    I ordered mine back in mid October
    Support said the following, “Our 01-04 Pro Grilles should be in soon. They were supposed to come last week but there was an accident on the vessel carrying them, destroying all of the grilles. Crazy. That being said there are more on the way already and they're on the fastest shipping possible to us.”

    Okay strange question, what’s the best way to adjust the gas pedal. After adding the dynamat, dyna liner, MLV, floor pad and lastly the vinyl kit I have realized when I go to floor it, like gettin on the free way I ow have to mash it down into the floor. Would I do it at the throttle body?

    I've done a mod or two
    You're describing changing your lever ratio. You're not going to be able to do that without bending the pedal rod and changing the fulcrum point. My suggestion would be to cut out the material below the pedal

    This is the way the front lights SHOULD rationally work on our first gens. Is there a walkthrough of this exact setup? I'll take my hits if its here somewhere already, I have a lot of shit to do today and don't have the time to dial in the search function. I promise I'll bookmark it and never ask again ;)

    This is the route I went with. I was going to add LED turn signal bulbs so I needed a resistor anyways.

    Take it out, put in vice, hammer away. I did mine a long time ago.

    Only down side is you can't really do the same with the brake pedal

    Past week or so but went from this:

    A5DF0381-8964-4D17-827F-745C518134F0_1_201_a.jpg

    to this:

    5288452D-98F3-4719-A6A5-74273FDEE8B2.jpg

    Finally pulled the trigger and went back to mid travel... 5100's, Built Right UCA, still has deaver SUA, 12" shackles and Raptor shocks out back. It spends more time on-road than off these days. Kinda sad that it looks so simple but once it gets a fresh paint job itll be a normal Taco again!

    I’m wanting to do the same thing to my truck and I’m just a little confused on how to switch the blinkers to the side markers instead. Did you just order led switch backs for the fog lights/blinkers then?
