My ‘16 TRD OR with some junk I built on it out of Central Texas.

We are heading to CO from TX on the 15th of this month. Y’all be looking out for us.

I have a canvas sea bag that they get packed in for travel. They either ride strapped down in the back floor board or in the bed of the truck. Depending on how many people are riding in the truck.

When you get a bunch of fitters, welders and millwrights together you gotta do some cooking...lol

I’ll add this for the group campers.... 3/32 breakfast tacos 3 pounds sausage 3 pounds bacon 2 dozen eggs Feeds 6-8 hungry fellas.

My awesome wife picked me up a snorkel for my birthday.... Wife level.... AWESOME!

On a side note.... If you are a metal fabricator and you don't own one of these saws you are really missing out.

I am going to do my best to make this a no cut design on the plastic bumper cover (no promises) as well as making a small improvement on the approach angle. The lower valance should be the only part of the stock bumper that requires cutting. I plan on having a smooth transition from the bumper...
