Truck failed inspection for May. Been thru 2 10 day rejection stickers. Still no word from toyota rep.

A decent undercoating on the frame and underbody components.

A fool and his money soon part ways...

So after reading a bunch of threads at TW and procrastinating an equal amount of time, I finally decided to install LEDs in the cab. I also put LEDs in the grill, ala "raptor" lights. I bought everything here: http://www.oznium.com The interior LEDs are...
