Tomorrow I will start sharing the details. I won't be able to share all at once because there's a lot of pics I want to share as well.

This might call for its own thread! Reserve a few blank posts below your first post so you can edit and add pics as you go.

I put Ridge Grapplers on--amazing what getting rid of the dealer-spec cheapies did! Stayed OEM size... looks really good, too!

They are E rated tires right? How's the ride and noise? A friend is also looking at the same tires for his Tacoma

KAON'd it

Higher quality and heavier duty than I thought it would be. Really pleased with the purchase.

The fender flares look great. Do you have a part number and MFG for them? Thanks.

The TPMS light was on over the weekend and I thought it was time to replace the batteries. So I used OBD Fusion and checked the pressure. Yup the spare was low. Crawl underneath and plug in the Viair P88. The nice thing was I didnt have to lower the spare to do it.

Aside from my ULM removal in other thread put on a new OEM top bracket on the battery, new OEM radiator cap (will keep old one as spare), and new Rad Rubber Splash guards,

I got them from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fender-Flar...53.m2749.l2649
You need to purchase 2 of them to cover both front and rear.

it is to eliminate space from using a different fog. the thin one was thin just for fitment check. the fog is a high powered projector with proper cutoff. its maybe 10x - 15x brighter than the HID low beams. that metal piece inside the fog is a solenoid. when it is moved it is very very bright.
