    Pro Grill with garnish and some raptor lights. Prefer the stock with black surround. Grill sits in a box with the lights and garnish attached.

    A magnaflow muffler. Nothing but a noise maker and made me feel like a ricer. Also it gave me headaches after long rides. Thank the Lord I only had it on there about two weeks before I sold the truck.

    My new 2005 has a K&N intake on it, and I hate it, but it was free and it only makes noise when I pass slow pokes so not nearly as annoying. I could still do without it.

    Anyone want to trade me their stock airbox? Lol

    265/75/16 BFG K02 e rated. Great tires with great performance. Just so damn heavy at 54lbs, was unaware it would affect the truck the way they did. Even with a manual and 4.30 gears. Looking at the Wildpeaks in stock size for summer

    Random question: what’s the stock gearing I’m getting on a 2019 TRD Off-Road automatic...?

    Thanks. That’s not horrible. Especially given the stock tire size.

    I'm on the fence since I bought sliders for $250 without doing much research on how weld ons should be mounted and these were cut off with a plasma it looks like. So now I'm spending money to redo all the runners and make gusseted plates for them to weld onto. I'm still in it for less than new with shipping but my wife really let me have it over it.

    Buying the access cab was a no brainer for me, I needed that extra foot of bed space, and besides it just looks better. three years in I have not missed the extra space behind the seat.

    I’m ready to get rid of my heavy, stiff E rated tires too. I get about 14mpg (all city). Used to get 17-18mpg without trying hard with C rated and a lift.
    I guess I’ll have to try to sell the E rated ones.

    I'm gonna go for LT255/80R17s in the Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. I'll actually save weight over my 265/70R17 Hankook Dynapro ATM's which SUCK on road in any condition. Little bit of loose dust on the road? You betcha you're spinning tires.

    coleman single burner butane stove... sucks in the wind barely got a small pot of water warm in nearly 10 minutes on a northern maine trip had it in the bed with the stove box as a windbreak with 16OZ water in a covered pot. it lit up fine, and I had it on high, but the wind was too much.. not enough BTU's, was roughly 22degrees out. we had stopped for a lunch break and I was testing the $20 unit for future use.. seems to put out a bit of heat in calm breeze, but crappy in winds.. also heard some say they dont put out as much BTU's in cold temps due to the butane bottle/valve tend to freeze up... I wound up buying a JetBoil Flash along with the pot stand for it. just need to invest in some isopropane cans... anyone know a cheap-er source? Walmart has the larger 230-250gm cans for $10 each.

    I went for the name, not to mention I like the fact that it all nests inside itself, and i can get a larger pot, as well as a coffee press for it. mainly got it for the fact that it will boil water FAST!! for when I need my cuppa JOE!
