Not cheap but really high quality and have a lot of extra places to tap power off of or ground to. They made it a lot cleaner doing my aux buss, aux battery, solar, yada.

 

Installed a set of Cali Raised Rock Sliders today.

 

Should I get Ditch Lights / brackets or the TRD Pro Grill Insert first? Decisions decisions!

 

It’s worth it. And not bad to do yourself. I used cquartz uk 3.0.

 

Save up for a good set of lights for your ditch lights

 

Doggo is like "Yup, my supervisory job here is done... outtie!"

 

Replaced chrome bumper caps with Magnetic Gray Metallic painted bumper caps.

 

Replaced the plate and backup lights with Morimoto LED's.
Ready to wave in a 747 for landing now.

 

You are absolutely right. I like how your cover stands up -- so you don't lose that reach over / easy access to the bed.

Worth noting for folks looking at tonneau / bed covers. Look carefully for a tonneau that makes it easy to access that part of the bed closest to the cab. I wish I had done that. Not complaining ... and it is a minor convenience ... but falls into the category of "If I knew then what I know now I would have got a different solution."

Might be helpful for folks researching in the future.

 

Which specific backup lights did you go with? Got a link? Thank you.

Mounted F5s on the stock OR tires…love the wheels but these tires are so gross. My heart says cooper stt pro’s but my wallet says wildpeaks…decisions



also need to sand and paint those rear drums

 

Where did you get them?

 

Save up for the STT Pros you’ll be happier

 

Love your setup man, will definitely get the STT pro’s. Those look in the ballpark of 285s right?

 

No Focal? I have a set and I cant imagine them being any better.

 

Curious about why you waited, was it because you had a cover already?
I don’t have a cover yet and I was thinking of grabbing a mat as well; I’m in this weird place I have neither and does one need both?

 

Mounted some "good enough for now" grab-handles to the roof rack and and with the money I saved on handles...a Mountain Hatch.

 

Holy Cow! That looks amazing! Where from and did you do it yourself?

 

Thanks, I appreciate it. That’s great advice and I really just got lucky that my friend had one and was able to show me how much of a difference it makes before I bought one. Hopefully I can pass that along to help people with their research.
