    Absolutely 100% do it before you put them on your rig. The Dakars WILL squeak and it WILL drive you crazy eventually. The center bolt was plenty long to accommodate the isolators.

    How did you attach the snorkel bracket to the a-pillar? Rivets or double sided tape?

    Figured out the rest of the terminals I need for my NAV install. Started making harnesses for the doors (power windows).
    Mapped out my two relay boxes (what relay/fuse will power what accy). I need to drill holes so I can mount the boxes to my accessory bracket and I need to start wiring the boxes.
    I also need to find where I can run wires from the passenger side of the truck to the drivers side for stuff like cruise, mirrors, etc.

    YES! they left the cutaway in the door and eliminated the opening in the panel. Pick one! Now I've gotta cut away if I want to add.

    this is 100% true. And the headliner speakers? WTF, Toyota....

    nice job @deekyn on the deadening. I gotta get on that bandwagon.

    My dog goes everywhere, and his head is right at speaker height, so I elected to not install back there. The truck sounds 100% better with good speakers in the front doors, but no doubt those rear speakers would add a lot.

    Damn, those Chicago winters are rough on trucks.

    Nice work! Who in Chicagoland does your suspension work?

    I'll have to look at your mounts on Saturday. I got my hi lift adapter from Trey, it's really nice! I'm going to galvanize it here at work and paint it orange when I get home.

    Two things this weekend. First I added a Mobtown tailgate reinforcement. Second, I built a simple bed extender. Only needing it 2-3 times per year, I couldn't see spending the money for a manufactured one. This one
    only cost me about $20 for wood and connectors. The mesh pouch was just laying around from a past vehicle.

    Thanks for the reply, looks like I'll go this route too then! Did you need two 20' isolator packs, also the 2.25" version I take it? Not at home to measure.
