    I have a set of WeatherTech matts in my 2010 Prerunner (Originally had them in my '07 and took them out when it got totaled. They fit in my Prerunner). They are great. Easy to clean as well - just pull them out and hose them down. I've been abusing them for 5-6 years now.

    I have weather techs,the fronts are great but the rear keep curling up on the ends. Do you have any issues with this? I may try a heat gun and reshape them.

    I don't have that issue. Try a heat gun or air drier (if your married or live with your mother, haha joke). That may help. Heat it up and place something heavy on it for awhile

    I'm Creak-less and it's one of the things I'm most impressed with about my old truck after all we've been through.

    Can't disagree with the sound deadening, a great upgrade in itself....
    but I would definitely run down the source of your creaks.... not typical in my experience.

    Yikes ! :eek: I've been bitten by the LED bug !

    Swapped out the interior and reverse lights for starters.....
    Under hood and bed lights coming next, but By Far, the most fun and rewarding little project upgrade I did this week was fabbing up lights in the glove box and better yet, the arm rest cubby complete with a little button switch that turns 'em on when the door and lid is opened. Wicked Cool ! Hell, I even impressed myself ! :cool:

    Oh yeah.... did I mention the Redline hood lift kit ? Another Excellent and functional addition to my truck.

    New craigslist wheels and tires this afternoon, after those Sumo springs go in ! :thumbsup:

    I bought new brake springs and shoes, the drums weren't in bad shape at all. Smooth with a very very small ridge so I didn't touch them.

    They will settle and soften up big time over the course of about 6 months. Mind did just that.

    I wouldn't go through the hassle of pulling the drums, unhooking everything, just to reuse a part that is disposable. Doesn't make sense when the springs are cheap.
