    Mods currently in progress...
    - Gusseted spindles, installing second side tomorrow morning
    - +2 McNeil front fenders, fitted them last weekend and have been prepping them for paint during my lunch breaks all week
    - New pioneer touch screen going in hopefully tomorrow or sunday
    - Mesh grill, after replacing my painted chrome grill with a color matched one I never reinstalled the mesh. Still need to put another layer of goop
    - new front and rear kicker door speakers
    - B.a.m.f. hangers and shackles should show up in the mail within a week or two

    will be taking a bunch of pictures and this post is pretty meaningless without anything to look at!

    How are you liking those Nitto's? Getting new tires when my rims arrive in Janurary and can't decide between the Nitto's or the Falken Wildpeaks.

    Install went fine-ish? Definitely take your time. The aftermarket wiring harnesses are a godsend for those of us (me) who are not good with wiring. The issue I ran into was the steering wheel controls. The harness I bought had flip switches (8 off/on switches) that differed with head unit and model of Tacoma. I initially did the wrong sequence, but fixed it and all is good to go! I did not use Maestro, instead I went with a CRUX SWRTY-61S.

    The other time-sink was pulling all the trim to put the USB underneath it all. Definitely do the hidden USB if you have the chance. I love the look (or rather no-show) of it already.

    Sounds like allot of what I did. Have you, or do you plan to add cool bucket gussets and alignment cam tab gussets? I’ve done both and can say that they are worth it. Last alignment I had was in 2015 and I’m just string to need another one soon. Those tab gussets make a massive difference.

    Lift, sliders, skids & some other stuff.
    I have some Christmas bonus fo me cash. I have a Jones for either: A full set of RCI skids (maybe with an exhaust reroute)...or a Ruger PC m#19124. I only have the OEM splash pan currently, and its been fine for the light off-road that I've done so far, but I want to venture further afield in the future. But...
    Maybe both?

    Instead of foam, consider “self adhesive bulb seal.” It’s not porous, doesn’t break down fast, and you can get it in nearly any profile you want. I ran it under the FlipPac and never had a leak.
