    I echo what @RusPro21 said, I also went that route as well.

    Also, I need to know what nifty little bench you have there to shoot out of the back of your truck, for reasons… :spending:

    Hey @TampaRD Pro, great setup. I'm sure those LP9s will light up the road by themselves.
    best,

    Lots.
    Thanks and yes, I think you are correct! The LP9's are great and put out an amazing amount of light. I tried to choose a balanced lighting system for the truck based on my individual requirements and usage. As a consumer, my advice for those contemplating is to do your own research and testing prior to purchase, think about it very hard, then - buy once, cry once. Thanks for creating such good products at Baja Designs.

    I used one case of DynaMat - I believe it’s 36 sq ft - and it seemed to be a good amount for the doors and back wall. I had a few small pieces left.

    I just hope the letters are the same size for the two different pro grille’s pre / post TSS. Would make it easier for you and faster to market

    I put my Victory 4X4 dash mount in today. It was a pain running the usb wire down through and out. I had to drill and use a rat tail file at the bottom to make room to run the lines out. I didn’t feel comfortable splicing into the one port. I do like it. I also had to put tape around two of the bolts that go way back in to bolt the stereo in. My projects rarely go like the videos. :( Now I can mount stuff on the plate. GPS, phones, etc.8233350F-F97B-4D5C-B2AF-BEF5682BE5D9.jpgB165E0A8-547E-4D88-BF44-35ECC556091F.jpg

    I picked up this 2016 a few weeks ago. For whatever reason, the previous owner had steel wheels with black hubcaps on it. It’s definitely a TRD OF package though. I checked the vin. I just picked up a set of OR wheels and put 275/70/18 duratracs on it today and installed them. Also just leveled the front with about 2.75 inch rough country level. Might have to add the 1 inch blocks in the rear. Just got the windows tinted and did a few other small things like LED lights inside and outside. For now, I think I’m done. Thankfully I work remote and don’t drive much, this gas mileage is horrible :eek:

    Replaceable steel angle. Steel slides on things better than aluminum too.

    At least, that's my take away from that pic.

    I do too as long as it’s a pretty weld. A lot of my welds don’t turn out that nice so I keep plenty of grinding wheels around.

    Id like some letter covers in red. I tried to hyperdip them last month. Did not turn out too good. Ended up just putting decals on them. I’d love to cover up the grey sides of the letters. I’ve got a stock 21 trd pro grill. You will get my money when you make these. Is the console box for console that have a safe? I’ve got the safe in mine and haven’t seen many options for those.

    Thanks for link. I think I’m going to do like you and get some harnesses too. I used some add a fuses for hooking up triggers for my switch pro and I’ve noticed that they have caused my backup camera display to flicker and has static sometimes. Especially if the wires are laying too close to the other fuses and relays.

    I have the TSS on my grill. I’d be happy to test fit some letters for you.
