    I've ordered the OPT-7 Blitz. How was the install? Did you need the relay Or was it more plug and play? Did you need the polarity switch as well?

    Even though it probably wasn't needed (I'd rather be safe than sorry down the road), I sanded the hell out of them with 60 grit then cleaned them good with brake cleaner (definitely needed). Over the course of about a week (mainly for curing time) I gave them a few coats of primer. The area that bolts to the frame I painted with matte black auto paint, the rest I gave a couple coats of bed liner. Super stoked on how they turned out. Can't wait to install them. I hope that helps.

    Decided to go ahead and have the ATF checked in my truck. After hearing horror stories of service centers either lying or flat out refusing to check the level, I was a bit worried. Toyota of Cool Springs checked it for me no questions asked. Even though there are 3 closer dealerships to my house, I chose Toyota of Cool Springs initially because of their service center. By the way, I was a full qt low. Glad I went ahead and had that checked.

    It was done locally at Austin Auto Interiors. Wasn't cheap, though.

    Vent Visors before I start digging around the threads

    For folks who have vent visor(in channel low profile), which manufacture did you use? Any issues from temp fluctuation where they fall off?

    Been a while but lots accomplished. Rough Country light bar installed, viper smart start w/GPS installed.
    I'm still waiting on the AAL and a few other parts for the Icon lift. Clears the 33s with a little trimming. Very happy with the decision to go E load on the BFGs. Makes the suspension work harder ;-) 20160612_114300.jpg 20160612_123853.jpg 20160614_075506.jpg

    I'm in Florida and did 15% all the way around. Also tinted the windshield to 60%. Makes a huge difference on the heat hitting the dash.
