Drove 1970 miles from Reno Nevada back to Wisconsin only stopping for gas. I put 5700 miles on it in 12 days in a combination of on and off road driving.
That the same place I just was did MT. Rainer. very nice out there.
Got a chance to tear it up a bit at the South Jetty Dunes in Oregon. Was blast flying up the dunes. It was the first time I had the truck in the sand it does well for 6000 lbs plus truck.
Installed a Warn M12000 with 125' of Amsteel 3/8 rope, me like.
Got rid of the broken power antenna and installed a black rubber antenna. Much better and it actually looks cool!
Also installed some OEM Toyota side markers. What a PIA these were to install

How tough was it to install that antenna? Did you have to remove the fender to gain access? I've got to fix mine too.
It's not too bad. The hard part is getting the new cable to the radio. After removing the old unit, I cut the old wire then taped the new wire to it, using it as a "fish tape" to pull the new wire in to the dash. Getting the old and the new cable passed through the fender is the hard part. Once you pass the little opening it's smooth sailing.
Installed the L OME shocks to go with the 3"(+) OME Competition Springs (418/421).

pics?^^^^^^
Sorry, lol, I guess I put those pics on another thread. There's no visible difference from the shocks, of course, but here's the 3" OME Comp setup: [edit: I bought a cheap snorkel precleaner and then took it back off. It made a horrible noise at speeds over 55mph when my foot wasn't on the gas.The middle pic was taken today. The 1st and 3rd pics are from a week ago.]
