    Thanks! HU and the Hertz separates were the majority of the cost.

    Got the bed Line-X'd after getting the stereo replaced and forgot to post an update! Just heard from @Roman that my sport grille and bulge will hopefully be shipped by the end of the week. Can't wait to finally have her done.....for now......o_O

    Great looking truck. How do you like your precision LED's? What color did you go with? Any chance you could post some pics?

    Should be fairly easy! There is a for sale section on the forum here and your local Craigslist should work as well

    Did you get the sport grill painted? It's not available in cement, right?

    Was thinking about going with the MLK1650.3 but saw mixed reviews on different sites. How do they sound to you? Do they sound bright? Did you have to cut the high freq dB down? How much they they cost you if you don’t mind me asking. Thanks.

    They don’t sound bright at all. Very musical....I absolutely love them. I believe I paid 999 for them.

    Nice! Where are the MLK 1650.3 made? Not China I hope. What rear speakers did you go with? Did you also apply sound dampening on inside of door ? Thx

    They are made in Italy. The rear door is stock running off the factory amp. Sound deadener was applied to the front doors as well as the back of the cab behind the sub box. If you get a chance to see the hertz in person at a dealer do it...they are pretty beefy

    Wasn’t especially feeling the matte black dash kit in post #18 so we swapped it with the Metra silver trimmed kit.
    B2EF7697-3CDB-46FB-9ED0-F16B4819D099.jpg

    Also added sound deadener to the rear doors. My installer also retuned the system now that the Hertz Millie’s have broken in along with the subs. It sounds freakin amazing! Those Millie’s are worth every penny!

    Truck looks great! I just got a 3/1 level kit so seeing yours makes me really excited. I was also wanting some Nitto's as well but was looking at 285/70/18s. I like how your 275/70/18s look. Hows the lift/tires working for ya?

    So far so good. Have just over 3k on the lift/wheels/tires. They do great in the snow and ice around here. They are nice and quiet on paved roads/highway speed. Zero wobble and easy to balance. No obvious wear as of now with the limited number of miles. I will most definitely be buying these again when the time comes.

    Did you install the lift kit yourself? How are you liking that? Any issues?

    No, I had Lithia Toyota in Missoula do a majority of the work. Peace of mind knowing that a Toyota certified mechanic installed most of the aftermarket parts. No issues with the lift.

    Are you happy with your tire/ wheel setup- really like the fuel octane. Would you keep the same tire dimensions 275/70/18?
    Sweet mods on that cement!

    Yep, I'm happy with the current set up. Nice and quiet on paved surfaces...no vibrations at speed. I'll be purchasing the same tires again when its time for replacement, which hopefully will be a long time from now!
