    Treated my just installed Clazzio PVC with 303 Aerospace protectant…now it has the durability of the “Leather and Vinyl, combined! Because it could withstand a trip to the moon and back.

    I agree. I been really modest with my upgrades since I got my truck brand new and paid cash. I know I can go crazy but I don’t want to work more than three days per week. I just want to enjoy my free time and my truck.

    Got the platform done for the driver's side rear seat delete. It just looks like a board, but it's two pieces hinged so I can tilt it forward on the seat brackets. Can't say I'm terribly happy with it. Too many concessions and problems and everything turned out a little off. It's like the Wish.com version of what I was going for. I guess I'll call it version 1.0

    On a wild hair I just went through all of my DMs, paypal statements, and Amazon purchases. I should color the ones I got from this website, but I want to say it's a solid 80% at least. From this screenshot alone, the only purchase that I did without TW planting the bug in my brain was the softopper. Mayyybe the shitty light bar: I wont blame TW for that one.

    $7800 in the hole, all total. Not the worst horror story, but not fucking great either. :spending::anonymous::anonymous:

    I think I'll start a new tab and work on compiling the parts list to my pop-up camper. That one is probably worse. :bananadead:

    Lol. Not only have I spent money on my truck(s) as a result of this website, but I've bought tools, knives, and other things that were on sale that I otherwise wouldn't have known about.

    Not sure if I should remove the air dam on my SR5 RWD and take off the factory metal cover and install a skid plate.

    I didn't even think of that.:annoyed:


    I also now daily carry a knife that someone recommended. Before this site I thought EDC knives were dumb. I discovered rivnuts and self soldering connectors. I bought camping gear and coffee makers based on member reviews. I have traveled to certain campsites, parks, trails, and bars. Because of TW I watched other TW members attempt the 72oz steak at the Big Texan.


    Yeah, this site sucks. :D

    Will look much better without the chin strap and a real skid plate will give you a lot better protection up front. :thumbsup:

At the same time, I also installed an ARB Dual Compressor on a Rago Fabrication mount. By using the Rago mount for the compressor, I was able to keep my SwitchPros in relatively the same spot.

    In the past, I’ve sourced my own components for dual battery kits I’ve installed but I was on somewhat of a deadline so I wanted a plug and play system. I also like the option of the BCDC 1225 because I plan to add a solar panel in the future. The other cool option with the Off Grid Engineering kit is the dash mounted switch to jump start the start battery.

    That thread made me LOL. I'm about 50% certain it was a troll thread, but I can't decide what's worse: if it were, or if it weren't...?

    Super easy. Hardest part was the e-brake boot got twisted since I didn't fully remove it from the handle and I had to work it around to get the console reinstalled.

    Finished the Clazzio and Seat Heater install today. About 15 hours over two days to get this done. My install was made more complicated by the fact that I ran the power to a distribution unit under the rear seat. As mentioned in a previous post, I spent about five hours lengthening the harness, testing, re-testing, and checking the connections, etc. I also had to move a keystone mount I had from the switch panel to the passenger side of the center console which required a lot of filing, dremeling, test fitting, etc.

    Overall, not something I want to do again. But, I know my future self will appreciate the protection afforded by the covers and the warmth provided by the heating elements. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a bottle of Advil to devour.

    Some tips:
    • Get a muscular friend who doesn't mind hard work
    • Set everything in the sun for a few hours in order to loosen up the material
    • Do the headrests first
    • Once the seat covers are on, unbolt the seats and tilt them back to get the covers secured (seat bolts are torqued to 27 ft-lb.)
    • Give the covers a few weeks to rest and then re-tighten the strings and cords

    I do have a bit of a confession, I actually installed them last weekend lol. This picture was from today though. It settled pretty nicely. I got the set for a pretty good deal and I was honestly about to pull the trigger on a set of Bilstein 5100s but the price on the Foxs were too good to pass up. I’m pretty new to the off-roading scene but I can definitely tell the difference between these and the stock Bilsteins. A bit firmer and rides pretty nice. Soaks up potholes like a dream, pretty excited to take them out off-roading soon.
