Installed my new Bilstein 5100 struts and rear shocks on today. The ride feels good. Its stiffer, but handles the rough bumps well from daily driving around Memphis area roads. I hope they handle well off road as they do on rough roads around here.

 

I installed my Wet Okole seat covers..

 

Got my alignment this morning. Installed my URD TCAI when I got home.

 

Really diggin the red valve covers.

 

That is one pretty engine bay!

I redid my truck bed cover with a truck covers usa rollup, and put some rail bars on. Only bars I could find that I liked the shape of were CHROME. Put em on to see how they look, trying to decide what to do with em next. Paint them grey, or black, or plastidip... Leaning towards painting them black - but the toyota auto color black. Anyhow here she is-

 

dang you keep your wheels clean cause they're as shiny as those chrome bars!

 

Thanks fam. They really set of the engine compartment. Glad I got that stock intake outta the way so you can see the valve covers. LOL

 

Heh, thanks man. Actually you can't see due to that being a mediocre cellphone pic, but the pollen is so bad right now wash your car and leave it outside for an hour - it will have a yellow tint when you look again. No joke. That roll up cover looked so pretty when I first got it, powder coated aluminum, now it has the dust on it - ugh. Reminds me I should finish cleaning my garage so I can get her back inside.

 

How do you like the URD Intake? Notice any improvement? BA truck by the way..

 

Thanks bro. I really like it. Once installed, it really cleans up the engine bay. I only took like a 4 mi drive to make sure there were no CEL's following the install. I did get on it once and the sound from the intake is immediately noticeable....that sucker is loud. Doubt there'll be much in the way of a performance gain, but a little more throttle response is fine with me. I got it to maximize performance, reduce clutter and weight. Mission accomplished.

 

Thank you both for the advice, i kinda figured as much. Guess i'll just have to keep the whip off until needed...

 

Picked it up from the stealership after getting an oil change, tires rotated and a new AC / Heater fan. No more "chirping" sound from the vents!!!

 

Ditto. Exactly what I was going to say. Loud (in a good way), more room in the engine bay for possible other mods, and weight loss.

 

Just went to my local home depot picked up some wire cable and a lock so I can add a little security to my bed when I go tailgating. Pretty cheap too about $40 bucks total. Just wrap it through everything and lock it back up to the d-ring lot easier than replacing the handle on the truck bed plus I keep my back up camera.

 

Powdercoat them same color as truck. Where did you ge the bars from? And how did you attach them? Just bolts? Thanks.

 

I've got that urd supergrip pulley and install tool still if ur interested. Gonna go mid travel or urd mk3 instead of trd sc now.

 

put in a little more work on my amp rack.

 

IT BREATHESSSSSSS

 

As promised....




Also installed a Rosen head unit and Sirius SCC1.
Install was pretty painless, unit is okay, going to be a bit of a learning curve as any new HU is.

Trying to activate the Sirius and I can't get it to channel 184... all I'm getting is 255. Drove it around for a half hour, not sure what's up.
