@OhNoItsMe For you and others running decals like that on your rocker panels, how do you get them all sized the same? Custom made?

 

That’s actually a great question. And talented lining them all up!

 

Thanks! I have a ‘US Cutter’ decal cutting machine, so I made them all myself. I just made them all 9” wide and then just whatever the height came out to be (to keep them proportional) then I measured the length of the doors and marked even spacing for 3 decals on each.. they’re not perfect but it came out pretty clean!

 

Dang yeah it’s super clean

 

another datapoint:

going through my backstock of wiring from past audio installs, trying to figure out what i have and what i need for my upcoming install, i found some older tsunami 1/0(from sonic electronics). i've already scrapped much of the other stuff i didn't trust, this stuff i might use as 0gauge instead of 1/0 gauge, though i overall don't like the idea of even using it just for the false advertising of the size emblazoned on it.




i hate feeling shoehorned into using only a singular wiring brand, and would love to hear some positive sizing reviews about some other brand alternatives, but after comparing this tsunami, scosche, and a few others, knuconceptz is all i feel i can currently trust for accurate wire sizing.

 

Got the upTOP bravo on the truck last night and threw in the oem bed lights this morning. I've still got to wire up the rigid light bar. I'm thinking of extending the harness and routing the wiring through an airaid snorkel.

 

That looks really good - I will need to do this in the spring

 

Started off the year strong. Going to put an aluminum oil filter cover on today because the OEM one didn’t play nice with my ugga dugga. Turned on the truck and it took about 5 seconds to empty out.

 

In addition, also clay the windows as it removes a lot of contaminants on the glass surface. I also do a clay - hand swirl remover - hand polish - wax treatment every few years. Makes the vehicles look brand new. I did the new Tacoma when I first got it (clay than wax) and it made a big difference in the smoothness of the paint and the shine.
Adam's products work really well.

That's a mess - Do you know what happened?

 

Went ahead and cleaned up the lines on my fender flares and added edge trim.

 

Organized the garage a bit. All fit perfectly with room to spare

 

Something like this works perfectly for hiding the wiring going up to the light in your rack: https://www.kchilites.com/universal-wire-hider-kc-6300.html

 

following for if the air raid snorkel fits with the uptop bravo rack.

 

Finally got around to installing my single ARB Compressor with GTFO Expedition single/double mount. The mount is awesome, direct install without modifications. Definitely attach compressor to mount before installing mount to the truck. Kept the ARB harness with fuse and relay and used the AuxBeam AR-800 as the "switch", (10a bank) . Forgot to get the "T" fitting for the hose and pressure switch, so just have the switched installed temporarily so I could complete the wiring. Plan on plumbing a hose to the back of the truck, either in the bed compartment or opposite the seven-pin trailer plug next to the license plate. My OCD Corrected the orientation of the ARB filter cover after I took the pictures...
