[tech703]

FIgured ill start a thread for mine, idk if ill be able to keep up with it but oh well

purchased Nov3 22 WIfe needed more space so traded in the taco which i never really got started on so it wasnt too bad

 

[tech703]

added the usb to the rear for the kiddos it wasn’t bad at all took less than an hour

 

[tech703]

applied surface shield to the underside
i don’t think it came out too bad for my first time trying it out
when spring rolls around i’ll try to remove and reapply in the better weather

removed that trash skid plate that was all rusted out and ordered a victory front skid

blacked out the chrome surround on the front grille and the L

and installed my SSC1 and SSC2 fog and ditch lights, waiting for my switch panel to arrive so that i can hook up the fogs and the ditch lights
currently the backlight is connected to ign on source and the ditch lights arent hooked up.

once i get the panel ill connect both fogs and backlights to it so I'll be able to control them independent of the headlights

tires just came in today so hopefully will get those mounted this weekend
General Grabbers 275/65/18 research says they will fit here’s hoping that they do

I dig the white lettering. Wish my Ridge Grapplers had that.

yeah i really like the white letters i had the same on my 4runner and decided to stick with what i knew, it was between this and the Wildpeaks

Congrats on your new project, looks good!
Good on ya that you are able to start your mods right away!
Many people need some time to recover from the purchase before modding.

i only removed the infamous bolt from the fender liner and got away with no rubbing from lock to lock so far

 

[tech703]

Got a link to that switch panel? I’m looking to do the same thing in both the GX and RAM 2500.

I have something similar to this and it's great!
My only issues is that I wish it had more buttons for some extra aux lighting I've been wanting.
I may just do a second one and use it just for lights.
Here's a picture of mine and where I located it.

I know it looks like the steering wheel pushes into it, but I think it's the camera angel and also the steering wheel is in the "parked" position (all they up and forward).
If you look carefully, it's just velcro'ed on there.
