Did you go with the LT or the SL rated Baja Boss?

LT E rated. I have always ran E rated tires and never complained about ride quality.
6000lb curb weight on this whale as a starting point.

Drove down to Denver and back for the Zach Brown concert last night. Grace Potter opened. Great show.
Averaged 17mpg there and back without driving mostly in the left lane. Power loss and slight impact to handling is 100% acceptable with the extra rubber.
Tire rub was 100% on a small area of the front rear flaps, including in low height mode.
It does not really look like anything is missing without the flap, but I am thinking I can probably heat gun and bed it back far enough to continue running them with no rub. That would be preferable for controlling road junk
Rear rocker looks about the same as the front with the flap removed.

New door handles are here. Going to look great with the black tie theme we have going on this build. The factory chrome is a bit peeled on the handles.
Door cards removed just like every other toyota. Drivers was already missing a few clips so someone had been in there before.
Black LC handles are going to look great. Plug and play with the same functionality. They are a perfect color match to the rest of the black trim on the truck.
A bit of a pain since all 4 door cards have to come off. Good activity for a podcast and some scotch.
