Just finished installation of 1.5" front & 1" rear spacers from Burtman Industries. I just wanted my TRDP to look a little more "proper" lol. Not going for huge tires or anything as I already have a built FJC on 35s for the crazy stuff.

Last weekend but yeah. About 4-5 hours cutting across the desert with East Valley 4Runners.
Followed by an oil change, rotation, tq check, and greasing. Need to get around to changing on the gear oil.

Worked on a storage /sleeping platform. Using gun cases temporarily, will convert to an actual drawer system eventually.

Installed rear recovery points. Included removing the exhaust downturn.

This is bit more than what you asked, but in case this helps with your wiring decisions.
I kept all wiring internal to the engine bay, since I'm not operating lockers, and the hood has to be open to use the compressor. [For now
]I made up two short stubs of female-to-female disconnects to use the ARB harness, which I coiled and zip-tied under the tray, and connected to the switch on the tray. I ran 18 gauge wire cut to the same length as the ARB battery cable, then put a 3 amp inline fuse on the end of that. I connected both the main battery cable, and the in-line relay fuse directly to the battery.
This is not a system that is controlled by the ignition being turned on. Not optimal, but I'm OK with this for the moment.
I used 1/2" split-loom to wrap all the wires. The original ARB battery wire length was just (barely) long enough to be able to bring the wires around and make a turn just behind the fuse box. I separated out the positive, and negative at that point, running the positive underneath a bit of the fuse-box, and up the side of the battery
When I add in my auxiliary power distribution system, I'll connect the switch power to a circuit that is only on with the ignition on. The switch wire that currently goes to the inline fuse can be shortened and still used for that purpose.

Love the Mall Crawl Permit!
How bright are the blacked out signals? Trying to decide between smoked and blacked out.
Bought it! Brought home a 2020 MGM Pro two days ago. First mods were deflating the factory tires from 4 different PSI settings from the factory :shrug:
Riding 32psi all the way around now per door sticker. Is everyone else running around the same PSI with factory TRD Pro wheels and Nitto tires?
Also added NAV screen protector right away along with glove and center-console box organizers. Lastly got rid of the chrome steering wheel logo with a nice black overlay.
This is my dream truck and I've been a long time lurker. Happy to join the club!

Awesome! Congrats on the new truck!
I'm right behind you - should be picking up a 2021 MGM Venture in a couple weeks.
How do you like the screen protector?

Took VHT Nite Shades to my third brake lite and pretty stocked the way it turned out (3 thin coats):
I did the same thing, 3 coats is perfect. Darkens it but lets enough light through.

I run 32psi since the sticker tells me to. 36psi would be the most I would go.
