Upgraded from hooke road to Snailarmor tailgate panel. If anybody wants the hooke road panel they can have it for free just pay shipping.
Unfortunately shipping is from approx. $70 for USPS to $130 fedex and ups.

 

These weren’t done today but a weekend or two ago. I kind of forgot that tacomaworld was here.

I wanna do the Yakima Rack with the DB SE.

PLEASE!

Provide moar pics at your most opportune time!

 

I'm not familiar with "DB SE" but I've got a few more toys coming in the mail. Will be doing some maintenance and making a few changes over the next couple months. I'll grab some more pictures if the weather ever decides to not be... well, winter I guess.

Edit: I'm dense, long day + recovering from some sinus crud... DiamondBack SE... Going back to sleep now

 

Installed MT64 OME shocks + heavy duty leafs & UCAs. Also got the OTT Mild/Medium tune. Looks & drives how it should now!

Looks nice next to my 03, rides incredible. Just need to throw some bigger tires on when these wear out.

 

ooo, I've been eyeballing that suspension. Got to scrape together a few more pennies before I can pull the trigger though. Did you have to press the bushing for the UCA?

 

Nope, just hit it with a hammer and it popped out! You'll love the way it rides. The biggest pain point was getting the UCA thru bolts out. You have to bend the inner fender liner metal to have clearance to get that long bolt out/in.

OH another note on the UCAs. Mudify customer service said not to grease the joint and it comes pre-filled. Mine did not come pre-greased, so I had to add some.

 

I meant the new UCA's I'm under the impression some of the replacements don't come assembled. And yeah, I'm very familiar with the bolt removal pain. Had to do it with a buddy

 

Mine came fully assembled from mudify

 

Yep, that's the one!

Glad you figured it out!

Those rack things on each side are cool.

If I ever get my plates to drive on the beach, I could put some equipment on the sides.

Those Extended Yakimas are expensive but look great!

 

The SR got some new shoes! 255/75r17’s on some Sport wheels I’ve had in the barn since last June! Happy Camper here

 

Best looking tire tread hands down. So how is the noise? Any tread hum that stands out?

 

I've had the new Duratrac RT 255/75r17 for about 7000 miles and they are really quiet for a RT tire. I would say about the same noise level as my Toyo Open Country 3, my roof rack makes more noise than the tires.
I think once I get to 40k miles with them will be the real test on how good they are.

 

I'm curious what made it worth the change to you?

 

I added OEM LED headlights and DD ss3 fogs(pro model) w/ amber backlight.

Will post pics soon. Headlights are incredible and fogs are outstanding. Couldn’t be more pleased with it.

 

You are certainly not alone, but personally, I don't get all the Hype and concern for blown tires. I have had several, even at high speed, and even had a wheel fall off while at speed, and all were plenty controllable to manage a safe stop on the side of the road. I do not baby my vehicles, or baby the driver (except when the driver is my wife). Anyhow, in my experience, a blown tire is more manageable than a surprise ice patch or snow drift, and those are much more prevalent than a blown tire. To each their own, but I have also run a bunch of plugged tires, and not yet had one of those let me down.

In NY a station can't plug, but can patch from the inside.
