Hauled 535lbs with my pro yesterday, best it’s ever felt going over bumps

Beautiful day here today, washed the truck, does anyone have the secret to cleaning the awful black chrome TRD pro exhaust? I’ve tried Adam’s all purpose cleaner and iron remover to try and clean it but nothing is really helping, I really want to get the silver polish trd tip but that’s like $1000

Installed CBI Super Stock Covert Bumper. I chose the super stock model so I would not have to touch the radar, Rigid fog lights, and 2 sensors. Only had to cut out the plastic white and silver below black area with the fog lights and sensors. The order lead time was 9 weeks 2 days with 6 days shipping. Arrived yesterday afternoon by Fedex @ 4pm and I came in from the garage at 945 pm. Took 5 1/2 hours with 45 minutes of that trying to figure out how to get the top corners of the grille to come off the sides up behind the fender flares. Watched their CBI Youtube video of an Offroad Taco install multiple times but the Trailhunter has a few step more and a couple of steps less and then a couple of now what do I do to figure out on my own.

Also installed Badlands Apex 12000 winch, but Yotamafia will do the wiring hookup. I'm not going to attempt with this hybrid and the battery is also under the rear passenger seat.

Only one hiccup, I forgot to plug in one wiring harness that goes to the radiator grill shutter, drive-start control system and radar. I drove the truck last night and there were not codes. This morning going out the driveway, all 3 popped up with check engine light. The Trailhunter displays what is wrong instead of needing an OBD reader (see photo). Went back and watched the install video a couple more times watching for harnesses that get unplugged and I realized there are 2 harnesses on the driver side but 3 harnesses on the passenger side. I forgot to re-plug the harness deeper down below the top 2 plugs. I cleared the codes, drove the truck, no more code.

Final thought. Wife says why did you decide to do this yourself and not pay Yotamafia to do it? $1k reasons such as Roam boxes and an awning.

Installed the victory 4x4 engine cover on my hybrid. Looks good, covers a lot of the spaghetti wires running through the motor and it was an easy install.

Installed Rough Country molle system (I just did the front part of the bed. Easy to install.

Does this fit under the oem tonneau without modification?

I actually have the OEM Tonneau cover, so I can answer this. It sure does, and it retains the use of the OEM bed rail. In fact, it sits right under the bed rails

Awesome, that gives me something to look into, looks like it might prevent my drains from being knocked off sometimes

Yesterday I drove from Phoenix to Tucson and purchased an ARB Sports Bar off a Traililhunter.
Today I installed it. Took about an hour.

Could maybe try denatured alcohol?

maybe just start with one small spot to make sure it doesn’t take the paint off with it

For me, I used Sheen Genie All Metal Polish & Cleaner. I bought like 4 bottles and got one free for $40 at the Houston Auto Show. They're really inexpensive, you can buy the entire cleaning kit on Amazon for $125.

OR you can buy a 2 Pack for $23. It says you don't have to buff it after you apply and wipe it. But I do it anyways...seems to shine and sparkle a little bit more.
