    Had a sample piece of color match vinyl that wasn’t big enough to be very useful, but remembered the wife had a Cricut machine so did this:

    Every single truck should of looked like this stock. It's like Toyota intentionally made this this truck ugly so you'd have to mod it.

    Well done :hattip:

    Thanks and I agree. The TRD sport and platinum are the 2 best looking trims out of all, but the platinum still has the weird black tailgate piece and the dark chrome grill. Trd sports all color match option should be part of the trd off road package, but toyota knows way better than all of us

    pro grill and bumpers going on end of this week if the weather man has his predictions right!

    Ooh I've been waiting for some proper bump stops for the rear. Any idea how much longer than stock they are?

    Thanks! At first I was hesitant on the color, but it is the one color that there is absolutely no denying what the truck is.It is growing on me.

    It has been raining this morning but I’m aching to get outside and get the collar lift put on. It will be almost complete at that point as far as my plans go. Only thing left will be front bumper, winch, and tow hooks.

    Installed Westcott design preload collar today at work on my day off. Drove the truck stock for 8000 miles now. Only used the preload collar without the top spacer. Stock rear.
    Took about 3 hrs from start to finish. Install went pretty easy. Only issue was the spring compressing. These are stiff, I’ve done Rams and Chevy springs before but never had to use so much strength to compress the springs. I thought it was going to snap the spring compressor fingers.

    Front measured 20.25” from center hub to fender stock. After preload collar measurement I got 23” in front. Rear stayed same 23.5”. The ride felt definitely feels more firm. But not rough. Need to get an alignment. But every shop won’t be available till next week. Guess truck will be sitting until then and I’ll be driving the Evo X or R1 for a week.

    Now to just waiting for my Rays Gramlight to come from Japan and put some 35” tires on. :D

    Handy information, I was thinking of doing the same with my sport. Do you think if you added the rear lift from wescott it'd be too much rake or just right like OEM with only the preload collar up front?

    I think if doing the 1” rear spacer it’d be perfect amount of rake. Less rake than OEM, because the TRD sport is pretty low in the front. 3” difference from front to rear stock. Mine is pretty much leveled. Idk if it’s going to settle anymore, but will check again after my alignment.

    Miluakee makes the best impacts in the game. I have the M12 stubby and it blows my mind how versatile it is.

    just curious but why couldn’t a dude just get up there with a socket a cordless impact gun, drop the bolts and have the shield down in like 15 seconds? :confused:

    Thanks for this post. I was planning on direct swapping my Method 305s with 35” BFG K02s from my Taco. I’m assuming that frame extension only needs to get chopped if we go up to 37s?

    I think the frame extension is removable (via a couple of bolts).

    In one of Westcott’s videos where he handed over the pro to the gentleman he was buildit up for (and test fitting parts) he mentioned that he did chop it a bit…probably to retain some semblance of crash protection but everything I have read seems to indicate it’s easily removable.

    They can in most cases…these cat shields are meant to be a deterrent and the hope is most of them aren’t showing up with more than a cutting device and a spotter so when they see the shield “we hope” they just move on to the next truck.

    If they want it bad enough (or start to get smarter) then God help us all…but most of them will hopefully move on to an easier/faster target.

    this is the eBay tri-fold one for $330. I also added the e-trailer clamp fittings for $20 for a better fit, but the clamps that came with it would work.

    Looks great! How is the ride quality? I am still debating if I just do front level, or the 3/1 Westcott lift. Currently have the 35" Toyo's on there and haven't noticed much of a change in ride quality.

    Honestly, I’d say it rides smoother than before. I’m not sure if that’s the extra rubber or what. I did notice a little bit of extra hop on the back-end over some high speed bumps on the freeway when the bed was empty.

    That seems like conflicting statements, but it’s my subjective feedback after about 48 hours.
