    What part of West Virginia are you in? I need to make it up there one of these days to wheel with you.

    Added some courtesy lights and under hood lights. Got the magnetic LEDs from Lux Lighting. Got enough to also add one to each wheel well when I get a chance.

    Have you guys had any issues with VSC when you went to larger tires? I'm looking at the cooper discoverer AT3 4S in LT265/70/R17 which I doubt will cause issues because it's only an inch bigger but I have heard horror stories with other Toyota vehicles.

    Good to know. I don't plan on messing with a lift yet as long as the air suspension holds out (fingers crossed).

    Rear Coastal Off Road bumper finally completed. I also splurged and got myself an aluminum Demello front bumper.

    Thanks! They come in 17s now which I would have gotten if they were available two years ago. Tires are Yokohama X-AT 275/70R18. I really like this tire size. It's around 33.5" and I clear everything with a cab mount chop and pushing the front fender liner forward. 34s or 35s may come in the distant future after a rear end upgrade to the 8.2 and regear + lockers.

    The 17” rpt1 look funny. They aren’t concave like the 16 and 18’s.
