    Did the 30k maintenance today! I was stoked until I found the front diff drain plug washer in the oil when I was done. LOL Will redo the front when my torque wrench comes in.

    Installed a set of 2011 smoked OEM headlights to replace my 08 set that I have. I also ordered a color matched grill that should be in at the end of next week.

    Replaced 3 wheel studs and all lug nuts on the front right wheel.

    Got a little trigger happy with the impact wrench last time I was working on the truck...

    I like the setup too. Have the same Cobra in my 2010. I like where you put your external speaker... going to try that location now.

    Yep, Uniden makes a 2.5" speaker - sounds great! Doesn't obstruct visibility or use of the "oh $hit" handle at this spot. Too bad the speakers in these Cobra handhelds go bad often... not that they sounded great from the get-go. Good luck!

    I do like these- I believe they came out with the 09's on the TRD models- I like this idea better then doing the BHLM.

    LED conversion on every accessible bulb, TRD exhaust (dealership threw in for free along with the Blu-Logic).
    Have on order some high wattage LED high beam assist lamps that will go on my Westin bull bar. Bi-Xenon kit in route also, along with a projector fog lamp set with 3000 Kelvin HID. Going to be bright going down the trail. I may end up getting a "headache bar" and some front / side / rear off-road lights for it.

    Nice. What switch type did you use? I'm trying to get someone local to help me wire this up. Makes a huge difference on gravel. I haven't had an issue with snow yet.

    Used a toggle switch I picked up from Orielly's, the mod is really easy to do.

    I bought them off of craigslist a few days ago since the original owner bought a new 2011 and upgraded soon afterwards. I was more than happy to take them off of his plate. I was looking everywhere for the OEM smoked headlights and like their version over the BHLM.
