What did you do to your RHO Today?

I installed my Amazon knock-off Molle panels. $150 for the 4 panels and about $15 for some black stainless hardware instead of using the cheap rusto stuff included in the Molle kit. I also shoved some 1" rubber spacers behind the panels as an anti-rattle measure. I'm pleased with the quality of the panels. They were eating up my grinding wheel some when I cut out the hole for the bed outlet.

Cool, do you have a link for those bed tie down bars as well?

Those are OEM with the bed utility pkg

For anyone who doesn't know, the Toyota tie-down cleats work with the black bed rails also. I have both on my truck (kept the cleats from my Tacoma when it got totaled), and I prefer the Toyota cleats. They have a larger loop, and an easier-to-work-with tightening nut. I don't have any readily available pictures of the two, but if anyone is interested I can go take a few.

Ceramic coating and b pillar covers

Looks great, but I think you're going to regret the shiny B pillars. One, the OEM pillars are great at "not showing" fingerprints. Two, you'll see every scratch from washing/drying your truck. My wife has a Lincoln Navigator with shiny B pillar covers, and there are circular swirls all over them.

Gave it a quick wash after yesterdays drive to family’s house. Truck performed very well on a 480 mile trip. Ended with 15.9 Average MPG.

Installed my Diode Dynamics reverse light kit. Drilled out the brackets to fit on the tow hook bolt. Damn things won't light up though. Ugh. I've got 13.5v constant on the 7 pin connector on the bumper. Tomorrow is another day.

Did you use a trailer wiring harness, or did you tap directly into a wire?

Used their included plug n play harness

Ok then that rules out a loose wire tap. Now the next question is did you confirm the pin-out of the trailer harness to your lights? Like, can you confirm voltage on the harness plug (where it joins to your new lights) when the truck is in reverse?

Haven't yet. I was alone today. Buddy coming over to help me in the morning so I can get under there with the truck in reverse and check for juice.

Haven’t seen that one. I have the Diode Dynamics C1R+ on my hitch, along with the Diode Dynamics SSC1 Pro reverse lights on the tow hooks.

Meh, just keep the parking brake on and climb under there - what’s the worst that could happen???
A few weeks ago, my wife and daughter went out of town so I told them I was going to use the time alone to install my new driveshaft. My daughter was worried about me, since I would have to put it on jack stands and climb under there while I was alone.
My wife, on the other hand, was more concerned about how bad it would smell if she opened the garage and I had been rotting in there for a few days.

That sounds a lot like my wife. I do shall we say NON-OSHA approved stuff alot but with this thing and it's gremlins I just don't trust the elec E brake enough. Mostly though it was 95 deg and 100% humidity here yesterday so the brake was a convenient excuse.

Black lug nuts and window visors

Which lugs did you get? I'm having difficulty finding the exact OEM size.
