    there are a lot of videos on youtube. There are probably more associated with the Tundra, but under the hood everything is the same for the most part. I bought a Haynes repair manual and reference that for most of my stuff. But also, just put your hands on it and try different techniques. I did...

    2003 Limited Silver

    My black has peeled away as well. I ended up sanding it all off around the windows, back included, and used duplicolor truck bed liner. Its not a smooth finish like some people like. I like the "tougher" look to it though. The nice part about Plastidip? It easily peels off. The crappy part...

Usually when that happens people make some pretty cool stuff. I really like the flat load bike rack with some really beautiful bikes on the back. Cheers to a...

    2004 Can't buy it so build it the best I can.

    Been on here for a while now, always lurking, sometimes posting. A lot of dreaming though. There are some really amazing rigs on this site. I wish I could get my hands on some of the goodies that others have, but I have had a motto with all my rigs. "Don't replace it till you break it." this...

    How much lift is too much. Article Link.Lift isn't everything

    I have a reason for wanting 33's for the looks and functions, but until I truly run into a point I cannot pass, I wont get them... But damn I want them.

    How much lift is too much. Article Link.Lift isn't everything
