I just got my two T3 barrels back from Kampfeld.
5/8x24 and they look fantastic.
Edit: Both cut to 20".... One was a 22" 7-08 and the other was a 24" 300WSM.

Most Toyota drivers are looking to add really obvious accessories, anyway.
My 2015 F150 XLT has tow hooks.
It will turn 160k on this tank of gas....3.5 Ecoboost.
