I was thinking of putting my PUMA in that spot. How hard was it to relocate the PS reservoir?

Got after a rear bumper instal. Picked up a used KayMar from a fellow Mud member that arrived this past Friday. Tore right into, took a quick inventory before sandblasting the parts that had some rust. Did my best to straighten out any bent tabs I came across and then gave it a half decent rattle can paint job. Got her all installed on Sunday. Need to tidy up some wiring for the tail lights and relocate the camera. I’m pretty satisfied on how it came out, I didn’t have a template to make my cut so I gave it my best guess and it came out damn good! Some adjustments will need to be made to the jerry can swing but nothing I don’t think I couldn’t figure out.
What did the grom cost you and why grom instead is there any other headunits available like joying units
Had the Dobinsons Twin tube lift installed with the
Front Springs: (C59-542) LIFT WITH UP TO 110LBS OF LOAD
Rear Springs: (C59-559V) 50MM/2.0" LIFT NO LOAD
I wanted something basic that I could just install and forget. I went with the Ironman 4x4 UCAs.
Ended up getting 2" of lift in the front and 1" in the rear. So far I'm very satisfied with the ride.
Its slightly firmer than stock without being harsh. I'm still running the stock dunlops but will be
replacing them with probably 285/65/18 Toyo Open Country A/T IIIs soon.

Grom is around 650, and they run semi regular “group buys” at about 15% off. The Grom itself is just a dated Android box, but the magic is in all the CANBUS integration. It allows them to give you a semi seamless integration with OEM system. There are no visual clues whatsoever that anything is installed. Basically irs always running in the background and when you switch to whichever audio input it is assigned (it varies by model) it grabs the video screen and overlays the Android unit. Then when you switch to some other OEM function like climate control, it senses that and releases the screen back to the OEM system.

Changed the cabin air filter, fast and easy with no hang ups. Also put the 3rd row seats back in. Realistically I don't see drawers happening any time soon, or anything else that'd require them out anymore. Clears up some space in the garage as well. Now I can carry more vagrants around.
So glad that I'll never need the third row seats back in mine ever again.

I've thought about taking the second row out...

I have the drivers side of the second row and the whole third row removed.
Once mine is retired from daily duty, another 1-2 years max, I plan to remove one side of the second row as well.
Thank you!

Turned 80,000 on the way to a Rangers game this eve. Other than the self inflicted damage or breakage this vehicle has been awesome. Even then, it got me home when i really really broke it. First vehicle I've owned since new, and really don't see it leave the stable any time soon.
Edit: BOOBS was also achieved

What did you end up fixing when your alignment was ****ed? Drive the same since?

Upper and lower control arms, tie rod ends, "disassemble front end" was the description. Drives well enough. Ill have a better assessment after new rim/tires/alignment.

I really didn't like the amount of fab work required or shipping box size of my first rear bumper, I updated the design to make things for an easier install and shipping.
This design will keep out debris from the rear bumper area and will allow for bolt on mud flaps.
I will be putting a "used" section on the site where you will be able to buy my unwanted custom parts so keep an eye out, maybe you will be able to pick up my rear tube bumper for cheap.
Also the design of the rear recovery points is finished. These need to be made from 7075-T6 to get the 2x safety factor at 10k lbs.
These should fit a bunch of other Toyota models that have 35mm bolt spacing.

Slight lift and tires added by the best shop near Chicago...Yotaworks LLC. Love how it turned out. Simple and clean.
Tires: 275/70/18 BFG KO2s
Bora Wheel Spacers at 1in
Lift: WestScott Collar only in the front. Truck is completely level.
Front fender needed to be pushed forward to stop rubbing.
