:lol:
The Ikea bag is miscellaneous emergency supplies: tools, towels, toilet paper, air compressor, 2nd tow hitch, fuel can, spare bulbs, fuses, etc.
The backpack is recovery & tie down gear: ratchet straps, tow straps, chains, shackles, etc. Still looking to add a synthetic spun Power Puller since I'm not running a winch.

Installed a brake controller, OEM roof rack crossbars, and these unreasonably bright lights that were recently mentioned on here

It had around 58k when I bought it last year.
I went with regular rear springs. I have a camp trailer that I pull but the runner is a daily driver and I didn't want to make the regular on road manners more harsh. With KDSS and the Boss, I feel it's a nice combo. Overall it was 4.5 in with lift and tires.
Same here. I had a 2010 SR5 and searched for the 2013 trail for a few months. I wouldn't go newer because I loved the earlier front end.
The CHP finally caught up with me. Had to remove my widow tint today and have it inspected by a CHP officer.
Well I got 7 good years out of the tint.
In SoCal they don't bother you unless your an idiot. But this was in the central coast on HWY 101. I was just passing through. Sometimes they just need an excuse to pull you over hoping for something else. I prefer to stay under the Radar.
I will install new film but just trying to decide what %.

Installed the Momentum GT air intake and URD MAF Calibrator I bought from these boards. Thank you for all the general knowledge and thanks to @Friggin_Idiot for the great transaction.

Small little update, my dogs have a heck of a time jumping up to the rear seat, and with my older one pushing 12 years old and starting to show signs of arthritis, I've been looking into alternatives for them to get up and down from the truck, especially after swapping out the running boards for steps. So I found a solution, I ended up getting an open box which saved me about 40 bucks on this, so I was excited to put it all together.
Assembly wasn't too complicated, however I did notice a small problem (probably why it was an open box lol) the one red pin for the upper step wouldn't lock into the hole, the drilled hole was a bit too small. So I broke out the drill and widened the hole until it snapped into place. Victory!
Even though it was 90some degrees outside I had to do a test fit and see how it looks. It folds up when not in use which should come in handy when we take the dogs on a road trip. I also wanted to see if the lift gate would still clear the steps, and it does!
I'm still debating if I should raise the height up, but I will have to do some trial runs with the pups. I really think it won't be an issue and if I raise it anymore the tail gate won't open, so I think I'll leave the height as it is.
Excuse my finger, this was the only side pic I took. My one dog is almost 12 and the other one is 105 lbs so I figured the steps would be a nice easy way for them to get up and down. I also have a full CanvasBack liner set that I'll be using back there as well.
Since I had the truck out in the street, and had just washed it I had to snap some pics. Hadn't snapped any side shots with the new steps and amber deletes. She lookin sexy

So HOT past couple days here in Alabama! Yesterday I put the ditch light mounts on and today I put in the back coil spacers (1.5”) in! Pics coming soon! Ordering new pods for the ditch lights and swapping some lights around tomorrow if it’s not 1000 degrees outside lol...

A buddy and I installed my lift today. Didn't want to do a full system just yet, as I've not been limited by the stock suspension performance off-road here in FL, but wanted a bit more ground clearance. The on-road behavior has greatly improved, with far less body role, nosediving, and squatting. Happy with it for sure.
Also loosened the RCI sliders and pushed them up as far as they'd go on both sides. They look much better now.
Front - Toytec 112-620 springs and TT TP14 1/4" spacer on drivers side.
Rear - Wheeler's T13 rear with 1/2" Cornfed spacer drivers side.
Also posted in lifted thread, for reference.
