Spidertrax 1.24" spacers installed today.

I'll have some width comparison pics tomorrow. Took some before pics but it got dark as I was putting the last two on and couldn't get any after pics

They made the steering wheel feel just a little bit heavier, but it otherwise rides the same. I just think it looks a little better with the wider stance; the skinny tires tucked in just looked unstable



Threw some LED's in the map lights and dome light; RIDICULOUSLY bright compared to regular bulbs, the pictures just do not do them justice.

Also put new LED's in the rear turn signals (had some in there to begin with; the new ones are just brighter), and yes I converted them from amber to red. Personally the yellow in the back just looks "off" to me...

And threw some LED's in the front turn signals

Next weekend's project is going to be fixing this:

while installing some of these at the same time







Also snagged a TRD skid plate that was pretty scratched up, so I sanded it down and hit it with rubberized undercoating and bolted it on it's not going to stop any large rocks or stumps from finding my oil pan or anything, but it looks decent I think. Something is better than nothing

OH, and I took the truck on it's first true wheeling adventure a few weeks ago! She did pretty well with the tires and locker, being only 2wd and all. Had a blast with it!

HID projector retrofit done looks killer and the light output is AMAZING!

Long time no update...

Truth be told, hasn't much happened

I put on some 17" alloys with some Michellins on them off a Tundra for everyday driving in a pursuit for better MPG. Don't look near as good as the TRD wheels and BFG's, but they don't look half bad on it either. I may end up painting them a gun metal color just to darken them up some. They definitely ride a WHOLE lot better!

As for now, the MT's are "stored", for later when I need or want to throw them on

wow, again, been a little while since I updated... a few small and a few big changes. where do I begin...

the BFG's are GONE! taking their place, some slightly larger 285/75 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's

the one step up in size actually made quite a big difference just in the look, I think

rubbed a LOT when turning but a "little" trimming took care of 90% of it; still get a little when backing up and turning sharp

nabbed some Skyjacker shocks from work for the back, so I could get rid of the stupid shock extenders I just had installed on the stockers after putting the AAL's on

been collecting miscellaneous intake parts at for over the past few months and managed to get enough to put together my own intake last Sunday. sounds MEAN under hard throttle. if I can stay out of the throttle time will tell what it does to MPG, if anything. not really feel'n the chrome, if I keep it I'm going to have to black it out...

pile of stock parts, LOL. if the intake works out, I'll probably trim the engine cover a little so it'll fit back on. when I do I might paint the sides the body color for a little accent

gutted the interior accent lighting out of a Scion at work and installed it; under dash and cup holder blue LED's. purely "bling", but I like it

just last Saturday I decided I wanted to run my road wheels for a little while again to save some on gas, but before I put them on I did a little Plasti-Dip work to them
