer today about 40 miles. I think I need to invest in some rear leveling bags, especially since I already have the air system.
