    I want to mount one on my rear bumper or side of the front bumper so I can more easily jump start (others). So I'm looking for something like this: [​IMG]
    But I cannot seem to find any in larger than SB50 sizes - which I feel is too small to handle jump loads.

    I finally got my "recent" interior mods finished!

    Not that I need them yet, but I finally got my Due Bill fulfilled by the dealership for my heated seats install. They worked with me, as they initially wanted to install those cheesy round button on the seats, but I said no, I want factory-looking switched installed in the overhead. I supplied the Shapeways overhead switch panel for them, and they did the rest! Super happy with the results.

    Finally got the Joying head unit fully working with my 2021; steering wheel controls, rear camera, powered sub, GPS, everything!! I love this thing, it blows the stock Entune out of the water.

    Installed the Alpine PWE-S8 powered sub behind the driver's side rear passenger seat. First time doing this, and it really wasn't bad. Gives me the extra bit of bass that I need on top of the Kicker speakers.

    And lastly, no more chrome Toyota emblem blinding me. Plus it gives my truck that little bit of green it was missing.

    Can you share some details on what the wiring of the sub was like? Specifically connecting to the head unit.

    I got some pointers from @5nahalf on how-to, but I basically just ran the RCAs from the sub to the HU, then used a 2-to-1 adapter since I only had one RCA input on the HU (like $10 at Besy Buy). Then ran the blue remote turn on wire up to the HU as well, and used a T tap to splice into the blue wire on the radio harness. The hardest part was running the power wire through the rubber grommet in the firewall from the battery to inside the cab - it was a bitch for me. But once I did that, I ran it to the sub harness, and just drilled a hole into some metal (you can see this in the pic) using a self-tapping screw for the ground wire. I ran the RCA and blue wire on one side of the truck using the channels on the floor, and the power and sub control knob on the other side of the truck, to avoid interference.

    It took me about 2 hours to get it all done, which would've been fine if not for the fact that it was 101 outside.

    Stuff that costs more than my wife thinks.
    Installed OEM Bed lights, interior and license plate LED's, and the new bed mat earlier.

    Still have RC seat covers for the rear's coming, and plenty of other things on the short list.

    That is so clean and sick. Looks like you finally got sometime to work on your truck. From following on IG, I can tell you guys have been slammed the last couple of months.

    That’s correct. 33x12.5x20 with a three inch lift. I do have a cmc but I’m looking into a cab mount relocation. With the factory UCAs (horrible ride) I didn’t rub but I replaced them with aftermarket extended UCAs and now I rub pretty bad but the ride is much better.

    Nothing fancy, but made some mounts to keep my recovery boards secure. I’m waiting on some knobs to arrive this weekend from Amazon to remove them without a bit more ease.

    I was 100 yards behind a Subaru Brat that hit a moose. All I saw was a "poof" of spray in my headlights and the tail lights of the Subaru swerving erratically. The roof and glass looked a lot like that. Peeled back like a sardine can.

    The occupants were lucky. The moose was tall and they pretty much went under it. But they each had 10.000 cuts from glass shards and there was moose offal everywhere. The entire guts of the moose was in that car. Blood and guts, but both were alive but dazed and hysterical.

    I had two 12 year old boys in the car with me. We were returning home from an ODP soccer training. A real life lesson for them.
