    I played around with the color thing on one of the big tire websites, and you're right, the bronze looks very sharp on a silver vehicle.

    That is correct TRD Pro wheels are narrower than TRD Offroad wheels. Why I picked TRD Offroad wheels even for my Limited when I upgrade to 285/70R17 tires.

    Though I don't have personal experience, If you are thinking of buying new TRD Pro wheels may be also have a look at FN wheels FX Pro. They look like TRD Pro wheels but they are 17x8 wheels which meets the specs to run bigger tires.

    Actually, the 7" Pro wheels wouldn't be detrimental in my case. I've currently got 265's, and my next tires will be 255's. So 7" or 7.5" will work.

    Weather warmed up a little: installing a behind-the-seat Molle storage system and minor repairs (driving lights need to be tightened, cleaning out the back & re-organizing, etc.)=if weather stays warm(er), might head to the range to try out some new Rugers.
    Edit: Installing altimeter (I have a heart condition and altitude is important to monitor!)

    OK, not technically anything I really did but the window sticker showed up on the website today (so I printed it out). Last week I went through the ordeal of asking the dealer to swap tires before I pick it up. Wanted Toyo AT3's in 275/70 but they're backordered so I told them to go with stock size (but in an LT)....

    Hoping to have it next week...but if not, no big deal. Put the deposit down mid-October (same day I pulled back my deposit on a Bronco...order banks for Broncos still not open, dealers can order 'dealer stock' but it's limited to lower trim levels and no Sasquatch...I was gonna get a WildTrak...4Runner saving me about $15k)

    Have you considered asking your PCP to write you a prescription for Acetazolamide? I live at 6k feet elevation, and often go up to 14k for a drive and a hike (Pike's Peak). I asked my doc to prescribe me Acetazolamide in both 125mg (you take it prophylactically a couple days before you head to elevation), and also some 500mg pills for emergencies. No more headaches and dizziness at 14,100'. :D

    My issue isn't dizziness and headaches, it's breathing. I can do a drive or visit my daughter in Flag (6900')

    Past 2 days, I put these little things on my outside mirrors. I'm still on the fence about these. I like the idea of them. They are universal fit. They're supposed to help keep rain off mirrors. It's not 100% but in rain yesterday, did a pretty decent job.

    And yesterday I replaced the clear 3rd brake light with a dark tinted one.

    I never understood the fascination with darkening/smoking/tinting brake light housings.

    :D:p

    Hahaha! HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema), HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema), and altitude sickness in general have little to do with age, as far as I know. The last time I was up on Pike's Peak I saw a boy about 12-years-old with altitude sickness, and his middle aged (and out of shape) mother was doing just fine. I know sometimes when I go up to elevation I get headaches, and the next week I can go and nothing. It seems to be quite random. A few years back I went on a group ride with some of my motorcycle buddies from California up Pikes Peak, and out of 7 of us, one guy got it, and he was the most physically fit of all of us. When our scout troop would climb Mt. Whitney (14,505'), at least a couple kids in the group would get it. So again, it seems to be random, at least in my experience.

    Gotcha! I have been skiing and mountain biking out west and the altitude definitely affects some people differently! Great to hear that you are enjoying the outdoors!

    I mean, I get it, it goes along with the blackout look. I think it looks good and have thought about it in the past on several vehicles but... cost and practcality stopped me from pulling the trigger. To each their own - its a cosmetic upgrade more than practical upgrade unless I'm missing something.

    It's completely cosmetic. Amazon price was right. Having said that, I was just curious what the local tint shop would charge for tinting the rear tail lights. Suffice it to say, sticker shock hit me real quick. I was think somewhere between $75-100.

    Nah.

    $250. :mad:

    I said, "Thank you," and hung up.

    I can’t stand the silver that shows up when not in use. Granted, it’s not ideal (or even illegal) to reduce the brightness of them. For me I want it to be darker but keep the same brightness for driving and braking.

    HikeIt X9 installed, and it vaporized my skepticism. Found out that the remapped throttle response directs Mission Control greater than just a heavy foot can. Totally improves the driving feel (no added power; just feel of course). Still experimenting with settings. HI 9 is ludicrous; great acceleration but too touchy in normal driving. Auto is good for now. Any suggestions on settings?

    That seems a bit high. How are they tinting them? I don't think a film would hold up for long.

    I had the Dasaita unit previously. I grew tired of the issues with it, so I switched to the Pioneer DMH-WT7600NEX. I originally used the Metra mount. The trim piece would not fit as tight to the dash as I would have liked and the mount being plastic, was flimsy. I decided to try using the factory metal mount to see if it would work. It worked without needing any modifications. The unit sits farther into the dash. There is a trim piece which slides over the mounting area for the screen after it has been attached. This piece will not fit now. There isn’t enough space between the screen and dash surround for it to slide in. It doesn’t bother me. So far I have no complaints with the performance of it.DF04F6FF-70B4-4FEA-BF77-C762B2580251.jpg

    Good question. But considering they are the ONLY tint shop in town, they can sorta get away with it. Other shops are nearby, but have drive a short piece.

    OAN:

    Got my Cali Raised LED grille lights in. Choose the dark amber ones. Pretty straight forward install.

    I'm just curious why there is no flashing 3rd brake light aftermarket for 5th gen. Is it illegal to have flashing 3rd brake light?

    I've had my Rav4 rear ended while I was at a red light completely stopped. May be if I had a flashing brake light may be I could have pressed the brake again to flash the driver to show that the traffic is stopped for the red light?
