    I bought a knock off vintage grill/garnish too (Not from Amazon) and later, bought smoked amber raptor lights from a member here who did not install.

    No issues with TSS with regards to DRCC & LDA...I'm on my second set of raptor lights since moisture caused one the lights to lose color.

    As for the gear shifter knob, I went OEM and got the leather one.

    *DRCC - Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
    *LDA - Lane Departure Alert

    Got some Michelins, less aggressive but quieter. The Nitto’s I had were bad in wet weather and a little loud.

    I was moving cross-country, needed a quick build desk. Later needed to finish the surface so decided to reinforce the quick-build.

    These are not quick-builds. I do not make a liviing at it, but can build to need ... rough or fine.

    A desk of solid maple, refinished recently to properly finish instead of just slapping on 3 coats of poly (Seal-a-Coat, Arm-R-Seal was the refinish)

    Here is a quick build tray to hold work-out weights

    Here is a rack to hold towels in the bathroom, wide enough to flat-hold 3 full-size towels

    Nightstand, with fold-out side. Could be redone better but not right now

    People who have the mic just above the driver's side visor will often install the Enfig mic in the overhead center console as the space is still there. You just need a little foam and tape to hold it in place.

    Good to hear. I purchased these knob for my 4Runner. Got em' from HouseOspeed/Hot Rod Shift Knobs. Looking for something similar, but if I go with this, the shift boot with the trim piece is gonna look out of place just sitting there under the knob.

    Accomplished Firn's accumulator delete mod with his brass disk and had the truck tuned with OTT.

    At first, I didn't think I needed the ADM or the tune as I was just happy with how the drove and performed from the factory. However, I can say that the ADM is definitely worth the $25 or $30 I sent Firn and the few hours it took me to accomplish the mod. On occasion, the truck would "buck" when shifting between first and second and that's no longer a problem. Additionally, because the fluid is no longer interrupted, the clutch acts like a clutch. I can see why Toyota would put an accumulator on the slave cylinder as it definitely makes the truck easier to drive for people who don't normally drive a manual. But, for those who have been rowing their own for years, you'll definitely appreciate the ADM regardless of how you accomplish it.

    I had the truck tuned in Denver this morning with OTT at medium and was able to experience it on the way back home. Upon leaving the parking lot, I fed the truck the normal amount of throttle and immediately shot out into the road which took both myself and the wife by surprise. I've noticed a slight bump in power and I'm able to stay one gear lower to maintain my normal cruising RPM. There was a definite drop in MPG as I was averaging about 20 on the way to Denver and 18 on the way back home--but I expect this. The primary purpose for the tune was to get the alternator output changed to keep the AGM battery at it's happy voltage of about 14.4. However, I think the tuner must not have heard me as the truck is still reporting an output voltage of 13.8V. So... I might need to make another trip to Denver in the near future to get that corrected.

    All-in-all, I'm pleasantly surprised with both of the mods. The ADM is a no-brainer at how little it costs and how easy it is to do. The tune, while expensive, breathes new life into an almost 2-year-old truck and makes it feel like a different vehicle. I can honestly recommend both after you've had some time to get used to the way the factory set the truck up initially.

    Mileage suffered a bit right after the OTT tune on ours - probably because I was experimenting with its new capabilities - but over time it "learned" the new dynamics and I hit 19 to 21 MPG on the highways and 15 to 18 in the city now. Runs how I expected it to from the factory. Still the best money I've spent on it. :thumbsup:

    Great tires. I put a set of those on my kids truck and all I hear is him complaining that they won’t break loose anymore.

    Replaced the stock Toyos with 265/70R-17 MICHELIN DEFENDER LTX M/S SL, going up from 65 to 70 for that whopping 1/2” lift. Vast improvement over the Toyos. Much smoother ride!
    Thought it would increase MPGs. Nope. Only drawback so far is they pick up rocks (gravel) and sling them into the undercarriage at speed.

    Costco had a good deal on them but they are very strict about only using factory size. And they called twice while installing to ask if I wanted white wall.

    How do you like them so far? How quick is it to remove crossbars if you need to open the tonneau?

    Took my 2023 in for the 15000 mile maintenance and asked them to turn off the seat belt chime. "Nope, can't do it, but if you go to parts and ask for a seat belt extender they will give you one for free." Picked it up today and now I can use my truck on my property without having to buckle the damn seat belt so I don't have to listen to that annoying sound!
