    TC, in waiting for better weather over the winter I e started to pile up what needs to be installed since last Nov. Anyone else in the same boat? I thiiiiiiiiink I'm going to go about trying it all myself. I'm not an idiot and have done my own standard work like oil, brakes, window motors, windshield motors, etc. I have the following to tackle:

    RCI Roof rack: doing it for sure....only really worried about the rubber blocks/leaks but should be good.

    Westcott 20 degree sliders: should be "easy" enough if I can figure out what washer goes where. Drilling the frame is my only worry.

    Westcott TRD Pro Lift: I'm hesitant on this...but seems like it's mostly just bolts, hammering on the new perches and making sure to get an alignment. Only using the front.

    Icon RXT leaf pack (incoming): seems easier than the westcott lift...just hefty to work...seems easy enough...thinking setting 2 due the install list + having a diamondback HD...looking to get a bedrack later...maybe a small rtt. Thinking lvl2 is best case scenario as to not have to switch between 2 and 3

    Cooper Maxx 255/85r16 (incoming): won't be able to do this...and not coming until July I think. Might just bite the bullet and install everything, get an alignment have some install the tires on stock TRD Pro rims (I like em) and get another alignment

    What's thoughts on my install assessments? I have the tools and can find the time. Doable?

    You can do a lift on your own. I did mine. It is good to see it done a time or two first.

    I’m most looking forward to down pipes. I have some electrical stuff to do, but work has been insane for the past 3 or so years haha.

    Will probably try to take a week off this spring or summer to do "me" stuff. Maybe will do it then too and take time to do it right

    Oh look, another mod....

    I've been waiting to install that mod that gives me 84MPG, with my lift and super-duper large tires. But it keeps getting delayed. Damn supply chain shortages!

    I've only got the vintage TRD Grill to swap out on my Sport. I think my wife will notice it as well as the Raptor Lights that go with it! lol (I'm Air Force guy)

    Did the OEM LED Headlights a couple months ago...LED license plate (with the plastic half covers)...and DD Fog lamps.

    I'm enjoying the upgrades and looking forward to Spring/Summer!

    You can definitely knock it out in a couple sessions. A week of mods would be fun.

    Evo A SmartCap, Cali Raised Sliders (0 degree), 2WD low Mod, Puddle Pods, 3 switch overhead panel, 8 slot middle console panel, Custom driver's switch panel, Rek Gens, 265 75 16 Falkens, lil B Bed Stiffeners, All new Speakers, Diff Breather, AC Drain, Many interior bits...
    I am waiting on the puddle pods to be available so I can be efficient and do as much as possible in one tear-down.
    I wish I knew when they were landing - so I would know if it is better to tear into it now and leave the pods for later... otherwise I may be excessively postponing until next year waiting for pods...

    I plan to do:
    - Puddle Pods
    - 2WD Low mod (Can anyone provide insight into how long this install takes?)
    - Connect above to the new overhead switch I recently added
    - Add Sound deadening in doors
    - Install new Tweeters
    - Install new Front door speakers
    - Install new rear door speakers
    - Add 110v plug in the cab.
    - Install new 7 (or is it 8?) switch center panel
    - Install additional switches in above panel

    New goodies, I have to finish my @kmorgan3 400w anytime mod and re-do some stuff on my electronic cooling fan.

    hopefully a lil more power out of the downpipes. I already have the Y pipe removed, new muffler and resonators. So we’ll see.

    Finally got a few days to myself and installed Baja Designs S8 light bar in the lower grill, squadron pro ditch lights and S2 reverse lights. All are wired into my Switch Pro. Still have a Prinsu rack to mount and a Baja Designs lightbar to go on it.

    I knocked out my lift and wheels and tires a month back. Planned 3 days but had everything done in 2. Nothing more rewarding then getting under your vehicle and putting your own blood sweat and tears into it.

    Nice that you did it! Did you have a second set of hands to help?

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's within the ability. Def. a plan it out thing.
