    TracRac bed rack, Retrax bedcover, Anytime forward facing camera, Rago dash mounting plate, changed all lights to LED with 1200lumen reverse light, added LED above tag reverse light, rear bumper step, Go Rhino step sides, CCM Cat Security Shield, tool mounts on bed rails, added tie down pad eye on bed rails.
    Not all done in one day but I did a lot of easy mods this month and a few others that I never posted. Matter of fact I have never posted anything, other than a few questions and comments, but I have gotten a lot of good ideas from all the mods everyone else has posted. Love this forum. Anyway here are a few things that I have done to my 21 TRD PRO.
    5A0B239D-D0A1-4F84-93CF-B84A0DA0A036.jpg
    EyeCatcher Tailgate Insert , Amazon. Tag light back up light from Headlight Revolution. Bed step from Sparks.

    D2F227BB-C6E0-4741-BC13-C0987C54C76E.jpg
    Door sill protector decals, and radio decals from www.tvdvinyldeacals.com

    93887133-0081-4C5D-9DE6-C59C6FD2C0F7.jpg
    Bedside inlays from www.tufskinz.com

    7EB48BFF-9BEE-403F-B364-9266CAD5654B.jpg
    Chrome delete from www.ajtdesign-LLC.com , Dash mounting plate from C6412237-7B9C-4671-BCE8-D1B713BF6EF0.jpg
    AVS ventshades

    49BC9A4B-54BF-4584-A797-BDAA8EBD15FF.jpg

    ABS sensor covers, ebay

    83D64FE7-F6F0-4F02-A6DB-9D74F7D89B29.jpg
    Changed out Toyota bed rails cleats and replaced with Moebulb V-ring tie down anchors and T-slot nuts off Amazon and made some tool holders for the rails. Changed out ever light except headlights with LED and added the 1200 lumin backup LED from Headlight revolution

    F70E43C3-E96D-4F7F-A118-2D52D0948A51.jpg

    Also added Desert does it seat jackers, went over truck with a clay bar and put on two coats of wax. Chemical guys Jet seal first then their butter wax. When I first bought truck a year and a half ago I added Go Rhino step sides, retrax bedcover and put my old tracrac rack on it. Also installed anytime front camera from Trail Grid pro a few months back. Planning to rattle can bed liner spray or powder coat rack when I get around too it. Also got all glass covered in ceramic tint to cut down on UV. I think that pretty much catches me up on most of the mods that I have done now. Sorry for such a long post.

    FYI. I just used some 1/4 inch x 2 inch aluminum flat bar to mount the tool holder to the rail to lower them some. Not sure if you can tell by the picture. Attached flat bar to rail with t nut and v ring.

    No compressor just routed both lines to the rear. Here’s a link where I got mine.

    Your brake line extension brackets are swapped. This should be the correct orientation. I don't think it really matters, but wanted to point that out.

    Took the skid plate off to change the oil the other week. Decided to sand off the rust and paint since I had some leftover supplies from doing the tow hooks. 5 coats of duplicolor matte bronze and 4 coats of matte clear. Just the stock trd offroad skid but looking alot better.

    No, they are not. The bracket in the middle of yours will hit the bed and could smash the brake lines if you ever bottom out hard. The ARB middle bracket is shorter to prevent, and also doesn’t need to be as long due to how the axle moves when articulated, need the longer bracket on the point further out because when articulated it drops out further than the center one can. See how the feet on the arrow bracket actually do something on the outer lines that are subject to side loads with the ARB?, and don’t have to bend the snot out of brake lines.:notsure:

    Thank you so much for posting this, considering the CB kit doesn’t come with instructions. Makes total sense what you’re saying. Gonna go swap mine around right now.

    Yep, understand that. Here is my little setup. Not as extreme as some, but it works well for me.

    Love these wheels, probably what I'd go with next tire change, to 17's as well. Not a big fan of the fake beadlock look.

    I followed the directions from @coachbuilder for the install on mine, but after looking closer the OP appears to have the OME kit as seen by the non-arrow looking bracket (over the pumpkin) which is flat as shown in the OME kit pictures while the Coachbuilder kit uses a Z shaped bracket.

    Here is a thread where Coachbuilder noted the directions for his kit: https://www.tundras.com/threads/how...brake-line-relocation-kit.73374/#post-2724213

    Post# 11:
    "Thanks for posting, The arrow shaped bracket bolts to the top of pumpkin and will need to remove the bolts on each side of pumpkin before installing this bracket. just as you mentioned the hard lines are tight and will physically bend the hard lines in order the reach the bracket. after you have pulled the hard lines up you'll need to rotate the metal tabs 180 degrees on each side of pumpkin. this will allow the har lines to mount higher than they were originally. after you've done this follow the speed sensor wire up ( just left of pumpkin ) up to the pre filter box on the underside of bed. there is a threaded stud that is holding the speed sensor wire. the Z shaped brake will allow this wire to drop down and back providing addition length. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need pics."

    It looks like you corrected me in that thread also. :facepalm:The OP's is correctly installed. Do you know why the directions are different between the two kits? Thanks for catching my oversight on the OP's post. :bowdown:

    Yeah, I just noticed that was the OME kit and not the coachbuilder kit. My bad.

    None to day....that’s why I’m here.
    Installed a RAS (Roadmaster Active Suspension) Heavy Duty system today to go with my 5160’s previously installed. Drove a mile so not sure of the ride difference yet. I gained 1.25 inches right after install, we Will see if it settles some.

    Also I adjust my rancho speedometer calibrator…. For like the 5th time. Getting close, last setting was off 2 miles in a 266 mile trip compared to gps. The weird this is the odometer is getting close but the speedo is still of like 2-3 mph.

    Alot of them
    Which adjustment disc did you use? 1.25 sounds like the higher setting. I believe the white one is the smallest and right at 3/4 lift.
