You're going to have to tell me where that is. I'm in Montana and I'm planning on running up to Canada later this year.

Thanks guys! Short but sweet.
Sounds good dude! Can't wait until the end of the month...
Lol I know how that goes....
Gold Creek Falls
Yes, thats the "Powerline" trail opposite to frank slide. We took the switchbacks instead of the straight climb at the last part of the ascent due to the rain. I actually made it up all those steps without being locked and I was only down to 20 psi... wasn't too bad!
Crowsnest Pass, AB. So much out there to explore. Give me some dates and I might even be able to give you the grand tour!

Thanks! Just need out there a few more times this summer... so I can take MORE pictures. I seriously am having photography withdrawals this year.
UPDATE - got my headlights retroiftted and installed on the truck. Also put in white Morimoto XB LED bulbs for the rear turn signals, same bulbs I have in the front. They are pretty expensive at $45 per pair but holy cow are they bright. I'm going to order reverse and stop light bulbs on my next order to the retrofit source so I can have everything swapped over to LED on the truck. I'm going to try and shoot a short video in the next couple weeks and show off some of the lighting stuff.

I might have to look into those morimotos...or something similar. I like that they can basically double for rear floods.

Looks like some pretty nice shots! That 2nd gen Tundra is pretty sweet on the rocks, the "mood" one you posted. Like the b/w of yours as well! I find it ironic that a guy goes from an LX to a 4R, that's a better direction to go
Found you your next build project. a 1996 Toyota Mega Cruiser, only $109k in Vancouver You can legally get this, apparently we can't get these in the US (at least not for another few years until 25 years rolls over). Diesel.

Ditto.
I wish mine had the white mirror covers and white grill with no chrome strips...
The debadge job looks good too.

The truck looks great. Giving me too many ideas for mine.
Which morimoto bulbs did you go with and did you use a resistor? I'd like to do this to mine. Also, did you actually remove the chrome pieces and fill the holes on the bumper and grill?
