bordum makes for some great ideas
dude.

it is trucks like YOURS that makes me proud to drive a yota. sure my truck looks like its had an easy life, so yeah it's a "20 footer". but your truck looks like its been through hell and back, like a daily commute. slap some duct tape on that shXt and drive on!

sweet rig man. the radio shims MAKE that interior unique like none other. nice.

oh and hey, nice cans!

I know this is not a truck mod but my tool shed is in back of my house, driveways in front. I got a HarborFreight Cart, added some base wood for weight and a barrel for trash. makes lugging tools easier

lol maybe its because yota's dont ever have to be pulled out...idk...but then why bother putting a hook there at all...im confused...

you can also use them to pull out stuck vehicles and such, but id rather have two hooks to center the weight , nonetheless youll never know when they'll come in handy

I just did this to my 91 4Runner...man what a difference this makes. Better view, seat is more comfortable which now makes longer road trips easier on the old back! Thanks for this idea.

Alot of import 4x4s are that way that I actually look at, my Pathfinder only has 1 but had all the mounting points for the second. And that also has the same "2 factory hooks up front now" mod.
