    Lots.
    And... to finish my weekend modding I installed a Midland MicroMobile MXT275 GMRS radio into Rotundra. The install was easy as I mounted the head unit inside the center console where it fit nicely. I ran the hot wire directly to the battery to avoid electrical interference. I actually ran it to my new Blue Seas Fuse Block that I installed with my Switch Pros 9100 system recently. I used a 10 amp fuse in the block, it made for a very clean install. The radio comes with a cable and small magnetic base antenna but I purchased a Midland 6 meter NMO cable and a Midland 3db Gain Ghost Antenna (and a Midland 32" 6 db Gain Antenna with Spring Base to give me more options depending upon terrain and conditions). I ran a CAT 6 cable through my console and out under the dash to connect the microphone to. (I haven't installed the mic holder clip yet) this way the unit is completely hidden except for the mic which has all the necessary controls.

    I routed the antenna cable through the rubber firewall grommet into the engine bay and attached it to my Rago Fabrication Lo-Pro Ditch Light Bracket via a Rago Ham Antenna Ditch Bracket Extension.

    Yeah, they light it up pretty good. Gives me some options when setting things up in the woods.

    I got N-fab steps on Amazon for a really good price and thought they looked a lot better.

    Good call. Those chrome/black tube things are hideous. The fact the dealer charges you extra and markets them as an "Upgrade" always made me roll my eyes. Straight to the garbage.

    Just awful IMO.

    Bought a replica insert, spent an hour taking off the TRD Pro Insert to swap with my grill surround. I have to say, for how cheap it was, it's a pretty decent copy IMO! Now I just need to find someone who wants a brand new black grill surround and black grill...

    Love it. Really helps with load handling, sway, squat, and actually helped with smoothing out little bumps in the road too unloaded

    Over the weekend I tried to colour match my new Tow Mirror caps and have utterly failed.

    Purchased Boost Auto Tow Mirrors with blank mirror caps in order to colour match on my 2021 Midnight Black Tundra.
    Watching all the videos before embarking down this path made it look easy. :pray:
    All I could find was the Altitude Black paint, which I read was similar or 'close enough'.
    In hindsight, getting anything close to matching the pearl and metallic blue/purple flecks in Midnight Black is near impossible as a DIY.

    I've managed to strip them back down, but at this point I'm considering buying the black trim style caps.
    The other option is risking more $$ at a paint shop, but I'm not confident they will be a 'perfect' match but have yet to approach and professionals at this point.

    Thoughts and input everyone?

    Paint shop should be able to match easily if you give them the paint code.

    I never considered the AT/KO2 suitable for mud. In fact, none of the different all-terrains I’ve tried have done well in mud here in Texas. But BFGs mud terrains served me well in mud when I had them on a fullsize Bronco. The MTs obviously weren’t that great on the street compared to all-terrains or regular street tires, but that’s not what they’re mainly designed for, though.

    Anyway, I do agree that as the AT/KO’s tread gets some miles on them, they don’t do as well on wet pavement. Not sure why that is, but all in all I still find them to be tough and durable. I’ve never had a blowout on any of them.
