    I think I just shove mine in there. But I realistically should probably take some sand paper to the edges and make it smoother. Definitely am concerned about breaking it sometimes.

    looks good! I used sound deadener on my entire cab to include headliner. I used a company called NOICO. Bought their butyl sound deadener and their red foam to put on top of the butyl. Quality stuff at a 1/4 of the price of Dynamat.

    Do you find yourself missing the reclining feature? I'd like to get a set, but feel like I should get a reclining set for adjustability and access to the back area. I'm 6'1"

    The lumbar switch surely won't require any more than a 12V source and a good ground. I bet you can search through nearby wires with a meter until you find something to satisfy those requirements.

    I've done a mod or two
    I have my moments where I think, "Hmm sure would be nice to reposition". But really, I have terrible posture so it's more just a manipulation of the lumbar support that gets me comfy again. I wouldn't buy any seat without lumbar control. I might consider the $100 more expensive Baja RS seats next time (they recline), but I'm in no way dissatisfied with the one I chose and it's way more comfy that I was ever able to get out of stock Toyota seats in any vehicle.

    I’ve missed 240k somewhere but I think that happened in October


    250k today, and I managed to fold my tin can skid plate in half again, atleast it’s an easy fix

    Gotcha. How long did it take for them to arrive?
    Agreed on the lumbar support.

    My order was apparently "on the shelf" but I suppose if you make something kinda odd in color choices and options it may take longer. It was less than a week to my door.

    Yeah, it has been a little challenging to get motivated of late.

    When you’re doing your five tire rotation, do you just rotate them in a circle around the pickup, or do you have some sort of complex pattern?
