    I got it for a graduation gift from my Dad. However, I probably would have bought it myself if he hadn't gotten it for me.

    It has more space than the factory box & it's secure!

    Since getting my Viair 400p compressor I've been putting together my off roading and "emergency tire kit." Anything else y'all can think of I would need?
    IMG_5529.jpg IMG_5531.jpg IMG_5530.jpg
    I've got air chucks, gauges, valve cores, valve core remover, tpms repair kit, and Colby valves (thanks to the group buy @ramonortiz55 ) Arb deflator, plug kit and I made my own hose so I could better regulate air flow (didn't like the viair one)

    After searching again, I can only find the red, white and blue ones. The one in this link looks amber but is actually red. Oh well, I didn't really need one anyway. :rolleyes:

    Do you mean lighting up the whole grille or just the letters? I've considered getting a PRO grille, but only if I can find a way to illuminate the "TOYOTA".

    Did you follow any certain write up for the CV axle? Or did you make a write up by chance?

    IMG_1079.jpg I had read a write up a week or so ago. It's pretty easy. Remove tire, remove dust cover and then the 35mm or 1 3/8" king nut/cotter pin, and that will have the cv loose. Then remove the 2 lower ball joint bolts to allow more movement of the steering to pop out the out cv portion. Once you have it pulled out from there you can take a pry bar to pop the inner portion of the axle out.
    Some oil will spill out but not much. Just have the other cv ready to slide in quickly. It's best to have a mallot to help tap past the ring that goes into the differential side. Once that is in, just work it back through the rotor, put king nut/pin back on, lower ball joint bolts, and then tire.
    Hopefully that all makes sense. Sorry for the image being at the top. This "ring" is what the green arrow is pointing at. I felt like that part might be confusing how I explained it. Basically it's a washer that's on the spindle that you have to use some force to get past.
