    yes, these are the Method 305 NVs 17-8.5 6-5.5 zero offset. Probably going to switch out the bolts for black ones

    Actually, it’s been longer than that. I pulled my brand new wheels out of the box, removed all the protection, cleaned and double coated them with Dr B’s. I put them back in the bed until they were installed a few months later. They’ve been on the truck for 8 months, so it’s probably been closer to a year. I definitely want to coat them again as soon as weather and schedule allow.

    The Baja designs looks sick but I’m stuck staring at your headlights! Are those the stock pro lights, morimoto, or alpharex? Looks awesome all together

    Just got my Fuel BLITZ Wheels installed. I think they look way better then the Stock wheels. Stock OR wheels do look good too but I really like the look of the BLITZ wheels.20210225_121519.jpg 20210225_121329.jpg

    Those are stock TRD PRO’s. You can actually see “TRD” on the passenger side and “PRO” on the driver’s side illuminated on the headlights.

    One suggestion, put the bolts through the foam washer and then start bolt before adhering washer to Taco. This helped me get better alignment on washer. On the first side I was off just a tad...

    Pretty productive day!

    Installed the MESO stage 1 tail lights, used Velcro to tuck away the little control box.

    Attempted install of MESO puddle light switch. But apparently it doesn't work for the 3rd gen. Bummer because it's a great idea, and let's you use them as ditch lights on the fly.

    Installed a set of greasable pins for my Dobinson leafs. They made these bolts shorter to prevent rubbing and still give you access to the zerk fitting. But for some reason it's still making contact on the passenger side...I didn't have time to file/cut off the tip of it or figure out why it's different. Strange to me that they wouldn't match...manufacturing variance maybe?

    Your truck looks good but the Jeep behind it is another story. Who in their right mind mounts 50 lbs of steel in front of the windshield???

    I needed a place for a large water bottle because the cup holders are too small. I made this MOLLE hanger for my camelback pouch.

    The puddle switch is supposed to be installed in the small switch opening. It wasn't designed for the tall switch.

    I think the bolt should face AWAY from the hanger, btw. That will keep it clear.

    Also, the switch opening you are trying to use is the toyota "tall" ones and the MESO switch is a toyota "short" switch.

    You could move the ECT button as noted a few pages back. Then the mirror light switch could go there.
