Added a toybox and some 36s

Couldnt leave well enough alone...

sweet toyota! :awesomework: i love the design on those half doors!

 

[brokenparts]

thanks... now I got to do the other 3 doors! I think that the cup holders up there make more sense than putting them in the middle of the door like you see a lot of guys do.

 

[rooinater]

it looks good :awesomework: as soon as i get a second set of doors for my truck i'll make some half doors.

What's the specs on your steering ram?

 

[brokenparts]

actually I decided to go with a different steering ram than the one pictured. That one sucks because the attatchment points would not have allowed any movement... I went with this one from Surplus center..
