    You think the Apple CarPlay Radio will mount into the 5th gen?

    Old 97's T4R

    Finally got around to wiring up the winch and light bar in the new bumper. For the winch, I installed a Blue Sea battery isolator rated at 300a continuous, 500a for 5 minutes and up to 900a for 30 seconds. I had to re-terminate the positive cable coming off the winch to connect to the 3/8"...

    Old 97's T4R

    It took a couple months for all the parts to come in, but I finally got everything I needed to install the new front bumper. I chose the Victory4x4 Blitz bumper, with an amber Baja S8 light bar and a Smittybuilt X2O 10k winch. I wasn't keen on a full sized bumper, just something to protect the...

    Another Bilstein 5100 question

    Apologies, I must have misread the intent of your question. I like the current stance, it's pretty much level at the fenders. Though that's changing a bit as I add the weight of the front bumper and skid. The ride is pretty good, road driving is comfortable. I'm just finding I have to take...

    Another Bilstein 5100 question

    In short, it's fine. I currently have 5100s paired with Dobinsons coils that are roughly the same height, and they work great. The thing to remember is that the shocks and the coils are essentially independent. With stock, or at least stock height coils, you can use the adjustable 5100s to get...

    Going Bigger - 5th Gen Tire Fitment Guide

    I have a 2017 SR5 Premium with TRD wheels, and put 275/70/17 Falkens on them with only a slight rub in reverse at full lock, which was resolved with a fender liner mod (really easy). My guess is you will be fine, and at worst should need a small fender liner modification. I would suggest...

    Old 97's T4R

    My CTH T10 head unit arrived last week, and I finally got it installed. It takes a *lot* of tweaking to get it set and running how you want it, but having CarPlay working on that 9" screen is glorious. I love that it feels stock and has actual knobs to turn. I also swapped out my cup holder...

    Old 97's T4R

    Slightly tilts the seat backwards, gives it more of a bucket feel compared to the super flat stock setup. It can help take some weight off of the thigh by the back of the knee during long drives (supposedly), so I'm curious to see if I end up sticking with them. They also sell a set for the...

    Old 97's T4R

    Seat Jackers arrived. Super easy install and does noticeably change the seat ergonomics. I'm tall (6'), but have shorter legs (30" inseam), and the new configuration will take some adjustments and getting used to.

    Added some driveability mods today: 1. Pedal Commander - Figured I'd see what all the fuss is about. Chose the PC due to the bluetooth functionality, so I wouldn't have to have to worry about mounting a controller on the dash. Super easy and quick install (unclip skinny pedal, clip PC to...

    Rubbing Tire on 2021 TRD Pro

    You'll probably want to move your fender liner forward, away from the tire. This involves removing the screws, moving the liner and screwing the liner in the modified position. Check here for more. Once that's done, I suggest you get a friend to stand by the tire while you crank the wheel and...
