Mounted some marker/grille/raptor lights in the hood scoop. Tapped them into the marker light, so they don't run with the DRL, but come on whenever the parking lights are on.

I was too frugal to buy a Toyota bed liner so I purchased a 5' x 7' x 1/2" stall mat and cut it to fit the contours of the box. For $50 CDN I got a factory 2nd that was plenty good enough for the back of my truck.

Installed a set of All-Pro Off-Road's Channel Bed Stiffeners.

Installed super bumps in all 4 corners and a ubolt flippy boi. Forgot to grab any pictures during the install but it was easy enough. Now to drive 50 miles and make sure they’re still tightened up to German spec....

Do you feel a difference in ride Offroad with them?
How many inches of lift do you have?
Would you recommend them?

With a bunch of help from TW I finally tackled the front facing camera today. It works great!

They function like dimples on a golf ball so you can turn the steering wheel faster and truer.[/QUOTE]

And it adds 5 hp.

A picture from the back of the grille showing your mount would be helpful and appreciated.

The RAM Large X-grip mount from RAM Mounts on Amazon.

Put on a "Taco Rated" emblem from Seven Slot United It's a thick metal emblem that doesn't bend easily. Couldn't find a good flat spot on the fender or door, so it had to go on the bumper.

What bumper is that?

Soooooo, continuing on with this clusterphuck, I wanted a control panel at the first door, closest to the driver door. That way I could get out, walk back and turn on the lights. (no, don't need another switch panel from the driver seat. I'm not that desperate..lol) So I made this. I'll mount the switches tomorrow and we'll have a light show for tomorrow night. There will also be some charging stations, voltage monitors and other technical crap I don't have but would take donations...lmao. Oh, and a first aid kit bigger than the one in the truck cab. I appreciate all the kind words from you folks too. I'm just a old dude who likes to make stuff, and I enjoy the hell out of doing cool things with simple tools.

Very nice..........I need to make a panel for my electronics in the back still. The 2nd battery will be going into the bed with all electrics; USB, 12V, Solar, and CTEK DC to DC. Just have to figure out a good plan.

Looks great! Love the tires, I went back and forth with that size as well. I think when I replace I will move to that size.......................

Yeah, that's what I'm doing too. I've got a 65 series handy so I'll use it until I get a AGM. I'm putting in a charging port from Battery Tender, which I have so I can plug it in when I get back from a trip.
Thank you.

Finally got the the tall and skinnies! 255/85/16 Cooper St Maxx I think they look super sexy I measured the actual tread width on both my stock 265/70/16 and the new tire while aired up and the stocks were 8 & 1/8” and the coopers are actually an 1/8th” bigger despite the coopers that have an overall width that is a lil bit narrower. I think the actual cooper width is 10.1” compared to 10.5” stock (not tread width)
Anyways i think they ride pretty nice! The bumps, sewer caps and cracks in the road are definitely less noticeable but the overall noise is a tad bit more, but hardly noticeable to me. No rub so far and have done a couple little 4wd trails near the house and even got stuck trying to plow through some snow (only temporarily though) From everything I can tell I have plenty of room. Time will tell I suppose
Oh and my exactly 15 mile trip to work now says it’s a 14.6 mile ride so I figure that makes my speedometer 2-3 mph off

I might put my rear mudflaps back on and save some windshields behind me
