    You would think they would incentivize people to buy a car. Preparing blatantly bad deals isn't the smartest way to churn up some business. The manufacturers are doing their part with huge discounts and financing options.

    I did that today too but in Cement. Everything that was gunmetal grey is now cement. I still need to do the steering wheel trim and the gunmetal trim inside the instrument cluster.

    If you follow the instructions to the letter, the "RedLine" struts open the hood to the same level as the prob because you use the prop to hold the hood up while you select your hole location.

    I expect that you could ask a helper (or rig something up) to hold the hood to the level that you want and then mark and drill the holes, but you would also need to make sure that you had room for the total compression of the struts with the hood closed.

    Don't get me wrong, I really like the "RedLine" struts and they do exactly what they advertise. I just think if I had seen a "no-drill" option that opens the hood further by default; then I might have gone that way. The only issue with the no-drill struts might be how much access to the engine bay the struts block from the side. The no-drill options look a lot longer and I don't know if they would cause an access issue for me. Of course both options block access to a point and in the worst case for either strut system, you could pop off the struts and use the stock prop pretty simply.

    Edit: Just watched a video on the no-drill struts, the low angle of them might actually give you better side access :wink:

    Rugged Off-road 2.25” and 1” blocks. 285/70r17 on TRD 4Runner SEMA wheels
    Finally finished up the new Tacoma. 4Runner TRD SEMA wheels offer an excellent offset to match up with the fender flares. Predator steps are on, mud flaps, blacked out emblems. Lift again is 2.25" Rugged Offroad spacer, 1" block in the rear. Rides awesome. No rubbing...........but haven't driven it hard off road yet. Liking this set up!

    What panels are these? I've been looking at some of the goal zero boulder panels because there's a mount kit available and because I want to be able to add/remove it fairly easily... still curious about other options too.

    Yup stock height. There was surprisingly minimal rubbing before any trimming or cmc. I've been meaning to post a before after trimming/cmc and I'm closing in on a 1000 mile update on the tires, but have been busy.

    Honestly I can't tell the difference. It was something I was pretty worried about especially because of the access cab weight, but so far its about the same. I need to do a chalk test but for now I'm running 40 psi all around. The only notable performance change is on hills, she is a bit of a dog now (4 banger life), but with the manual transmission I just run a higher RPM before shifting and I'm still very happy with the ride.

    Cleaned her all up. Supposed to have those hood props some folks on here bought recently delivered today, guess I’ll put those on. Shined up pretty good.

    These are Renogy panels. The way I've mounted them, it's a permanent installation, but you could certainly fab something up where you could remove them. They do make those flexible thin ones too if those are more up your alley.

    Finally had the exhaust re-routed so we could install the BAMF t-case skid. Also had an access panel cut into our front skid so we have easier access to the oil filter.
