    It looks intimidating, especially with everything all spread out like this, but it's easier than it looks. Pry tools, a Philips screwdriver and a 10mm socket is all that's needed. None of the tabs broke.

    What’s that cup holder insert you have (second picture)? I’ve been looking for something like that, where did you get it?

    That looks sweet! I have an 07 and Toyota only made a silver bezel so I'm gonna paint mine. Black looks SO much better than the silver.

    And, seeing as my power needs for this truck are limited, finished wiring the fuse/relay center that hides in front of the battery.

    It was used, I don't know. I think someone posted the part number for the black on on this site a while back. If I find it, I'll let you know.

    Installed skid plates and trimmed the stock spare tire guides so I can fit my full size spare. I still need to get some rubber tube to keep the frame from rubbing the tire. It looks like I can fit my 285/75/18 spare.

    How big of a lift did you do that required the drop?
    What made it difficult? Tight spaces, or just the nature of the job?
    I've never lifted anything, so I'm very hesitant for fear of piling on more expenses to accommodate it.

    There are a few things that just make it an annoying project.
    First, the drivers side of the diff did not want to drop after I removed the bolt, so I had to pry at it with a crowbar to bring it down.
    Second, I used two floor jacks to drop each side of the diff evenly, so having both of them under there made things a challenge logistics-wise.
    Third, the bolts have nuts on top of the crossmember that are damn near impossible to touch, let alone get a wrench on! I was lucky enough to have a stubby 19mm that fit perfectly, but it was a chore.

    Other than that, it was fine :rofl:

    They claim around 2.5” of lift, but I’m convinced I got more than that.

    Yeah, I'll probably just see what a little bigger tire does for me first. The tundra was supposed to save me money....not sure it is working as planned.:ballchain:

    No doubt. Makes me want to put a skid plate on my 2wd. But hell, I couldn't pull the paint job off.
