    I thought the hung over the shackle mounts. I'm still wanting to get a set of these but my truck is lifted and i don't know if there will be any settling with these.

    Have you thought about a Rago or ICS dash mount? Here's my set-up with the Rago dash mount and Ram Mount holders:

    You need an iPad Mini. The fullsize iPad is too big.

    I had the system with drop down rails. The rails were useless like that. I removed the brackets and raised the rails back up connecting them to the body. I only use the 2 clamps on the front and rear next to the rails ends and it works fine. Been running it that way for 30000 miles.

    Dirty deeds 12” system and resonator. A lot of people go 10” and love it but I really didn’t want it to be that loud, plus I tow 8k lbs for hours on end every couple of months and I didn’t want to drive myself crazy. So far I am INCREDIBLY happy with my choice. A very noticeable rumble but not too crazy. This will certainly never get mistaken for a stock exhaust. I was concerned the gain wouldn’t be worth the cost but that’s not the case at all.

    They are worth it, I've had them for almost a year, the rear definitely sags less when loaded, it acts almost like helper springs, the only downside compare to bags is you can't level it, but then no airlines/bags to worry about.

    Resonator looks interesting. Does it attach anywhere other than where it joins the main exhaust? Also, is it possible to position it a bit further from the spare, in the event someone has an oversized spare?

    It’s just hanging off of the exhaust like you see in the pic. I could have scooted it up a bit more to gain spare tire clearance but would potentially run into axle clearance issues at full bump. I have zero intentions of going up in tire size so I opted for closer to the spare.

    Maybe down low on the door, like where the word tundra usually goes? Kinda reminds me of the ford ecoboost emblem

    I have a 33” tire under and it can be placed with plenty of room. You’ll hit the shackles before the resonator.

    feels good, rpm’s are fine, but I’m also on 5.29 gears and long tube headers with a full exhaust for a little more pep

    Matt, where about in VA is that? We’ve done A little bit of stuff out here but always looking for more places.

    never mind. I should’ve read the rest of the posts before asking.

    Put some scrap LaminX on the fogs just to see what it looks like in the dark. I don't know if I will leave it on since I run all 4 of the fogs at the same time and don't know if they will build up heat. I may put it on the ones that are going behind the new grill though.

    All good man, Yea if you look up union spring
    HAHA, All good man. If you look up union springs rd that is where the accent starts to get up to the top of flagpole. This is the more difficult line up to the top and is tight in a tundra. "Avoid if you dont want pinstripes" some armor can be your friend also. Just have a spotter and take good lines. That whole area is an awesome place to wheel and camp.

    I just bought a 2014 in December and it only had 64k! Only 65k now. I wanted to get a newer model but this one was on better shape and had lower miles than the 2017 model I was considering.

    Installed a Bestop Bed Step. Makes it easier getting up to the ski/roof box. Makes me look old, but it’s functional!

    Too many, but not enough....
    Pretty sure keith will hook you up with whatever you want but he will make sure you know that you will lose alot of low end grunt with a dual setup.

    It’s a PITA if you remove the bumper bracket like the instructions say. I started that way, and eventually abandoned ship. The best way is to cut the bumper bracket rather than remove it all together like the instructions say. Way easier this way too. Several how to threads around here on what/where to cut.

    best mod for the $ yet. got the LEDs from sparks and the harness from ihacker. i live down a dark windy road and these things make a HUGE difference. they also put LED bulbs in my fog lights and these may be too bright. besides blinding people is there a down side to this? i have been planning on getting new fog lights anyway but are they ok for now?

    Just run the fogs until you get flashed a few times. Then you can treat your fogs like brights.
