Yeah .. it's pristine under there...

 

Everything sounds extremely smooth and flowy if that’s a sound.

 

Hehehehehehehehehe

 

Haven’t been out again since putting them on so it’s hard to say, but I would assume not as much as a full flap. Definitely a “looks” purchase.

 

Another entry added to the list of 'possible next tire'. Definitely looking for something quieter than the DuraTrac. Even at the expense of off-road capabilities.

 

I’ve been absent for waaaay too long. But, thanks to @mquibble and @blitzkrieg3002 over in the Baxter thread, I finally installed the remote oil filter mount and Fumoto valve to streamline my oil changes and allow me to FINALLY mount up my BAMF trilogy real soon.

Recently, I also installed the Kuat IBEX at full height with the crossbar risers and front molle panel, full side molle panels, two handles, one beer opener, and two piston SR bike mounts.

 

I actually lucked out when I installed my RXTs. I’ve always had a vibration slowing down (the one there’s a TSB out for now). It went away with the lift lol I’m right at 1.5” of lift with all my weight in the back.

 

Hate to ask, but is there a reason for remotely mounting the oil filter upside down so you will have it draining the entire time it is being removed, as well as possible drain back issues causing cold start up noises with the VVT system??

 

The new bed rack has been holding up great through the Michigan winter!

Any Photoshop pros here? I’m wondering how 2 Baja Designs LP9’s on the bumper and 7 LP4’s in the Sherpa rack would look.



With this setup:



ps also photoshop another 0 into my bank account.

 

I think that is a legit question. I’m pretty sure there are engines that have top mounted filters but they are cartridge type and the cartridge is in a housing like the OEM setup. Therefore allowing the housing to be filled with oil before starting.

 

The filter will already be drained when you go to remove it, being upside down. Personally, I'm not convinced this is the way to go...adding a whole lot of extra oil passages that have to be filled before delivering oil to your bearings, etc. It was OK on the 2nd gen, because it was designed into the oiling system originally, and having a drained filter was clean to change. The 3rd gen filter can be changed without mess by draining, it's just an added step that some people don't like.

 

Completed 20k servicing, installed O/R fuel tank skid, and finally removed chin spoiler.

 

Trimmed mudflaps… no more rubbing.

Oscillating tool worked like a charm.

 

Got the rake back- OME EL112R and Bilstein 5160’s

 

Trying to decide if my next tire will be RWL showing. I like this look here.

 

I have a Toyota dealership warranty check on the rear cab mounted brake light next week. I detect no moisture in my 2019 TRD DCSB, but wanted to ask ya’ll that have had this done.
What can they screw up? What do I need to look for when I perform my walk down at pick up?
Thx

Don't need to be a photoshop expert to tell you it would look bad ass. great looking truck!
