    Honestly I couldn’t tell you how much lift I have over stock. The front icons could be adjusted up another couple of notches. I think it’s around 2” of lift overall. And no cutting anything for the 285’s. There’s zero rubbing, on road and off-road.

    Performed the Pro grill delete and installed a 2019 OEM grill......yep, I actually like the look of these. The pro grill is played out honestly so I wanted a change.

    Sits up higher than I want but not much I can do about that except replace the Yakima with something lower to the Shell. It’ll suffice for now :thumbsup:

    Haha yes sir thanks man, it was truly an awesome car but I really missed my Tacoma. It’s much more practical and meets my needs. I’d love to have one of the new Shelby GT350’s but that’s way down the road and I’ll be keeping the Tacoma as well. Best of both worlds lol

    Love the RTT up there but it’s a big MPG killer so I rigged up a quick swap setup.

    Realized I already had another set of Yakima bars in my basement. Decided to leave the RTT bolted to one set and mount my other items (bike rack, load stops) to my other setup. This way, all I have to do is unlock them and lift the whole setup rack and all. Then snap my secondary bars in place :cool:

    Last thing I need to do is a cable/pulley system in the garage to keep it stored.

    New Tires on the beast. Went back with the same BFG K02's in 285/70/17 due to the price. I wanted Cooper ST Maxx but a buddy of mine got these BFG's brand new for $540 OTD.
