    IMG_3593.jpg IMG_3592.jpg Changed these puppies out today and man driver side is a major pain in the ass. Remove the clips is my advice. They are hard to move but make it much easier to get to. Anyway here is my old plugs vs the new. 149k miles IMG_3591.jpg

    Figured I’d post it here since the rear metal bumper thread is deadsies…

    Sooo I was not looking for a rear bumper at all. One of those couldn’t pass up this deal type of situation.

    IMG_9495.jpg
    IMG_9498.jpg
    IMG_9496.jpg
    IMG_9505.jpg

    Maybe someone can help me out. Looking to replace the rear lights it came with. Something plug and play, that will be wired to an OEM or equivalent switch. Just cause they’ll only be used when needed at campsites or rural areas where more light is needed.

    light dimensions seem to be 3x3.25 or so.

    Also I have to source some sensor caps as my truck was not equipped w that…

    Replaced my key fob with the Meso Customs V2 Fob, to be able to keep my physical key in the assembly. It feels sturdier than the OEM and it's a bit smaller as well.

    2CDF7FE0-088D-4846-A064-D9DAE68B0BD3.jpg I’ve been reading this thread exclusively for almost 2 weeks like my bedtime homework! I finally own my 2016 TRD Sport (Made the final payment in November). I have a stack of changes I’m about to make with the $ I’ve been saving since my final payment.

    -New 265/75 R16 BFG KO2s are on their way from Custom Offsets mounted on all black 16x8 Pacers (If anyone is looking for my OEM rims let me know. 17x7.5 +4mm offset)
    -Ordered the ARE-Z series topper (4 weeks until install)
    -Bought the raptor grille with 3 ambers to get rid of the OEM chrome plastic cheese grater (again, let me know if anyone is interested).
    -Total chrome badging delete. The whole truck should be Barcelona Red and black when I’m done.
    -Started building my overland decking and storage design

    I’ll post before/after photo’s when I make my first change and keep it updated. Things should move quickly. The first 56k miles have been bone stock. Now that I finally have the title I feel like a free man! So much inspiration on here.

    Thanks for the photos. The middle plug (in your hand) looks ‘normalish’ for a plug that old. The one in the ‘old vs new’ photos has an odd looking build-up. Any idea what that is? (i.e. additives in fuel, burning oil, stuff you added to the gas, rust or contaminants, etc.) Do you think the plugs are running too cold?

    Guess I better change the plugs on my Outback. 10 years, 156K. (Darn thing keeps starting every morning…)

    Looks great! I think they fit the green better than the gray. I did like them on mine at certain times though. Sweet to see them on someone else’s truck!

    My truck gained 100 lbs today.

    Front skid was easy, when I used my hardened kneepads. I finally had to put my circular saw case and a couple of 2x4 blocks to hold the %$&*#$% transmission skid high enough to maneuver it.

    And bruised my arm in the maneuvering. But ... I do not think I said anything worse than "damn" the entire ordeal.
