After a late night wager with my wife I wrote and produced this music video. I know it is terrible but man it was fun.

Yeah, loving the 98 LX I bought. Been to Colorado 3x and offroaded the heck out of it up there. That tailgate cover video/build is sweet. I'm thinking of doing a "fancy" one with a cedar plank/veneer top.

I bet that will turn out nice! I am surprised I haven't seen more DIY versions than I have. It was a pretty easy project considering how much better it is than the nasty carpet!

Me too. I was shocked at how "cheap" the carpeted tailgate cover is/was. I changed out my tail lights and was let down by the carpet over cardboard that was the OEM cover. The ONE thing Toyota cheaped out on with the cruisers I guess.
