Just introducing myself. (pics)
Ive been lurking here for a while, but never really posted. Just wanted to say hi and post pics of my truck.
Hopefully I can remember all the mods:
BudBuilt Skids
OEM Lift
33's on 16x8 Pro Comp wheels
Stubbs Sliders
45"x60" Surco rack on custom low-profile mounts
Rack mounted spare tire, hi lift, and 4 Hella 500s
"AndyMod"
DRL Disabled
Relocated diff breather
Pretty much a street queen

Thanks for all the nice comments. Glad everyone likes the wheels. I was afraid that they would be too much bling, but I think they turned out alright with the black rack and hood deflector to tie them in. Now to address some of the questions:
I am probably not going to be able to explain this very well, but I will take some pics tomorrow. I made them myself. I wanted a super simple (less points of failure, cheaper to make, less tools/time needed to make them) mount. I ended up taking 1-1/4" square steel stock (can be had at most Home Depots) and cutting it into four 6" sections. I then cut the ends at angles, 45degree for the backs, ~60degrees for the fronts of the mounts. The angles needed to be at least 45degrees to be able to fit a ratchet in there to tighten down the clamps to the stock rack. The 60degree angle was purely aestetic, to give it a more aerodynamic, flowing look. The mounts then clamp to the stock rails with the factory mounting equipment stolen off the two big rack/rail things. I then drilled holes in the Surco rack and bolted them to the middle of the mounts. The sunroof still is able to tilt up without hitting and the back hatch opens all the way.-Photo below.
No performance mods. I wanted to keep the engine bone stock for reliability. Coming up I will be doing 4.88s and lockers front and rear, if that counts as performance.
The lift is the OEM lift from Sonoran Steel. It consists of the Tundra front coils and Landcruiser rears. The only thing I have done to it was added one extra 3/8" topout spacer to each side, for a total of two per side (3/4"). With the extra topout spacer the big guns will tell you that limiting straps are needed unless you like to destroy CVs.
