Great looking cap.

 

Finally got around to installing the tailgate damper. See the write up here.

Sweet!

 

Great write up!

 

Thanks!

 

I had no issues as well. I did smear a little slicon grease on the end of the tubes and with a little patience was able to avoid enlarging holes. OEM topper rocks.

 

To each his own Brother. Great looking truck BTW.

 

Great looking setup!

 

Tailgate mat. (TripleAliners, Amazon, $40)

 

I installed mine over the weekend and it wouldn’t close because the padding above the hinge area. So I had to cut that area.

 

Interesting. I figured they'd all be the same, but do remember reading about someone having a tough time installing something else due to the tailgates w/ power open/close being slightly different (IIRC it was the McGard lock which also was no prob for mine which is the manual open/close).

 

Yeah mine is an auto close and open tailgate.

 

There are a couple features of the higher trim levels that I'd have been happy to pay extra for if Toyota would have let me, but that's actually one I'm glad not to have. That power open/close would drive me crazy

nice truck .I installed these with the red on my pro. the factory flaps were worthless.

 

Yes! Finally someone agrees with me!
I don't care what you say...the factory flaps are garbage..some say the Canadian ones are a bit bigger, they are still garbage. Who designs a flap with a gap between the bottom of the fender flares and the top of the mudflap?
I looked at the Ark, but went with RokBlokz.
They have a little more coverage outside the fender and they had a Black Friday sale on back in November.
Regardless which way one goes, they are far superior to stock.

 

Redline tuning quick lift. This should be illegal how easy this was. I decided to go with the Elite- Easily removing three of the four bolts using a 3/8 ratchet 12 mm however, the last one I loosened it with the socket, but there wasn’t enough space so I switched over to a ratcheting wrench to finish- that would be the one on the brake bracket.
I already had a set of the standards on my 21 off-road so I knew their value in advance, I was pleasantly surprised during the closure of the hood feeling the lifts release the majority of pressure inches before closure. I don’t remember that happening on my 21. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED UPGRADE

 

I just got the same for my 2024 Pro. It is on the agenda to get those installed at the same time with my Cali Raised Ditch Light Bracket which share the same bolts.

 

I installed an AFE exhaust, dropped a few pounds and it's not overly loud.

 

So I am waiting on my black chrome exhaust tip to come in. Setting in my shop looking at the rear of my truck and I see a can of high temp black paint. Then I see that bear metal exhaust sticking out the rear of my truck and boom. Next I was under my truck painting the exhaust tip black
