I painted the Hi-lux and put a spare in the bed. I'm debating if I should use one of my Rogue drop bed kits and redo the drop bed. I also need to add interior and exterior details. Flat black hood maybe?

Thanks guys. Nothing really to update, just need some scratchs on the fresh paint. lol

Sliders are a possibility but a bumper is out cause I don't wanna sacrifice approach angle.

Sometimes that mentality costs me alot of time and money. Seems like I do major body repairs after I run the Hilux.

I run OG Bruiser with the chino mod and a Hilift medium length cut in half so it only goes to the front half on themain spring. I mainly did that to act as a "anti-wrap" leaf while not really affecting flex.

Damn!!! I got all 4 leafs in the chino pack plus a 5/8 spring on top towards the front and a half spring on bottom towards the back and it still flexs out good!!! That's 6 springs in the pack!!
