    Good idea! Should have asked my local dealer to price match. Thanks for the tip on the packaging. I will call on Monday to ask. :thumbsup:

    I don't know Mike, if I had the dual horns like you and like most here I likely wouldn't upgrade at all if I thought they were loud enough. It's silly really that Toyota doesn't put two in all trucks, they probably pays $5 a horn. I have hopes that these PIAAs will be good as others say, I do like the sound, will know soon enough :)

    My wife does that too. She will drive around for 10 minutes to find that perfect spot... Ill park in the back and walk 1 minute and get in. My wifes car also looks terrible, she has broken lights, dents, scratches, curbed wheels. There is a reason she is not allowed to drive my truck.

    Drivers side and guessing a couple trips to DV and Mojave must have been rougher then I thought. I drilled a stop hole for now and will keep an eye on it until I figure out a better long term fix...

    The right rubber bumper that protects the bed when it is folded all the way to cabin came off. I put some adhesive on it and some weight so I can't take a pic of the actual cover until it dries. I can show how I ran the drain hose and what I did with the drop brackets. For the drain hose I bought two rubber grommets (1-1/8OD x 23/32ID) from Lowes and used a 7/8" spade drill bit to drill the holes in the front of the bed. I cut the hose to length and then put the smooth finished end through the grommet and the edge I cut to the bed cover. Next, the drop brackets (4 - short bed, 5 - long bed) are a aluminum, but everything in the bed is black, so I spray painted the brackets with bumper coat black paint. This is a fantastic cover. I had the older BakFlip G2 on a previous truck and over the years they have really improved on the G2. Couldn't be happier.

    Added another MESO mod. Total Tail Stage 1. Looks good, always happy with your products Stew! The product name for this reminds me of the Total Tank from Santa Clause though... probably watching too many Christmas movies!

    Are you talking about the Meso tail light stage 1? If so, maybe @Digging Holes below can help. He just installed his I believe? Have any pics?

    I just did the MESO install this afternoon. I had a little difficulty with the reverse light locking in too. Just carefully pull the tabs up on the socket and then it will slide right in. Both sides were pushed to the bottom about 1mm too far to connect. Good luck!

    Just installed the SumoSprings and I’m happy with the results. Hit some whoops and I actually like the stiffer feel. Body roll seemed tighter as well and everything seems much more planted. Biggest change was while winding out first gear then grabbing second and chirping the tires. The truck used to buck a couple times now it chirps and just hooks. Excited to feel the difference next time I tow.
