Went and replaced my old Dunlops with Nitto Terra Grapplers!

Changes the whole look of the truck!

Rides really nice too. PS: Got an alignment done same day. So far I already have improved upto 2mpg.

it looks like you are preparing for trip to Alaska :-)
In terms of noise - is there a difference ?

Not at all. Nope no noise. These area actually supposed to help with MPG as well. The Dune grapplers I can imagine make noise.

everything works, might be a local problem to a user (firewall, AV... etc... )

Ok a small one. Had to do it though

Lexus hitch cover for the aftermarket hitch

Also a step for the hitch. Wow really helpful having a lower step. I get up real quick to the roof. I don't drive with it in. Only when I know for sure I am gonna use it.

Ok today was a big day.... Gonna post two different times cause the site limits me to five or so pics to upload.

Denso Ballasts for the headlights and fogs! Also I installed the bull bar.

Guess I need to start attaching photos. FB links are getting troublesome.... But means more work for me grrrr. and more complicated explanations.

Ballasts are top notch. Real toyota 35W Ballasts. Not cheap made in china fake HID ballasts that never seem to work right enough times and take a looong time to burn at the right temp. These not only are great ballasts, but the harness is also made it Japan I think. Two LED's showing there is power. The lights get to there full brightness within seconds. Old ones like 10-15s. Also you can hear the fans inside keeping everything cool haha. Very cool!. Your not gonna get this with any other ballasts I know of. five year warranty. Of course they were $250 a set....

Bull bar was straight forward. Looks bossy Definitely lost a bit of the slick Lexus look. But it's fine with me.

Now for the bull bar!

Simple install. Nice looking. Functional. Next week I install the Intake and maybe an exhaust. We shall see.

Those tires look really good and I've also heard good reviews from owners. I might consider getting those over Michelin LTX if they are just as comfortable and quiet.

How much did they cost and where did you buy them from?

Shipped really quick. Only problem is they only sell in sets of four. You will have to buy the spare some where else.

I really don't know yet. Magnaflow or Megan, DC Sports? The rear muffler is like a tube I think. Not your usual oval?
