Default We will call it HERS

The reason behind calling it hers is because she bought it for me. I have been telling my GF for a year while she had been driving my GTI I wanted a truck. She finally got the job she had applied for since we met. She came home one day and told me to pick out the truck I wanted to drive since she had been in my GTI for a year and a half. Naturally I pick the one I have been wanting since it was a concept by Toyota to build. This is my first Toyota , I will have to say I have loved it from first eyes set on it.

My first mod was a under the hood suburban retractable light. It has a magnet on the back of it so you can place it just about anywhere under the hood and it sticks. This light can be found on ebay for about 15.00 plus shipping if you do not want to go junk yard hoping.(psst that is half the fun)

For my second MOD I added rock sliders. Reading blue and seeing some of the damage off road can give you it was a natural choice for the second mod. These was bought from Steve at Southeast overland in SC.








I will be adding some webbing inside the tubes. Sometime she is called grace and it is for a reason. God bless her kind soul if it is to happen it will to her. I think sometimes if it was meant for her to trip over her own 2 feet she would.

Looking good. So what kind of sliders are those? They almost look like Trail Gear? And you light mod. What year suburban does it come out of? I assume it comes from the factory magnetic?

The slider company is out of business. The suburban we had was a 93 so I guess it would start about 90 or so. Yes it is a stock magnet on it.

Will be posting pictures of Pioneer AVH-P2300DVD Double-DIN DVD Receiver installed in the next few days. Next on the list is either pop outs for the rear or OME kit for the raising hell part.
