    Lol, I guess the duder didn't realize what he had. The deal was initially $250 for the wheels, then I asked if he still had the original shocks. I threw him an offer of $500 for everything. Honestly I probably could have paid less, but I felt like I stole it for $500. My homeboy said I have a warrant out for grand larceny lol

    Thanks for the update. I was thinking about doing these covers as well. Did you install the Tesla style head unit your self, or did you have it professionally done. If you did it, was it a tough install?

    I did it myself, been an audiophile since my teens, so it was easy for me. For anyone who doesn't mess with tearing apart dashes and electronics, it might be a little daunting, but it's pretty much plug and play.

    and how do you like it? on a scale of 1-10? I heard the sound quality leaves something to be desired?

    Basically it provides a much larger air down passage so that you can technically air down from 40-18psi in about 10 sec.
    To me this is a great tool even when airing down doesn't take too much effort, just to save the few extra minutes bending over, not getting my hands dirty in the beginning of the trail day is a big plus to me.

    Only extra thing I have to do is to saw off the tip of tpms sensor and fit it onto the adaptor kit purchased additionally.

    The exact opposite. The Phoenix head unit allows you to control the factory amp's gain, completely opening up the JBL factory system to higher volumes. You could definitely get better sound quality with aftermarket speakers, but the JBL speakers are fine for me...for now. :D

    Low Fuel light turned on this morning and I traveled about one mile to fill up - 30 gallons. (Obviously means I had 8 gallons left assuming utilization of entire 38 gallon tank.)

    I have a pair of auxbeams (same as nilights) under my silverado as aux backup lights that I sealed before install close to 10 years ago, and they are still clear and bright.

    There some threads/posts on this. You can get maybe another gallon or 2 from what you had. But with how large the fuel tank is, it would be difficult to actually use upwards of 33 gallons without potentially doing damage. If it was life or death if you didn't keep driving, probably worth changing it then. But I plan to only be putting 31-32 gallons max in my tank if I can help it.

    It is a vast improvement over the 26 gallon tank in my 2008 Tundra!!

    Agreed, but I now think of it more as a 33 gallon tank for normal use and I feel much better lol

    Looks great!

    What did you use to relocate the TSS? I have this grill hanging in the garage, but have really contemplated installing it.

    I relocated it to the bottom of the assembly and used an epoxy puddyto hold it in place. Not sure how well it’s going to work but plan on driving it around today to find out!

    So as it sits in the vehicle it's 30in from front to back and 35 1/2 in side to side. The front legs extend 6 1/2in down from the platform itself. 20220813_093520.jpg
    The actual legs are 5 1/2 inches long since I used some 1x3 plus a 1/4 spacer for the front support and the front to back support. I also used more of the 1x3 to tie the legs together. The leg that sits closest to the center console is the same length as the rest as the 30 in width dosent actually overlap the floor 'bulge' (I expected it would) The 1x3 support that runs from front to back (measured from the door side toward the middle) sits 17 1/2 inches from the door side of the platform. 20220813_094316.jpg
    This support also sits between the bins of the esp storage compartment and prevents the platform from sliding side to side and jacking up my door panel or my seat.
    The carpet came from homedepot. I think it was a 36x48 mat that I found in with the welcome mats for about 13 bucks. Had enough left over to wrap the only visible leg and cut rectangles for the 2x4 legs mounted rubber side out so the legs wouldn't scratch my weathertechs and also grip the surface better.
    Hope that all makes sense!

    Alex, I did that too, inspired by @2020Platinum and it’s been great. Had it on for going on two years now. No errors, unlike the AJT relocation bracket I initially used.
