I searched and didn't find my answer, sorry if I missed it. I have the Diode dynamics lightbar sitting in my garage. It come with a 3 way rocker. Red = power, Blue = backlight, Yellow= main beam. Pretty straight forward. Cali raised switch wire colors make no sense, but whatever, at least they...

Just wanted to post a quick tip that's been helpful for me when I'm shopping for things (wheels, grille, topper, etc). I've used Google's AI, Gemini, to get an idea of what my truck would look like with those things installed. Every now and then AI messes it up and makes some weird slop, but...

I'm getting ready to order a @Softopper for the summer and plan to do some bed camping. I really like the BamBed, but don't love the price for what it is. Don't want something like the decked system because I want to be able to quickly remove it for hauling stuff. Wondering if anyone has...

Hey all, Cancelled my order with Aspire for the Pro "style" grill with no cutout and decided to go OEM. If you get the right discount OEM is actually cheaper (if you don't count the light bar). Plus something just looks a little off to me with the aftermarket "pro style" lettering. Idk if I'm...

Just sharing this for my poverty trim folks... I chose Westcott's Billet Tow Hooks because they are made in the USA, high quality, and match my build. However, they are quite a bit thicker at the mounting points than the OEM hooks. In addition to that, I have the aftermarket RCI crossmember...

I ordered the westcott designs tow hooks, but they are thicker than the OEM hooks. That paired with the aftermarket crossmember on the SR5 left very few threads to bite into. When I went to 75# they stripped those couple threads. I've been all over town looking for a longer M12 x 1.25 but...

I was looking around and seems like some folks made this more complicated than it needs to be, so just wanted to throw a couple pointers and the torque spec out here for anyone looking. First off, you do not need an extension on a socket through the engine bay to remove or install the bolts. I...

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this. Westcott uses 6061 Auluminum. Amazon brand says T6061 aluminum. Amazon lists 5-6,000lb weight capacity (not that I trust that). Westcott doesn't list a capacity. Just curious if any knowledgeable folks know much about aluminum strength. I...

I'm kind of in to the retro touches recently, which is why I went with machined wheels and just ordered the "4WD" mudflaps. I really like this turbo decal too, but it's almost guaranteed I'd screw up the application lol My mom had a really cool rig, but she gave it to her maintenance guy. I'm...

I found a great deal on the TRD center pipe (PT226-35240) + axle back portion (PT226-35241-02) and went in on it with another 4G member so he could get the center pipe and I could get this. Install is a obviously a breeze: Unbolt 2 bolts, release the hangars, jack up the rear, twist the old...

I've had a bunch of vehicles, but have never tuned one. I just got an email that I won a Cobb Accessport + Panda Tune, which is pretty exciting ! I have honestly not read much about tuning, so I'm just curious if anyone has any concerns post-tune. I'd assume if you blew the engine, warranty...

I was just browsing for funsies and for whatever reason discount tire is showing that a Method 318 in 18x8.5 +40mm will not fit my truck but the same wheel in 18x9 +18mm Will fit. This seems incorrect as I've run whatever the hell the stock SR5 wheels are, +55mm, and +20mm. Right now I'm...

I recently bought a couple sets of tires and went through a couple tire changes at Discount Tire. I didn't think to closely inspect everything after the last set of tires were installed which was about a week ago. I was getting my PSI dialed in today and noticed 2 chips on 2 different wheels...

So I obviously I lost a lot of efficiency moving from stock 245s to 275/70R18 with a 1.5" / .5" lift, but if I drive around like my grandma all week in town I average maybe 14+. Yet today when I was running errands I decided to test it driving like a 19 year old with a WRX and I got 16.1. What...

A lot of folks in the build threads or wheel/tire combo threads post photos at different angles (I know, looks bad ass) but what I want to see is side profile photos of your truck on flat ground. If you don't mind, post a side profile photo and say which level/lift kit and height you used...

I apologize if this has been asked, I couldn't find anything concrete... Does anyone know where to find the different spring rates between models ? I am throwing in a rear .5" spacer on my SR5 to get a little rake back after my bilstein 5100 install, but a member here also gave me his rear...

Before/after

To level my truck I decided to go with Bilstein 5100s because they are 1. Cost effective and 2. A significant upgrade over stock SR5 shocks. This video really reinforced that second thought for me + my 4x4 guy throws them on all his rigs and he does some gnarly shit. Anyways, I got all 4...

Someone asked me about this on another thread, so I figured I'd share here for anyone looking for an easy and affordable DIY upgrade to your stereo system. I am no audiophile, but this is how I did the install and it sounds great to me. If I want it to it can shake the rearview mirror, but I...

I'm pretty new to the lift/level game. My last truck was the only lifted one I had and it came with spacers and shot suspension on a 6 inch pro comp lift (rode like crap) and then I replaced them with Rough Country 6" loaded struts before I sold because it was economical. Honestly the rough...
