    Installed TRD exhaust. Love it. Sounds great driving around town. And can barely hear it on the highway. I do understand why some people dont like the drone. You can definitly hear it when stop and go driving.

    Install advice: Two people makes this job easy. Some of yall do it on your own and thats awesome. Extra hands help. And those rubber hangers suck. Putting the new exhaust onto the truck is super easy though.

    Had a Mercedes ML350 pull their right rear corner across my ARB. The lady then took off without stopping to see the big ass crease in her SUV. Haha

    Depends on how many/what wattage/amps. If only a low wattage pull, its not really necessary, but using a relay is still safer I think.

    I did this:
    Moved the trailer plug to the bumper, out of harms way when off roading.

    Because I did this:
    :annoyed::smack::der::censored: :itllbuffout: to the factory trailer plug while off roading. (no pictures)

    Because I need to haul this load of compost for the new front yard.

    I just followed the instruction posted here. I came out looking like it came from the factory that way (which it should have) and it is much easier to plug in the trailer.

    Thinking I'll probably not bother, just cause I don't feel like wiring a bunch of relays. I'd rather just have the switch and I don't normally leave things running that are hot from battery and not ignition.
    Appreciate the response man.

    Well, at least the LED should last longer than a standard bulb.

    Yeah, those classics have gotten to be so few and far between. Too many rusted away and another huge portion went on to be trail rigs. I've had this one since 08, and the previous owner made sure I wasn't going to cut it up into a trail rig. It's been a great little truck .. and I drove it daily for years, but it's time to find someone else who wants to enjoy it.
