Your favorite mod (one mod. No lists)

[Kiwi01]

I did 2 mods that have worked well for me ... went from 20's to 18's w/ Bridgestone Dueler Ascents and the Rear Shelf ... great way to store stuff out of the way ... tow straps, umbrella, dog towels, etc.

How do the Dueler’s do in the snow/ice conditions?

I’m still trying to find a good inflation pressure that maximizes ride comfort, and fuel efficiency. I started at 36 PSI. Currently at 35 PSI. 34 to follow. Any suggestions?

 

[Kiwi01]

I try to keep them at 34 psi for hwy and around town, they will go up to 36-38 after driving for a while ... in the mtns (~30% of the time I drop to 30-32 ... mostly because of the temp drop overnight) My fuel economy continues to go up, Im at 8500 miles, I avg ~21 mpg and have gotten as high as 30 and as low as 12. I've found the Ascents work well in the snow, although I have not had them in anything really deep (>12 in). On a couple of spring trips I went through 6-8 in of old snow on forest service roads with no problem. I have not experienced much ice yet, so I won't comment.

It's been a couple of years since we've had our LCs more or less and we have done a few things to our rides.

So my question is what is your favorite mod so far?
No lists ranking things, choose one, and no speculation on what would be nice.
Part of it is for you having used this mod and seeing what your experience is with it.

I have thought about this and have my list and still thinking of my favorite, tough call.

I'm going on a 3 hour drive to decide on mine and post it later.

Box stock, tires are the only thing you need to do. Toyota already nailed everything else!

This is mostly what I wanted to be sure of. If they work well for me in snow and ice, I will be selling my extra set of five 18” OEM wheels with Michelin Ice tires, which are an excellent riding tire and very quiet. But in the mean time, I search for the best inflation pressure..

Has to be my speaker and amp upgrades. They affect every single experience I have in the vehicle.

The LC looks great but the horn is embarrassing so the horn upgrade is my fav - i honk a lot since my MR Microphone died.

Built in Noco Tender. When parked for more than a week, just hang out cord and plug into extension.

Whenever I see this thread title I always think it’s asking a very different question

Definitely a BamBeds shelf! It levels out the back when the rear seats are folded (better for carrying loads and also for sleeping in the back). And three of these containers fit exactly underneath for lots of small storage.

The link takes me to some stackable plastic boxes.

The shelf in question (boredom can confirm): https://bambeds.com/products/bambed...3bW7XN7XR2Xt00bfGntfn4s0xyIDw5aMl7GgrMgMcj-DN

That completes the picture. Hell yeah. Thats awesome guys.
And in hindsight I missed the end of that original message. Thats what happens when you LC while attending a pointless end of the week work meeting.

Hell ya. Me too man. I have to have tunes.

The Carista EVO and its associated software package has helped silence many of the annoying alarms and customize other options.

Are you talking about the "leveling platform" or the "BamBed"?

Edit: I bought the storage containers and they do indeed fit nicely below the lower profile leveling platform. In fact all 6 fit underneath arranged 3 X 2.

Where did you get that shelf?

But how many people know what a MR Microphone is? My guess is not many. That commercial is a classic for sure!!
