    Some people report rubbing on mudflaps and/or the front fender liner at stock height with 275's and Pro wheel offsets (+4). Adding a 2.75" lift in front with stock UCAs will pull your tires rearward in the wheel well........so you could be rubbing on your mudflap. No way to tell for certain unless you put everything on and try. A cheap solution to this is using a heat gun to remold your mudflap or take your front mudflap off completely. The downside is that handling is better when your tire is pushed further forward in your wheel well (higher caster number).

    The other option is to get UCAs, do the front fender liner mod, and push your caster up to 4 degrees. The benefits are better steering/road manners and no rub on the mudflap/body mount. The downside is the cost of the UCAs.

    Installed the ARB differential breather kit. Ran separate lines for the differential and the e-locker to the engine compartment on the passenger side, rather than connecting the two lines together at the axle. The ARB kit comes with enough hose to do two lines, but just barely. I read that there is plenty of extra hose, but not in my case. If I did it again, I’d cut the hose into two equal sections before starting. That way I’d know how much slack I had to play with. Overall an easy install.

    I think I remember others with that kit mentioning that sway bar relocation mounts are included with it. I'm not 100% certain though.

    Careful if you run that through car washes. It will cut through the mylar tape and right into the hood with the metal mounting brackets. The shield covers it but wanted you to know. I tossed mine and went with weather tech.

    Gave mine a wash and a ceramic boost wax... so that my current scratches will look there best before being introduced to new scratches this weekend.

    Heading out (northern Michigan) for a 4 day weekend of snow wheeling. At least we hope it will be snow wheeling... looks like some rain passed through the state today. All the snow down by us has melted away, hoping that’s not the case further north.

    All of them.
    Need a suggestion. Cost excluded arb single or arb dual?

    I previously ran a power tank in the Tacoma and while it’s definitely faster it’s not infinite and over time the cost outweighs the benefit. I most likely will not install a front locker as was in the Tacoma but if I do decide to I’m thinking an electronic locker for the front since the air locker constantly had air issues.

    Def the dual. It’s significantly faster than the single, and also 100% duty cycle; never needs cool downs in between tire fills. I used to have the dual with a 2 gallon tank in my jeep; even ran air tools off of it on the trail. Would someday like that setup again in my 4Runner (just using a viair portable at the moment; it’s tolerable, but way slower than what I was used to).

    Still curious what 12v power source you tapped for the switch illumination. Should be doing the install in a day or two. Once I can stay vertical for more then 20 minutes (stupid Kung Flu).

    No, it's molded to wrap over the hood. It has openings so water drains out. From what I've seen and read the AVS is one and the same as weathertech, although I've not seen it in person.
