Can confirm. 1Up is the best rack.

So it's that time of year for rust treatment. For those of you in the rust belt, any particular companies you recommend? There is a local Krown dealer in St. Louis, but I've read that they drill access holes to apply the coating. For some reason I am opposed to this.

I have Xpel Prime XR in 70% installed for the past couple of years. No issues with auto headlights. It makes summer so much more tolerable. I say do it. You won't regret it.

That was my concern with the FCP kit. The recall of the UCAs concerned me since I don't really have the garage space or expertise to pull them for replacement.

Picking the collective brain here: Worth it to go with a Dobinsons IMS setup and UCAs or save about $750 and get Ironman FCPs and UCAs?

Yeah I second this. I just got my 2015 OTT tuned last weekend. Didn't feel much at the top end, but it definitely feels peppier from a stop.

Oh yeah! STL Toyota Off-Road group. We were down at Moonlight Saturday and Sunday. I'm new to wheeling in general, so that's the only place I've been, but would like to try out some other places.

Made it out with the local Toyota club on Sunday. I brought my 4 year old. He is already asking about going back :) I learned a couple things: 1. Pizza cutters worked great. No issues with traction 2. I will need a new front skid plate. I dented the stock one pretty good.

Attempted trimming the front and rear last night and this morning. It's the first pass. I will try and get the front leveled out. My question is now: How do I remove the brackets holding the plastic radiator shield? Do I drill out the rivets holding them to the crash bar or just cut them off...

Looking good!

That's what I'm leaning towards now. EBC slotted and yellow pads. What stainless lines did you end up going with?

What’s everyone using for rotors and pads these days? Looking at Brembo blanks and pads. I don’t have any armor or bumpers or tow anything. Just 33s and the flat land of Illinois.

Question: With aftermarket wheels, are ET lugs necessary? I ask because I’m getting my Fifteen52 wheels mounted tomorrow and the tech at Discount Tire tells me that normal acorn lugs will have enough thread engagement.

Exactly where I’m headed. Seems like most sliders aren’t entirely full length? I like the coverage of the CBI sliders but not the look.

Not much going on here. Added the Gamiviti rack in June and wheels and tires in May. Notice the crinkled front bumper and scuffed running boards. Whoops ;)
