Ran wire for about 50% of my light pods so far for "ditch lights" side facing, and rear facing led pods on my Lietner Rack. Just did a few hours cruising the web looking for install/wiring methods for off-road lighting on my new "Fenix 4200 mini police switch console" tried to save a few bucks rather than spending $800 on a Spod that fits the new tacos

IMG_0810.JPG IMG_0811.JPG IMG_0817.JPG IMG_0820.JPG Since we are getting a full size spare and its going on the roof till i can find a bumper with a tire swing that fits the truck. I figured the spare down below is not needed nor is the pulley. Tried to take the two skids off but stripped a bolt so eff it. Shaved off probly a good 50 lbs.

Installed the ARB Skid Plates today!











Overall I like them for the money and for my intended use. They are definitely not rock crawl approved but that's not my intent so I'm happy with them. I feel they give a good amount of coverage and protection for the money!

Wouldn't see why you'd need new shocks unless they are worn. What shocks are on it? I had 2" add a leaf on 06 Tacoma but had bilstein 5100s in rear.

In the middle of dual battery setup and running wire. Anyone have battery suggestions for auxiliary battery. Leaning towards a yellow top but have heard bad things lately.

Worked on some electrical stuff. I took out the glove box and mounted a power distribution panel there. This will be for all the stuff that runs off the 2nd battery. I also added a small fuse panel under the hood for any stuff I add that might run off the main battery. None of the original electrical system will be used for stuff other than factory equipment....i know it sounds complicated...but I love doing electrical work.

I have dual Deka AGM Intimidators. (9A34R's) Haven't had any issues at all with them, the starting one cranks over fine in the dead of winter and the aux. one powers the fridge and other stuff like a charm. I run a TMax dual battery controller to keep them both in line.

Not sure what the difference is between stock and the bilsteins. The rear bilsteins are just a better shock than stock but provides no lift. Could have longer shaft. I still don't think you'd have any problem with an add a leaf.
