    Yeah of course! The Satoshi MX mesh most likely permits more airflow than a stock grille especially since the triangles are cut out. The lights have always been there and the bumper is built with plenty of radiator ventilation. I don't think any of it is restrictive enough to make a difference.

    getting the battery replaced at the moment. Truck absolutely refused to turn over first thing this morning. Jumped it with the wife's Rav, went to the gas station on the way to work. Dead again. Had to get the guy beside me to jump it. Called the dealership to have them pull the records since it still has a Toyota battery in it. It was just replaced in 2012 so getting it covered within the two year replacement. Dead again leaving work. Jumped three times in one day.

    Just finished installing a TRD Exhaust, like the sound not too loud but enough. Swapped out the exhaust gasket with a new one and it was leaking water like crazy so put the old one back on and its sealing properly.

    I took then apart and removed the amber lens and also removed the metal divider. I then ordered four 1156 LED bulbs from Amazon. But you can probably find some higher quality leds with more lumens on ddmtuning.com

    I had a cb in my old Chevy, I started with the ant on the passengers side mirror and couldn't pull a good swr reading ( tried three diff ant's) i finally got fed up and bought a mag mount for the roof checked it and got 1.5 swr i dont know how all this stuff works but I figured that my fm antenna was messing it up. Hence the drivers side mount this time.

    Hey sedmondson72 I was just checking out your redline struts, what is that under the hood by your brake fluid?

    SPOD, Its a Switch Relay circuit board. A little pricey, but hassle free install. Comes with everything, wiring harness, switches, the works. The switches I mounted in my center console.
