    Here's my tpms retrofit btw. Love it.
    Shows live pressure and temps of each tire. Can set it on one screen constant, or switch from psi to temp every few seconds. Also shows voltage. You can program it to set off an alarm when the psi gets below whatever psi you choose, down to 18psi(so it must be unplugged if you decide to air down below that for offroading is the only bad thing). And you can also reprogram each sensor when you rotate your tires, so each wheel will correspond to the position on the screen!

    Annnnnnnd s'more pics. In a pic whoring mood lately. Had some wicked weather today.

    watched a wicked sunrise this am while at work. Had a cool sinister/darker effect through the dark tint on the window. Then an almost equally awesome sunset after I got home. Found this new spot for good poser shots just a couple minutes away from home too! Can't believe I hadn't ventured over there before!

    Quick question about the Eibachs. How much did you sag once you put on the new bumper, and have you had any CV problems?

    I dont think it sagged at all actually, at least at first. Ha. But, they were still fairly new and hadnt had a chance to really settle in. But I think with the addition of the bumper, it has helped it to settle a bit more since. And I will have to take some measurements. If I can remember to, I'll take some tomorrow. Still havent since the initial install.. But it has settled a fair bit now I think, by just the looks of it anyways.. Just took forever.

    And she's a Prerunner... But I'd imagine there would be cv issues if otherwise. Not sure on that one. You'd probly have better luck finding a similar 4x4 build to inquire about that.

    Well, took some rough measurements. I lost about a half inch all around since initial install of everything. But, I did swap tires (I took ground to fender measurements) and theyre an inch smaller in diameter. So I dont think it sagged much at all. Lol. Meaurements Just dont seem right tho, because by looking at it, it looks like the front is noticeably lower than it was before. So I'd say about a half inch sag in front is probly right, but thats due to them settling. I dont think the bumper affected it, except maybe speeding up the cycling and settling of those eibachs. The dakars didnt seem to sag at all tho.

    Got bored and took smore pics...

    Also forgot to update my brakes status!

    Man she stops waaaaaay better now! So freaking glad I went the route I did with all this. Was a pain with the hiccups I ran into, but I gotta say, the tundra brakes are worth it!! Including the fact that I now have rear brakes! Everything brake wise (except brake booster which will soon be getting replaced as well) has been replaced with quality parts, fully adjusted properly (including the brake proportioning valve) and performing better than she ever has since I've owned her. This has been a long time coming and glad I've had the time and money to get these mods/repairs finally done!

    Tundra brake calipers and rotors up front.
    Wheelers SS braded brake lines.
    All new rear oem drums, centric shoes, misc hardware, bell cranks, cylinders.
    Axle seals and bearings.
    Master cylinder.
    Rear 1.25" wheel spacers added.
    Another optima replacement(warrantied)

    Also got a fifth scs brushed gold for a spare. Gotta get a tire for it yet. Then I'll also be purchasing an Avid Offroad bed bar/basket setup. Which will carry the spare. But it can also support an rtt too which I wanna get eventually!

    Got another light bar to test out. This ones called, wait for it, "8d laser light"... Lol. But I loved the aesthetics of it being blacked out, and the design of the optics. However it's just another crazy design they made up, which is basically a series of led fog light projectors integrated into a light bar. But its actually fairly impressive, for what it is, and the $60 I paid for it.

    Produces a pattern just like fog lights and projectors would. Super narrow, but extremely wide. I'll have to test it out more down range for distance. The further out it is the bigger the beam is. Not sure on the output ratings, if it's rated any higher than regular led fog lights would be. But I'm diggin it. I'll Probly mount it up and see how it does. Just wanted to test it because it seemed like it might have potential. A lot of these crazy overseas designs are just plain dumb and simply not very effective in terms of output and making good use out of the optics. This one seems like itd be a really good high beam supplement for on road use(of course for those empty back roads/highways, what have you, because yes I know they're meant for offroad use only, but I use mine carefully when there's no cars in sight). Or a good high speed trail light. Idk. Oh and it seems theirs only a couple different sizes available. This ones a 28"(the largest).
