AMEN! I HATE buying things for my truck... I'd rather build them. though I really need to learn to weld... and get another Toyota Pickup before I start doing that again...

the X isn't for off roading... no matter how much they advertise it as just that...




Zip ties are like Duct tape, Sea Foam, and WD40... mandatory items in your garage... but like Duct Tape... mandatory in every vehicle's emergency kit
