After almost a full year of enjoying my first new new truck, I've been bitten by the mod bug. I blame dallasjetfan because he gave me a deal I couldn't refuse on some Metal-tech Sliders.
Here she is Day One May 2010. I actually snapped this to send to me dad to talk me out of it. He was not successful.
Factory Options:
4x4, Convenience Package, Upgrade Pkg 2, Rear Locker, DRL
I chose not to put any money into upgrading the exterior and drivetrain/suspension since I KNEW I would be investing a lot into upgrade. That said, I kinda wish I would have spent the extra $2K for the TRD model on the lot.

Being my first new car, I wanted to enjoy factory for a while, but I hated banging my antennae on my work garage, so I installed a rubber spring antennae as the first "mod." A couple weeks later, I named it Tonka. Added Husky liners since the OEM All Weathers were recalled.
A couple weeks ago I installed the black TT grill and finally installed the hitch, which came with the black valance. I've also added the black handles and the TT cargo mat.
Texas opened up 7 character vanities in early March for 1 week. I couldn't resist; my brother actually suggested this name.
Devil is in the details... TRD Japan valve caps... have TRD Japan license plate bolts too.
