    Super simple, just took off the tail light. There is a hole where the brake light cables run. Stick the cable in there then ran it over the storage box then over the wheel well. on the other side of the well I just ran it down under the edge of the bed and there is a rubber grommet in the back of the cab you punch out. I didn't feel like re-soldering the coax cable to the fitting so I drilled out this hole to 3/4 and put a 3/4 rubber grommet in so it doesn't rip the cable. Then ran the coax along the door sill and under the seat to the center console. Ground wire I ran through the same hole in the bed then down to a bolt on the frame. Took me a total of like an hour to remove, drill, run the cable then bolt it all back up.

    Well good and bad day. Still cleaning out stuff and getting for Garage Sale of my Woodworking and Automotive stuff. Got Email that my MESO map light will be here today but went out to move truck and RF Headlight has a lot of moisture on the inside. So $200+ for new housing Left one fine, no rain haven't washed it just cool night and sun shinning on it. Damn and only 35K miles on my 2010 TRD Sport so it has the darker tinted housing. Will wait until first of month to get maybe the garage sale will help pay for it.

    hmm, I noticed a jingling sound from under my truck after the lift and when I went to inspect it I found brackets not re-attached to either side of the Dakar leafs that hold the parking brake lines in place. I went ahead and put a screw in to re-attach them, I wonder if they were not secured by accident or if the leafs being fully extended would pull on the break lines...

    Thanks. I did not get numbers, just had all the lug nuts and u-bolts re-torqued @ 100 miles. If it deosn't get better as the truck settles then I will see about another alignment and get the numbers at that point.

    FWIW:
    After a good alignment, it was better on-road. Still, not perfect and had some wobble feeling.
    After SPC LR uppers, it was 100% better and felt more factory.

    I'm on 5100s at 0 and 885s with SPC LR uppers, Fox Perf Series 2.0 ext travel and Deaver AAL in stock 3-leaf pack.

    I left mine unattached because I need to adjust them. The way they are now, if I attached them they’d get ripped apart.
