    The screws are about 90 degrees apart. I hope tire plus will fix it without having to replace the tire

    You can go to your local dealer and ask for seatbelt extenders. If I remember correctly, they have to give them to you free.

    I have the TRD exhaust and like it. Not too loud, its louder that stock obviously, but I only really notice it when I get on it, pulling out or something. You can search on YouTube and get a general idea of different exhausts and sound. Tons of videos.

    Stealth Tag?

    Can you give me an idea of what that system cost, and is it end-user installable (without welding), or does a shop have to do it?

    Any difference in mileage from stock?

    Memories suck, but I believe the dealership charged me $505 Installed, but its one piece and clamp on so should be no problem to do yourself.
    Noticed no change in milage, unless it dropped, because the sound makes you get on it more

    I installed RBP 3 step bars this weekend. I haven't seen many around so I thought that I would share.

    Yeah mine was around $500 that was about 3 years ago. And very easy to install. Did it in about 30 mins in my driveway, don't even have to jack the truck up. Couple bolts, and get the hangers off, getting the hangers off was hardest part really. If you do it, take the spare out. Gives you the room to get it over the axle.

    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    Put one of the old head lamps back in since one of the SilverStar Ultras blew already. Installed them around Christmas 2012. Tomorrow get a new pair of lamps. SilverStars ? Prob not but we'll have to see what's available locally.
