@krice118 - I think I will get the same speakers as you! Did you replace the tweeters, too, and if so, what do you go with? Thanks

Just speakers. Made huge difference

I will say I also gave an aftermarket head unit too. Crutchfield has an online consult service and they can hook you up.

That's in the plans, too, but I have at least one busted speaker that I can't take any longer!!I'm hoping on their site now. What head unit did you choose?

Did a little price breakdown in my head after 100k miles / 10 years

Purchase with 69k miles- $16k
Maintenance ~$15k
Alternator
2x TB/ water pump
Valve cover gaskets
2 sets of tires
AC condenser
Batteries
Spark plugs
Brakes rotors x2
Pads x3
Steering rack
Fluids
Starter

Averages out to $1500/ year in maintenance
Hoping that will be less as time goes on since almost everything has been replaced.

Mods $10k armor & catback exhaust


All said if you pay someone to do maintenance and you build it a 100 will cost ~$40k.

Which averages to $210/ month in mods/ maintenance . Only thing I would do differently is maybe not modify so much- not really needed but ive had fun doing it along the way.

The irony is i wheeled her way more in stock form with 33s than its currently built status.

Hey @krice118 - interested in why you haven't modified the front grease caps to fit the Tundra wheel caps?

I recently purchased a set of the same Tundra wheels and after getting a nail in the west desert last weekend in my 8 year old KO2s, it's time to find some new tires and put the new wheels on.

My mechanic painted the hubs black- twas good enough for me

Been designated as our beach cruiser. My ironman cook slapacers have deteriorated- we are finding blue chunks falling off after 9 years / 90k miles. Quite a bit of wheeling

What’s the coil for me? Want a 2” coil

I have ASFIt skids, sliders, roof rack front and rear bumpers no swing outs. One day I’ll have a 40 gallon LRA main fuel tank.

Currently running tough dog adjustable rear shocks with OME 865 coils and the now decrepit coil spacers.

Swapping 863s in the rear, 40 gallon replacement tank and some misc TLC.
