I got the heated seats from Clazzio, so there's two extra wires. I have those going to switches in the left panel, one is for backlighting and I forget the other one. I assume I still need to run these after I use the hot wire and install the relay like you, right?

Oh, I also installed the Ironman under body armor kit (covers the front end of the exhaust area). This kit came with a free air compressor too!

Ironman 4x4 Stage 2 Foam Cell Pro Lift Kit Installed over the course of two days with some help of a couple buddies here and there. My arms were sore for a few days, but goddamn if the taco doesn't look so much better now... Last pic in the roll is stock suspension when I was on a camping trip...

I just installed the Ironman Stage 2 kit (foam cell, heavy load front shocks, heavy load rear leaf pack) on my truck over the holidays. Some thoughts and advice I have... 1. Unless you're mildly mechanically inclined, don't do the install yourself. There were some physically demanding/difficult...

Thanks for the quick reply! Ideally, I'd like to go 3" front and rear. Right now, my rear looks a little lower, likely due to the camper shell, roof rack, rtt, and heavier/larger spare, and I haven't even gotten a rear bumper yet. But that's why I'm eyeing something with front and rear shocks...

Dang, looks nice. Wonder what I'll do with that sweet black exhaust tip the dealer put on it though...

I'm currently eyeing this (https://www.roughcountry.com/toyota-suspension-lift-kit-74232c.html) for my truck, but I got a buddy that's advising me to go Bilstein. I like the price and possible ease of install, but I don't know much about lifts. I'm looking to get more height, and especially some...

I have 285/70R17 KO2's and I actually tried to put the spare under last night, and while it technically fits, it's up against the exhaust heat shield. So I didn't feel comfortable with that and just put it in the bed. I might try some exhaust chopping because I'll be adding a lift kit soon so I...

Pretty sure I'm about to order one of these. They look super sweet and they're pretty competitive in price.

I got some 285/70R17s on my truck last month, then added spacers yesterday. I had a little rubbing before the spacers, but after the install, I couldn't even get out of the driveway without rubbing. So I did some cutting myself after watching about a dozen Youtube videos and I got off a good...

Thanks! I ended up getting a full size spare. I currently have it in the bed since the guys at Discount Tire felt uneasy about putting it under the truck because they thought the rim might get scratched. I'm looking at getting a swing-out rear bumper with a tire mount now though. Just adding it...
