    Installed the front end 5100s from @HeadStrong Off-Road then went for a test flight! Two hours wheels off to wheels on, doesn’t get any easier!

    a mix between the instructions on their website and @boogie3478 's youtube video. was pretty easy to do just time consuming.

    The storms finally ended, giving me a chance to wash my truck after the new wheels were installed.

    Steal away! As of now I’m planning on the toyo open country R/T 285/75-R16

    The current tires on it are Nitto Grapplers 265/70-R16

    Any feelings on 255s? I’m thinking of going that route instead of 285s.

    Crazy question. I have a 2014 Sport 4x4. The radio now cuts out and display completely gone, then comes back up in less than 2 minutes. This
    now happens at least once in my 25 minute drive to work, both ways. Several weeks ago the radio going out was about once a week. Now
    much more frequent.

    What do you suggest? How difficult is the fix?

    Thank you!

    I think 255s are a great size that look good, I just really like the Toyo RTs which is very limited sizing for 16s.

    Aluminum inserts. They fixed the uplight (glare) to be within compliance which was the most egregious offender, but caused significant harm in the output in doing so. They did not fix the cut off sharpness.

    Is it restarting or is it like the display is cutting out and coming back on.

    I had a problem on my 2014, the whole head unit would restart its self every so often. Luckily I still had my warranty and Toyota replaced the entire unit

    I cut the negative battery clamp leaving the cable crimp along with a drilled tab to reattach to the new Xscorpion clamp. The stock clamp is tinned copper so this weekend I’ll tin the cut area to prevent corrosion. It came with a shim that could have been thicker but does secure well as is.

    i could save you a few bucks if this 55412-04050 is black. I've got the 4wd version with the switch and now since it won't do anything i don't really need the 4wd switch anymore.

    Tons of fun tucking all of those wires behind the head unit so you can put it back in the dash. :D

    "Park Avenue" ACDF horns
    It's been 1 week since my "new" 2015 TRD OR arrived.

    Here is the completed "To Do" list so far:
    painted tailgate latch with Krylon Fusion (satin black)

    Moved BartMaster1234 Park Avenue horns over from the '07

    Installed oem skid (from '07)

    Removed raptor nerd
    bars

    Re-painted "4x4" on rear mud flaps with Sharpie pen

    LED map light & dome light upgrade

    new bed cover (Truxedo roll-up)

    OEM chrome exhaust tip

    AC drain line mod with heater hose

    Photo below. If you look closely, you can see the "for sale" '07 in the background. Yes, I know, I am not much for change. Except for 120K fewer miles.
