Thanks! What's your average efficiency with the Nittos and 2 inch level? I put ridge grapplers on my previous R1T, went from 2.4 to 2.1 miles per kW.

The Lariat's rear fold down armrest is the only issue for takeoffs . Had that taken out by upolsrtry shop.for my XLT retrofit. Still a spiffyn deal !

Same, by far it's the best bang for your buck upgrade out there. If your willing to do the work.

Do your heated seats still work well? Noticed the backing on the lariat seat covers are a bit different from the cloth since they are set up for ventilation. I’m getting ready to install my leather interior.

They work great, super hot on the highest setting. Good luck with your install. If your not going to keep your old covers I recommend cutting the plastic strips off when removing them. It will save your cushion retainer clips from breaking and speed up the process.

Just found this thread, but I’m about 2/3 of the way into a very similar build on my 23 Pro ER. Fantastic work!!

I’m not sure about changing the seats, honestly, I don’t mind the vinyl so I’m on the fence. But the katzkin leather looks like a good option, so maybe eventually. Also, I love the pro wheels, so probably won’t change those but love the complete look of yours

Thanks! I would go for the upgrades that are most important to you. The cosmetics are in the eye of the beholder. I've since swapped the lariat wheels for aftermarket, but kept them in case I want to go back to a stock look.

Nice work! I am thinking about the rear view mirror upgrade, I see they offer one with homelink which is an option I miss.
But they have a warning about using with vechiles with forward facing cameras if it’s on that bracket for the mirror. I haven’t looked at mine yet but how was the install on your rearview setup?
