    whoever gets the ladder will also get a pair of Raingler headrest grab handles. which proved to be really convenient for backseat passengers.

    A rack and ladder is on my list for the T4R... hopefully I can get one sooner rather than later. What rack did/do you have?

    i had a Bajarack Utility rack. i loved it. the fact that it was a platform, rather than a basket.

    Sweet. I had been eyeing the gobi stealth awhile back with the ladder. But we'll see when the time comes.

    i thought it fit very well. better than anything else i had used. fit so well that often times i'd tweak the rear view mirror taking it off.

    I will take the ARB awning if available. Needs something to cover my beer cooler and recliner.

    Is there an OBDII type Scangauge app for IOS that can monitor RPM, Speed, codes etc on an app? Essentially mobile scangauge or better?

    Edit: Better than the Ultragauge. That look clunky.

    Buddy just bought a 2018 Cement TRD OR LB. We just took off the mud flaps and side steps with 200 miles on the odo.

    Anyone local in the market for Predator Steps? $400.

    They're covered in pollen, but they're brand new.

    PMed could definitely use the ladder & pick up today.:)

    [edit] Saw that @Misplaced Nebraskan / @WebberLander beat me to the punch. I'll take 2nd backup.

    I use a wireless OBDII adapter and Torque / OBD Fusion. Works great, and is pretty easily customizable. If you have an Android phone, you can use any obdii adapter you want, and they are readily available for under $50.

    If you want to use an iDevice, you just have to be careful of what adapter you buy. I use this one:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073...F8&qid=1528742760&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65

    It's compatible with iOS and OBDFusion...and also compatible with Carista (which lets you flash parts of your ECU.... Like turning off the seat belt chime, or rolling down all windows when the key is turned and held in the door, etc).

    Unfortunately, Carista is pretty overpriced for us because none of the customizations or advanced features are enabled due to Toyota's encryption. Have to use a Techstream for access to those features.
