    How do you like this head unit and which is it? I’ve been thinking about an iPad install but would like to avoid the cutting and bondoing

    This is after the 3in lift and new wheel/tire set up

    TRD pro wheels: 17x7 matte grey (I’m sure most member know this)

    Tires: 275/70/17 Cooper STMAXX

    I was surprised how the wheel/tire set up came out, they stick out from the fender about an inch. Perfect stance for me.

    Waiting for my JBA UCAs to be delivered to correct my 3in alignment (next week) and new headlamps (black housing, amber corners).

    Has anyone made their own bed stiffeners? I feel like it would be very straight forward to make.

    well I installed them after my bed was already bowed. Unfortunately it only lasted a year or so until the bed got to the fubar'd position.

    before and after's when first installed
    before passenger
    after passenger
    before driver
    after driver

    compared to the passenger side when it got really bad with the stiffeners.

    so they do help, but who knows.

    Using angle iron?

    I was thinking of doing that and drilling some holes through it for anchor points.
