Thank!! Not paint - plastidip. And has held up well. Color is Anthracite Gray and matches the gray lower body color in a lot of our trucks. Followed up with a “glossifier” coat. Very easy to do. All on YouTube.

Where did you relocate the control module to for the winch? The install looks really clean. I am working towards figuring out where to put the control module on my VR-10 S winch. I was thinking about putting it where you have the light bar. Ha ha, but I want to mount a light bar exactly where you did.
Installed a vanity plate so the 100's of vehicles I pass on the way to Sea of Cortez will understand my hurry

I wouldn’t say this is optimal - but it works. I have it tucked in against the center cross member with a zip tie to keep it from shifting. It’s in pretty tight. The end state intent is to fab up a bracket to keep it tight - but this is working for now ...
You might try and mount that to radiator brace where the upper horn is mounted. Make some L brackets and use the various threaded holes available on the brace to mount to.
Be carful to not let that rub on your cooling fins too long.
My house battery was not holding a charge so I swapped out a very expensive Die Hard Platinum marine battery for a not so expensive Duracell marine battery.
If this doesn’t work I’m throwing my National Luna split charging system in the trash.

New plates and new tundra wheels powder coated Bronze wheels with 35” ko2’s . I need to find a better color match for the center caps, but not bad for now. Ps. My Cooper STT Pro are for sale in the classifieds. Only 6k miles on them.
Awesome. Thank you for posting up those photos. I believe that I am going to get the long relocation kit and move the module to where I have some extra room around the primary battery. Your setup definitely gives me food for thought though...
Any rubbing with the 35’s?!? I’m thinking about pulling the trigger...
Any feedback on the STT Pros vs K02 street handling and road noise. Im actually leaning toward this tire and offing my K02s.

About a week and a half ago, but still relevant. Second snow trip in the 100 - still learning how to drive her, but man is she planted.
Before Monday:
After Monday:
IM, Foam Cell Pro shocks, TB's, springs, SPC UCA's, Slee diff drop.
Probably the best characteristic about my 100 is the almost rust-free undercarriage...a huge contrast from the local 100s for sale here in the mid-Atlantic which were almost all rusted to hell.
So I picked up a gallon of Fluid Film and used a cheap $30 spray gun and my old 5 gallon air compressor. I used a little over half gallon and applied this stuff liberally. So glad I didn’t go with the spray cans. I have enough to do another application. If I could do it all over, I’d heat up the can before spraying. It’s very likely I’d have used less. I’d also pick up one of those flexible hose nozzles to get into the hard to reach places. I ended up applying by hand on some parts.

Your wheels look great.
I know it sounds corny, but try putting down a wet coat of your bronze spray paint (looks too light in the picture, right?), then when it flashes for just a few seconds but it is still wet enough for another coat to "burn in", dust it with black spray or even better a bronze that is darker. Dust it til it looks right and you should have it. It did a similar deal with my "grey chrome" wheels and it worked great.
I liked my STT Pro a lot. My only complaint is that the white letters didn’t clean up as easy as BFG’s. Otherwise it’s a great tire. I have ran them for 6k miles and they still look brand new. My wife didn’t care for the pro look. Was just an opportunity to eat new tires again. I had to
