    Not sure at this point.
    Installed some L-tracks. Came out to be pretty good! Going to organize my Plano box into the Rigid boxes.

    The ones on their site include resistors. And you have to pay shipping.

    And you're sure they're unnecessary? (Resistors)

    I'm just going off of some people that I know that have them and the reviews that you can read. So far, so good for mine.

    Picked up a gently used TRD Dual exhaust on the 10th. Thanks @Okierunner for the good deal. It was good meeting you. :thumbsup:

    Sold all my original lights (heads, tails, fogs, & 3rd brake) and grill to JD on the 15th. Not sure if he's on here. Hope he fixes up his 1794. :(

    Ordered new exhaust gaskets x1 PTR03-34104 (TRD gasket kit) and x2 90917-A6002 along with the black 4x4 tailgate emblem from Lewis Toyota. They just shipped them today. Maybe they'll get here by the weekend.

    So in the meantime and while the weather is still nice, I just thought I would clean up the exhaust a bit and hit it with some high temp ceramic paint. Picked up a portable abrasive blaster kit from HF and Black Diamond fine (30/60 and 40/80 blend) coal slag from TSC. I probably should've picked up a larger compressor, but I was too cheap and decided to struggle with my 6 gallon pancake LOL. I've been reclaiming the slag along the way and still on my 1st bag.

    Welp, since I decided to do it the hard way, I couldn't get it done before the weather rolled in. :annoyed: I only got the tailpipes media blasted. Hopefully it won't be too wet outside after work tomorrow. o_O

    To be continued...

    Thanks! I still have to clean it up. Eventually a spare and a stroller will go back there… LOL.

    I may look into the Milwaukee pack out to cover the two empty spaces closes to the cab.

    Packout mounting plates would make a difference for securing it. Packout is worth it 100% IMO.

    I sell packout at my job. Even die hard dewalt guys who said they’ll never buy any Milwaukee product are buying the packout system because of how good it is. They are worth it 100%. Depending on what one you go with they sell foam blocks that you can put in and cutout for “tools” and other stuff.

    6112s arrived yesterday set at the 3rd setting. Will be installing them with shims along with icon add a leaf pack for the rear in the next week or so. Got a carrier bearing drop, diff drop, and brake/ABS line relocation kit to go along with it. After that I've got some 17 inch Icon Vector 5s that I will be wrapping in who knows what tire at this point. Kind of want to go 295/70 but am undecided.

    After going through my 2nd set of Rigid boxes in 6yrs I just dropped $700 on a full set of Milwaukee Packouts. They are that good.

    Another member mentioned the windshield as a potential issue to your noise problem, Is your plastic in good shape or is it like mine shown above?

    The kaizen foam is great. Did these two packout toolboxes a few years back and they've held up well:

    I don't think so. Mine is not. I bought a heat gun that is arriving tonight. I plan to take a plastic trim tool and get under it and pull it up and apply heat in hopes to pop it back up.

    New part is like 500 bucks so I'm trying this first. Seems to be a common issue.

    Google Tundra Windshield Cowl, you'll see images of other trucks like this. I've read a few old posts about this.

    Been meaning to swap the crappy amp lights out on mine as well. Did you just cut the plug off the vleds n tap into the amp harness?

    Plenty of light? You can tan under your truck now. :rofl:

    Though when you said AMP step, I initially thought the one on the bumper.

    Finally installed my front and rear TRD sway bar. I have the TRD Off-Road package. It didn’t even come with a rear sway bar, so huge difference in on-road handling. Bumps even feel better IMO. I know it will perform more harshly on loose roads or off-road , but I am okay with that.
    I also got Valhalla Shields - aluminum (thickest) with black powder coat front and back shields.
    I mentioned I did a full VLED swap and now I have the dreaded key control range issue. Any idea on how to fix besides going back to the old bulbs?

    The culprit to this issue is the 2 cargo bulbs. Did you get the Non-RF bulbs for the 2018 and newer?
