    Nothing yet - just got it two days ago!
    Roughly 1300 miles so far.
    • Dirt at 36 miles.
    • Mud at 400 miles.
    • Snow at about 600 miles.

    All GREAT so far.
    • Prinsu cab rack installed.
    • Working now on swapping out the Rigid lights for something brighter. More updates on that soon.

    No faults that I am aware of.

    I do get a clunk/knock in the back suspension when I "wiggle" the back end from side to side. Clunk could be coming from the leafs or maybe the shocks/mounts. Not sure if it is a problem, or just Pro reality. Anyone else?

    Wonder if the mods care if I use that as SIG material?

    Right pillar to dash is probably your issue, a ton of us have had this issue. I know a thread is around for it, may help you.

    So I went hunting to find a set of Toyota or TRD wheel lock lugs. The dealership tried to tell me that the part number, PTR27-34061 (TRD Wheel Lock Kit) was the right kit. After further inspection of the kit online, I realized these wheel locks are the conical/acorn style lug nuts. I didn't buy it. Went out to my truck and pulled off one of the lug nuts. Sure enough, the lugs and wheel holes are designed for the flange/flat/washer type lug nuts. The conical style lug nuts will actually damage the hole on your wheels. So, eventually figured out that the following part number is what you'll need. They don't have "TRD" etched into them but are Genuine Toyota: 00276-00900. Pictures below:

    00276-00900 (RIGHT! Not TRD etched though. :()

    Posted this pic in another thread but I'll post it here too. Confirming 285/70/17 fit on stock pro suspension w/o any modification. Experiencing slight rub at full lock in reverse but so far that's it. Haven't taken this setup off-road yet.

    This is great. Can you post up what the backspacing is of those rims? I want to install bigger tires on my Pro but want to keep the stock rims. I'm assuming you have less (more? can't remember which way it goes) backspacing with your rims allowing you to go with wider tires as opposed to stock. Could be wrong though. Would love to run something this big on my TRD Pro wheels.

    The wheel specs are 17x8.5", 0mm offset, 4.75" backspacing.

    That's only half an inch of backspacing. Don't think that sounds right.

    Looking good guys. Just traded in a 2013 Rubicon for a Pro. Much better ride quality compared to the live axles and 35's. Looking to get Relentless Fab sliders right off the bat. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions going forward too.
    Here's what I came from.
