    That's some real mental gymnastics to get to that conclusion. I could not disagree more. And I do not know what second plate you are having to remove to access the drain valve. My RCI plate has a small cut-out that allows easy access to drain wihout even needing to use tubing.

    But again, TEHO

    No mental gymnastics needed; just relaying my experience with all three setups. You are more than welcome to disagree. The CBI has better coverage than the RCI plates, so the drain plug is obscured by the plate, necessitating a second cutout to be removed like the cutout for the filter canister.

    Replaced a leaking O'Rileys SuperStart with a new Interstate Batteries MTP-27F. I also replaced the battery hold-down bracket, J bolts and nuts because the acid had started to eat at the bracket.

    You will need to point me in a direction on this. I have not really looked into any more upgrades.

    Bracket is very nice! Tried to find one here with a Toyota or TRD logo but look like the person making them stopped.

    Nope I'm done ... almost bit off on starlink roof top mount. Unless something spectacular comes up without Chineseum electronics integration, I'm done.

    Currently trying to figure out the best way to mount one to the my camper shell that doesn't require [too much] drilling.

    First upgrade is going to be changing out the halogen headlights to LED. I looked at OE, but these were about the same price and I like the idea of a projector over a reflector. $780 at Walmart plus 13% back and 2% cc rewards

    2010 here. New grille and Morimotos (headlights) and smoked fog light lenses. Also, running the fogs independently. The grille was a little bit of job. But went smoothly overall. Just takes patience(lots of patience). Headlights were plug and play. Up next, eibachs and a borla of some kind.

    Not sure why that grille has a TSS garnish but @memario1214 can hook you up with suspension and @dirtydeeds is our go to exhaust guy. His systems will perform better than a Borla.

    I did not notice the TSS garnish until after I opened it and ultimately it doesn’t bother me. I am very happy with it. Thanks for the @‘s for suspension and exhaust.

    If you message him, he seems to work with folks to make changes to there's. I know @1lowlife has changed his DD a few times and Keith made it easy.
