    I'll be following this just out of curiosity. It's a bummer I wish I would have seen that sooner to get a set. That side chrome is really the only part I dislike about the stock tails, I don't mind the bright red (I'm so close to doing the hot tails A).

    Was gifted a set of bed rails off a used tundra at work. Had to run a thread cleaner through the bolt holes to clean out the spray in bed liner, only took about 30 min from start to finish. I always regretted not getting these when I bought the truck, happy to have them now!

    Dump Post! I haven't posted in a while but I've been busy!

    I threw on a Backrack the other day. I've only ever had backrack brand back racks and I love them. However, they don'tf offer one for 2020 or newer on their website. They do have one for a 2019. I figured theyres no way they can be that different or that the beds changed. I called their customer service department and they said that they are in the process of designing one for 2020 and newer but have not released it yet. Me being me I ordered a 2019 and figured how different can it be. Also, i ordered the tonneau cover adapter for my bakflip.

    Well the only difference was that the "J" bolts were about an inch short. So i drilled a hole an inch higher in my stake pocket and it installed perfectly. I ended up not using the tonneau adapter plate and slid the distribution plate under the tonneau gasket. everything opens and operates very well.

    • I then installed the 5100's I've been waiting on. Middle setting, stock springs, no spacers, perfectly level, no rubbing at all on oem wheels.


    • Nitto Ridge Grapplers E1 275/70/R18.

    • Method MR305 NV Bronze are on order (month out on custom offsets):mad:

    • RSI Smartcap Evo Sport will be the next purchase, at which point I will be selling my tonneau cover and back rack. I would be open to trade for color match TRD sport grill/bumper covers as well.

    Just a quick update here are some pictures.

    Dirty but this is post 5100 level on middle clip.

    Ran the valves on either side of the tag. I wanted to place them in the gas cap but i didn't like how the air lines would have to bend.

    Installed a FRAC, front rear anytime camera, and it works beautifully. Install wasn't too bad, had some good instruction, a youtube video and excellent customer service got this thing rigged up. Great company to work with, with the premium camera this $200 mod seems just right to me.

    Put some custom Alcan springs on and new Aluma shocks all around…. The Boys in the back think I got a rake problem…:eek2:.(they’re afraid to jump down now).. I may have to raise the front up a bit…:rofl: I’ll see if it settles first after I hook up the trailer…. Empty Ride is stiffer… but not bad.. I like it.. way more firm and solid feel.. especially on acceleration the back feels more responsive.

    Aluma 2.5 with SPC UCA’s… The front coils are only set at 2.5”s… so there’s room to go up a couple of turns… but, once I get all my crap loaded back in and take the travel trailer for a trip or two.. I think it will settle a bit… so I may not have to adjust too much… Don’t get me wrong.. I like rake on the truck but right now with it empty.. its butt high.. :rofl:

    Took from inspiration from the chalk bag mod and added a molle dump pouch, in addition to the dual drink holders by the passenger floorboard

    The dump pouch had two straps that I just tucked between the trim panels. The dual drink holders are attached to the carpeting via a BuiltRight tech panel

    Installed sway bar! It’s so amazing just like everyone says. I took a round a bout at a much faster speed, almost felt like I was back in my BRZ.

    How do you help to avoid getting water spots from the Arizona sun/heat? You wash your truck at 7pm when it’s only in the 85-90 degree range.

    Chrome delete is complete! Not the route I wanted to take, but, with two kids off to Uni this year, the bumper caps will have to wait. Anyway, I’m very happy with the results.

    The Dirty T

    Yep. The front of my house faces east, so in the summer I wait until the afternoon/evening when there is shade in the driveway. Then quickly pull it into the garage to dry. Even then with our hard water I get some spots. I usually have my wife help dry it so we can do it as quickly as possible to minimize the spots.

    It is a challenge. I wash and dry one section at a time. I start with the roof, then all windows, then hood, then each body panel and doors, then the front end, then rear, then wheels and tires. After all that I go over the whole truck with McGuire's Quick Detailer. No spots. Worn out old man. Good scotch. Good sleep.

    I use this water blade to dry my truck. Works very well. Saves time and no water spots. I also wax the truck a few times a year which makes the water bead and is easier to dry. 48E451EA-19F9-4A09-8A5B-24D488DC06A4.jpg

    Thank you. Used plasti-dip with one coat of their protective semi gloss. Happy with how it looks, we’ll see how it holds up.
