    Not sure at this point.
    Just placed an order for Agency6 shackle receiver hitch, ARB RK12 weekender recovery kit, and xbull traction boards. Getting ready for some light off road this season if time permits!

    The wife gave the go ahead to get heated seats installed for our anniversary. I would prefer to have heated and cooled. The only option I've seen so far for this, is Katzkin. Install is over $3K though. Looking at Clazzios, but I won't be able to do the install since I'm still in Korea. I'm sure the labor cost in Cali is gonna take the price up there with Katzkin. For those that have Katkin with Degreez installed, what are your thoughts? Any benefit to one or the other?

    I started thinking katzkin and cheaped out with clazio pvc at $350 + $100 seat heater kit. Not exactly complete but sick price point and full coverage from the children and other passengers tendency to be slobs. I can replace in 10 years if I so desire with something nicer or even take 'em off and go back to cloth. It was just so cheap and easy...

    Yes. It's something a teenager with reasonably strong hands and work ethic can handle after watching the video.

    Wiring the seat heaters is maybe the only part where some thinking is appropriate. I'm still going on mine.

    And, FTR, I'm speaking of my tacoma but I don't expect the install is any different on a Tundy? I will definitely go clazzio again (I'm on here as I prepare to trick my buddy into selling me my 2002 Tundra back once he's tired of it and wants something a bit more luxurious.)

    Cool, good to know. I figured they should, and would have been surprised if they didn’t, but you never know :)

    With the GM ones I'd say if you do a bunch of city driving stay with the regular OEM mirrors. The GM ones are huge so you see everything behind you but have a blind spot coming up to intersections for pedestrians and cross traffic. I love my GM ones when I'm out on the highway, especially the freeways, but in town I'm always moving my head around to double check I didn't miss something.

    I just put these on my 2020 TRD Sport MGM. They are Awesome mirrors, no shaking at all, very stable mirrors. I did not hook up the flood/spot light to the reverse lights. I hooked up the flood/spot light to the cargo light. This way when I unlock the truck the flood/spot light turns on so I can see the door area. Very easy to install, worth every penny.

    It’ll never stop!...hahaha
    Good to hear!...yea I’m on the fence about where I’m gonna hook my spot lights into, I already have puddle lights and I also installed custom LED’s under truck that come on when I unlock truck or open a door so I may stick to the reverse setup, but we’ll see!

    I love mine - great mirrors. Running BSM is my next project.

    I haven’t had that experience with mine. Might be because I had the OEM ones from day one on my prior truck and just got used to it, but I don’t notice any more/bigger blind spots than before.

    Did you get puddle lights in the new mirrors? I didn’t see that as an option. I ran my “reverse” lights to a dedicated switch. I don’t see a huge amount of usefulness in them TBH, except maybe for some specific use cases. So I’m glad they don’t come on EVERY time I go into reverse.

    I jump back and forth between my Tundra with the GM mirrors and the wife's Ram with the small regular type mirrors, and it's night and day. I'm used to towing mirrors as I drive HD trucks more than my Tundra so it's normal for me but there is quite a blind spot compared to the standard mirrors. The Toyota towing mirrors are right in the middle - which is why I didn't like them - and they certainly created a blind spot too. It's not too much of a blind spot that it's unsafe, but it's certainly something to think about for those who drive in the city a bunch.

    Started my drawer system build today by going to Lowes and getting some 1/2" maple plywood. Got pretty far before darkness and some rain started setting in but pretty good for a few hours of work and no real plan on what to build. (ignore the overloaded cargo net ... put a bunch of crap up there that was in the bed while I was working).

    Plan is to have a hinged flap on the cab end to get underneath for storage and the rest will be a drawer once my slides get here from China sometime in early May. The passenger side will have a full length piano hinge that opens so I can access the areas next to the wheel well for more storage. Currently everything is screwed together with pocket screws and is really stable but I'm going to add some L brackets as well just in case. Outside of the box will also get some marine carpeting. Bottom panel will be mounted into the bed with a bunch of rivnuts and bolts so it can be removed relatively easy.

    What's the idea with the cover on the fridge? I got one from a TW'er (but haven't been able to use it yet b/c I'm waiting on my Leer shell and it's too big to fit with my tonneau and I don't want to just leave it in the open bed.

    Is it for insulation or to stop other stuff from scratching it or something else entirely?

    I see you are in Texas. You might want to get some catalytic converter plates on your truck asap.

    I just installed my Rigid 360 ditch lights. The beam is incredibly bright, and I’m really liking the orange back light. My only trouble is that I decided to use a fuse tap for the backlight. I can’t seem to find a fuse that only runs when the truck is on. Any one have suggestions?
