    They seem good enough. I think a lot of people are looking for a sedan-type ride with these knobby off-road tires which you are not going to get. I definitely don't mind the tires, don't seem overly loud, look good, and handle way better in the rain than the Ridge Grapplers I had on a 4Runner. Don't get enough snow down here to test that. They handle good on gravel.

    REAR: Toytec 2.0 aluma series IFP socks, custom Alcan leaf springs with 3" Coachbuilder shackles

    Took off the front mud flaps, trimmed a good bit of the fender liner but probably could have re-drilled the holes and pushed forward and achieved the same clearance. SPC upper control arms also really help

    It is an unbelievably great awning. I grabbed it at half price and it has paid for itself in literally one outing. It’s wonderful. Don’t worry about the length unless you’re only mounting to a cab rack

    Yes they are. Bought them in November and finally got around to installing them today. Next up will be de-chroming at some point.

    Trucks looks good. How long from start to finish did it take you? I've had my headlights and harness sitting in boxes for 2 years now. Want to get it done after summer. SC summers are crazy hot.

    Not bad at all. I've read the instructions for the harness, seemed a lot longer then that. That is great news!

    :notsure:


    Guess it depends on options. All mine was plug and play. Pop the grille (done that a few times so that was easy), old lights come out and disconnected, cennect new harnesses to new lights, secure any loose harnesses since you have some extra length, put in new lights, put grille back. Check light level and adjust as needed but that is done once installed.

    Thank you. That makes it sound super easy. I can do plug and play. Which harness did you get? I think I have the one were the LEDs aren't on all the or something like that, so I think its a couple extra steps. But I am pretty confident that it won't be an all day job.

    Um.... thisbwas a few years ago. I had halogens with the drl strip and moved to the Pro's and liked having the drl's on. My new harnesses where direct plug and play. Super great quality and easy to install. @iHacker was great to work with.

    Thanks. Normally I would say a couple of hours give or take but I had some interruptions. I think I was around 3 1/2 total work including having to take the surround off a second time due to missing a connector pin; interruptions added time as usual. It’s pretty straight forward and I also referred to the video on @iHacker’s thread a couple of times. The one thing that took me the longest was fighting the grommet to get the one lead through the firewall; I got the harness that eliminated the amber DRL. But, even that wasn’t horrible.
