    Thanks! Bilstein 6112s and 5160s. The snap rings are set to 1.5'', but I'm guessing it has settled to 1'' of lift at this point. The tires are stock-size Goodyear Duratracs, which make a huge traction difference in the dirt compared to the stock Goodyear tires.

    I’m seeing a ton of Subaru speaker upgrades. I’ll have to look into those

    Got the Lorax Stance in urethane installed over the weekend! I must say it exceeded my expectations!

    E6935F4B-41A8-4BFB-B03E-A943C9848781.jpg

    The stance is capable of being folded up and held in the vertical position, off of your truck! The hardware that is used to secure the cover in the vertical position is magnetic (very strong) and also secured by double sticky tape. They also include a primer to swab on the truck before sticking. As you can see in the below photo, the finish looks OEM and doesn’t look bad at all. Plus I totally trust it to stay in place.

    Did you find that with the MESO Custom black vent rings that the rings on the drivers side do not side flush in the housing?

    The first mod I did was 5.29 Nitro gears, body mount relocation, and 35" tires.

    OK, just kidding. I got a truck cap, Odyssey PC 1700 deep cycle battery, and 33" tires that didn't need a suspension lift to fit just fine.

    I just saw this on another forum. The drain for your AC drips right on the frame behind the passenger wheel well. Pull the flap back and replace the two or three inch long line with a 5/8” hose that goes all the way down below the frame. No more rusting frame in that area. Cast is a couple of bucks for a hose clamp and line from any auto parts place. A few minutes work and your done.

    Like the color of the signal. Black, amber, or smoked?

    TRD: Lift, Exhaust, Air Intake, Skid Plate & "Beadlock" wheels. Batman sticker. 255/85R16 Toyo MTs. Debadged. H9s.
    Came all TRD’d up and debadged from the dealership so those upgrades aren’t “mods” as such. Things I have done since are the OCD centre console organizer, H9 headlights, “demon brackets” and shackles (yeah, not everyone’s favourite), moved the OEM bed mat and fake beadlocks over from my previous truck, and added a 2x6 in the front of the bed where it creates a place to stash a shovel, bowsaw, and come-along for cabin trips.

    If you're talking about the sequential turn signals i went with smoked. I got them off of Amazon for around $36. Also tinted my taillights which i think looks better than the clear and chrome that came stock 20230215_112152.jpg 20230215_112133.jpg

    Total Chaos bed stiffeners went on today. Moved the rear tie-downs to the front and cut the bed mat to allow easy access.

    I actually got them tinted at the place i went to when i got my truck ceramic coated. These tail lights have lots of lines and would have been really hard to do unless youre skilled are wrapping. My guy did a really good job!
