Looks amazing but gawd damn the price!

 

@ClassyTacos great vids, keep em coming.

 

Lol, I was listening to like half those songs just last week

 

Just so you know...
You only have to turn off your headlights to remove the glare from the license plate bulbs. (don't need headlights on when looking backwards)

Simple flick of the switch and your reverse bulbs will make the area jump to life.

 

Or get the delete in reverse harness. It turns off the license plate lights when you put the truck into reverse.

I have it on my custom strobe harness and its great.

 

Turning off the switch is Free. Simple. Reliable.

 

Over the past three days -

• Installed Hard Tonneau cover
• Installed OEM power tailgate
• Installed retro accent stripes
• Installed tailgate accent letters
• Removed tailgate 4x4 and installed retro 4WD badge
• Installed Blackvue DR750X-2CH Plus
• Installed grocery net
• Installed Spiker Hood Struts

 

Which UCAs did you go with? More than likely after you had them replaced the alignment shop moved your tires back in the wheel well. (that's why your are rubbing)
If you have adjustable UCA's? The shop can try and move your tires forward and set your alignment correctly. (increase the Caster) Then all you would need is some plastic trimming in the front. Looks like you have a 2WD??
Body mount relocation seems a bit extreme. The cab floor and your pinch weld would be your limiting factors also, so relocating the cab mount might not buy you as much clearance as you may think.
Removal of the factory body mount decreases the frontal side collision safety of the truck.
(The companies that sell them need to have some serious disclaimers that state: "it is intended for off-road use ONLY", and other legal jargon, or they open themselves up to huge lawsuits) But that's a different topic.

 

Did my first "mechanical" mods, intermittent wiper stalk and seat jackers on the driver side. I'll probably do the passenger side soon. And some fun stuff.

 

Got my ARE CX HD installed yesterday. Love it!

 

This is the exact same story as my dad, he upgraded his 1950s tool boxes to basically your same box/table set up a couple months ago and every time I stop over he is just sitting in his garage.

I can’t wait to start on my new garage, I’m remodeling a house I bought a few months ago, and want to re do my whole set up. I had a great garage before but the temp house I am living in since selling mine is 100% packed with all our furniture/appliances. I can’t even find half of my tools.

 

I was juuuust about to link that. Haven't hooked mine up yet (being lazy and bundling this with a tailgate lock install), but I imagine it'll be a game changer.

Turning off your headlights like someone mentioned works, but nifty little touches like the harness are super cool.

 

I love it, makes it so easy. My harness is a little more custom though, I have a trigger to turn on reverse lights, trigger for strobes, meso tt1, and the turn off license lights all in 1 custom harness.

 

Great job! Got a link for the white Toyota lettering?

 

Kind of digging the tailgate latch lettering. Which of the Reds do y'all think matches closest to the TRD Centercap color?

 

I found them here: https://tinyurl.com/Tailgate-Latch-Letters

 

Yeah, it seems to be a bit higher than competitors, but you really CANT beat the quality of the product. It looks and feels so damn good. lol

 

Thanks for the PSA. I won’t go that route. I think I’ve trimmed all the plastic I could and I beat the pinch weld to high hell. I was also thinking about re-doing the CMC and taking some more metal off. I did it with a friend that welds but neither of us had ever done a CMC. I’m exploring that option. The UCAs I bought aren’t adjustable. They are by Freedom Off Road. I took it back to the alignment shop three times and the guy said that’s the best he could do so I’m stuck with the rub until I figure something out.
