    Jealous. That’s the exact molle panel setup I’m gonna do at some point. Why’s everything gotta be thousand dollar increments for cool mods? Haha

    You can get knock offs on Amazon for about $350. That’s what I ended up with and have no regrets. Nice finish, beefy, easy install, no rattles.

    I also installed the GMRS radio in the console, it is out of the way and looks much cleaner than having it out.

    Drove the SR5 to the gun range.....drove 'er home and decided to change the oil and filter. Installed my Fumoto drain valve......greased the driveshafts.....then decided to swap out the front diff fill and drain plugs for the Lexus ones that have the 14mm bolt head on 'em.

    Blacked out the chrome, swapped the stock floor liners for a set of Lasfit, and installed the S&B intake.

    For what it is worth, I have the Rago Molle panels and shelf. It does obstruct view. The amount of view obstructed depends on location of shelf and items on shelf.

    I guess ideally you load stuff on the shelf for longer trips that are predominantly highway or not overly crowded mountain roads?

    I set mine about eight inches from the rear hatch moulding. Gives me enough room for items I keep in the cab 100% of the time. I lowered the rear seat head rests. The obstruction is not terrible. You get used to it.

    Installed a pair of Meso Customs' Puddle Pods. They came without any instructions and the only thing I could find on the Meso website was a 30 page *.pdf for doing an incredibly complex install on a Tacoma. Found a much better video on Youtube (Thanks to member Durango Dave) and got them installed without too much trouble. 35 minutes for the first one, 20 minutes for the second. Very nice improvement for the puddle lights!

    Drain plug...Lexus#90341-24016 and Filler plug....Lexus#90341-18060

    Got them from an Ebay seller in Japan.....$10 for both with combined s/h. Had to message him but he shipped 'em both for one price. They came in Lexus packaging. Took about 2 1/2 weeks to get here but was much cheaper than any place I found on the web.

    Replaced my VLEDS passenger footwell light. They replaced it under warranty. While at it, cleaned up some of the wires from when I originally put them in.

    Other than that, drove in to Chili's to eat with fam.

    Mostly uneventful day.

    Yea, stock size. Haven't had much rain since I got them installed. I'll let ya know when we do. So far ride quality is excellent and they are balanced better than my factory ones were.
