    I'm looking at the KO2's, Goodyear duratrac, cooper AT3 and Falken wildpeak. I didn't know the KO2's came in c load. I'll have to look into that

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Very nice. What is the aluminum mounted to?

    My wife got me this modular panel. I didn't do a great job hanging it but it works. I need to paint the brackets black. Yours looks a lot better. So far I've only hung a first aid kit.

    Also, is that an aftermarket dome light?

    bump out the garage door.

    okay, extreme example, but two side walls, little bit of roof, move the door out & done. I don't think I'd do less than 2' though. 2' means rip a 4x8 in 1/2, efficient.

    Looking at. A property with 100x40 pole barn on it and 6” thick concrete. Be a perfect shop. Put a loft in it to live in when I want

    Also, did these reg/access cab trucks ever come with illuminated sun visors? The girl wants lighted ones for late night hair fixing

    I was going to make some boxes that I can hide in the bedsides and put 200 lbs of lead in. Would suffice and it would also be removable if I needed.

    According to toyota my 05 was never offered with it. But I can’t imagine that being true for all years.


    Crew cabs had it, but those don’t fit mine

    Nuff said right there. I think later first gens might have had a smaller light on both sides. Can’t remember what my brothers 02 has.

    Where do y'all recommend buying CV axles from?
    CVJ's look pretty nice and are cheaper than OEM from a dealership.
    Wondering if I should but the new boots and fix my old ones or just buy new or both. Of course my wallet isn't ready for any of this. I'm supposed to be going on a wheeling trip with my TW/TTC buddies at the end of February. So I'm hoping work gives me the raise they've been teasing soon. Otherwise I may have to miss it and wait til the Lonestar Toyota Jamboree. I'd like to go to both. Oh and I need to buy that ECGS bushing ass well. Damn. Lol

    Ordered my front bumper. I went without the bar hoop because I want to do a smaller hoop that matches the brute force low pro hoop.

    Are you sure your current CV's are original? For remans, you have to either eat the core charge or send back the cores. I would confirm that first and that will make the decision easier.

    It works well in tractors but I can't see it being good in a vehicle, even in tractors you'll get some bounce if you're moving a little quicker.

    Plus your tire guys is probably going to be pissed :mad:

    I went with C rated KO2’s on mine and love ‘em, don’t weigh as much as the E’s and ride great. I‘ve ran E’s in the past on other Toyota’s and the ride difference was noticeable to me, not so much that I’d avoid them if I found a set much cheaper than C’s, but if the price was close I’d pay more for the C’s. In my area E rated 285 KO2’s takeoff’s from Jeeps are everywhere, brand new sets for $800.

    Is there a good way to tell? I have aftermarket CVs on currently, but I kept the old ones they too off at the dealership. Was told that those weren’t OEM, but I can’t exactly trust their word.

    Must be where they hide their vaping supplies and extra 5,000w hid bulbs for their factory fog light housings and all the wire/ relays to make them come on with the headlights and probably all the polarized shades so they can stand to get every other driver on the road to constantly flash them.

    This video really helped. Thanks. I'm not seeing that wire on the back of the Alpine. Doesn't mean it's not there but it's not showing up on Crutchfield. More investigation needed.

    Hey Paul, I got the same camera as you. I believe I'm going to mount it in the same place unless you have any regrets.

    Regarding their installation instructions, did you cut the purple loop and leave the rest?

    I'm not sure. I'll likely be buying new ones and then deal with the old ones once they're out and the new is in. They way I'll have spares.
