    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    Got 25 mpg once with the old Dunlops. Now getting about 21 consistently with new rubber.

    Many will do at least a slight angle... IMO it depends on your goal: for rock protection, angle up. to be a functional step, keep flatter.

    I installed mine at 17 degrees...makes em not so useful as a step. You can buy an angle finder at Harbor Freight for $5.

    NOTE: watch the pinch weld. keep at least 1/2" clear. this is most difficult on the rear legs. check out this thread:

    Automotive Touchup $19.95 for a 12 oz. can. It looks like a perfect match to me. I'm planning to do the chrome grille surround red as well.

    Installed my URD short shifter. Still haven't put the center console or anything back in but its dark so meh

    If anyone has a manual and hasn't done this yet Please do yourself a favor and save up a hundo to get one. I couldn't be more happy with it. And the install is easy enough for anyone with hands to do.
