    Does that fit with the TRD skid plate installed? I'm assuming so?

    Installed the Bilstein 6112s (@ 1.9”)/ 5160s today and got new rubber. Loving the way it sits and rides. Waiting on my RCI sliders so my wife and kids won’t complain about having to jump in ;).

    I’m waiting on my new G-Teks to arrive. I can’t imagine trying to take them off... my old set was on my DC for 280k of my 298k miles!

    Installed my N-Fab podium steps tonight.

    I was going to ask why the roll up? My tonneau cover is coming Thursday and I went with the trifold where it completely folds up and latches upright with bars. As someone who never owned one before, why did you go with the rollin?

    Keep an eye on the powder coat. Mine started getting flat spots after a few months. They are coated in Line-X Premium now. :D

    install is super easy, as mentioned you do need both the handle and A pillar you listed...got mine from Roman as well, but unfortunately he doesn’t ship the hardware so quick trip to local Lowe’s, no biggie (I show the hardware needed in my video)...if you order from Sparks they do include hardware, but Roman is awesome to us so I didn’t mind running to Lowe’s and spending a couple bucks...haha

    Thanks. I’ve got a coworker that has the same steps on his 2019 and his are holding up pretty well, but I’ll keep my eye on them. I do like the fact they are SS underneath at least, and prefer the rounded tube over the predators.

    Do you notice a difference between the stock and TRD sway bar? I have the rear but wondering if the front is worth the cost.

    I can only assume as well since I do not have one.

    No. Those are the OEM hooks, put back on just as they came off.

    Jury is still out, as I didn't have time or dry weather to test drive it last night, will let you know.

    I think that they were maybe put on backwards from factory then somehow if that is how you took them off because they are not facing the right direction.

    Tow hooks on 2WD non-TRD package trucks don’t have the large ring that goes around in front that sticks out. His are on correctly for his truck.

    There have been a few posts on this topic. Basically everyone agrees that there is a significant difference once you add a TRD rear when you had no stock bar. The front is a smaller difference but it's still there, the TRD front is thicker and a little heavier (I didn't compare them directly) which helps it limit body roll a little more over stock. With that being said, majority agree that upgrading your front to a TRD shouldn't be a priority but it's still a benefit.
    I had both mine done at the same time and I am extremely happy with the ride. But I can't speak to how just changing the front affects the ride.
    Hope this helps. Enjoy your day!

    I wanted tow mirrors but not the big bulky ones. I found these and bought them. The inside is flat like a normal mirror and the end is convex. They do exactly what I need to them to do. I can see my trailer wheels and my back tires when I’m backing into a spot. $70 each from Spotter Mirror. 4833A2D3-B6D3-4EAD-9C91-4015DA5535BD.jpgE193F322-DDFC-41E3-B396-CD9C7AF6C392.jpg 203FB4FA-9AA6-4AAF-BAA8-A703A91E8FB9.jpg

    So far pretty smooth. Slightly harsher and noisier than stock. And I mean slightly. We’ll see if that holds true after a couple of thousand miles. Appears I lost about 1-2 mpg with them. 4.88 Nitros are on the list to fix that.
