I really like this product. It's easy, lasts longer than most and is an actual satin finish.

Got some new shoes. Falken Wildpeak AT3W 265/75/16. Went from the stock 70 aspect ratio to 75. No issues on road, gonna test off-road soon.

 

Installed the winch

 

Still figuring out everything it does lol

 

Tons of good YT DIY videos out there including this one. I've used Akebono Ultra-Premium Ceramic brake pads on all of our Toyotas and Lexus for years, decades I guess. Excellent quality, stopping power with little to no brake dust.

 

Ha!

The only reason I have a pair of C-Clamps is for brakes. Had them about 15 years and still haven't never used them for anything but brakes.

 

One of these is worth the investment.

Very cool !!

 

No you don't want to remove the cross members. It just utilizes some of the bolt spots on them. Fig 2-5 below.

 

Have my eye on these or the Duratracs for next set. How’s the road manners? Noise? Coming from the factory Goodyear.

 

I’ve been running 265/70 17 wildpeaks for about 6 months now. My truck is my DD. Zero complaints on the road noise. Coming from having BFG ATs before, these are much better in any weather so far too. BFGs liked to slip in the rain.

 

I originally was going for the KO2s but after hearing the poor wet handling conditions from multiple people… I’ve scratched them off my list.

 

Same here. I went with Wildpeak AT3 and love them. The have done all I’ve asked and handle great in the rain. I know multiple people who have the KO2s on Tacomas and say it’s the last time. Although I loved the KO2s when I had them on my diesel, maybe our rigs are just don’t weigh enough

 

I've been debating if I want to get a new head unit. Looks very cool!

 

No plastidip - I purchased these caps off ebay they snap right on and have adhesive tape inside, Same for the door handle covers. The first set I purchased off ebay were too big. This set snapped right in place.

 

Should have bought it when it was 50% off lol

 

Mine came with KO2's, only driven in the rain once with them and it was a downpour. These tires feel better in the rain than the Geolander's I had on my T4R.

 

It starts with blacking out 1 thing. Then something else stands out and so on and so on and so on.

 

Over Memorial day I did the Toytec lift kit. 2-3 inch lift. Nice red coil-over front and silver red rear shocks and add-a-leaf.

 

Got Spotter mirrors on sale.
