    How is the ride with that lift? I'm in the air on doing the same lift or just the 5100s for a while.

    The ride is much better than stock. Handles much better, but also a lot more forgiving and not as jarring as stock. I also don't have any vibrations which is nice. I will caveat my statement by saying I have not had an alignment yet. I am getting one on Saturday, was waiting for things to settle. I definitely think UCAs will be in order later this year.

    Thanks! I went with 884's because it keeps it a mellow 2" and I will likely not be running a heavier bumper. I also wanted to the option to not have to purchase UCAs if I didn't have to.

    I have been meaning to take measurements. I will try and get some measurements to compare with how it sat stock.

    I don't think you can go wrong either way. I think what it comes down to is the ride and feel with either the 884s or 885s will be a vast improvement over stock. It is well worth the coin and I wish I would have done this much sooner as I was debating this for over a year.

    So you set them on 0" notch and added 884's? I like the slight rake to it. The height I am probably going to set my 6112's at with the Icon aal!

    Yeah I think I am going to have to do the same. I am just way too OCD not to. I went on a big spending spree with the truck and gotta get back in my ultra-saving habits for a bit then I pick some up.

    Look up "filling the holes" or something like that. There may be a link in the OP of my build thread.

    I used new flare clips and ground off the outside clip, then color match.

    I'm going to try and add the finished clips to my product lineup, just have to find a supplier willing to make a new mold for me.

    Hey guys! I'm pretty late to the party, but really glad I went MG over White! Today officially marks my 1-month ownership and I didn't waste any time with the mods! LOL...

    SCS SR8 Wheels on stock 265/70/16
    Powder coated black rear bumper
    TRD Pro smoked headlamps
    Color matched front grille (replaced chrome)

    That's pretty much all I want to do for now... maybe some 5100's for the front and I'm on the fence about plasti-dipping my badges. :)

    Y'all have some really nice rigs in this thread. I look forward to seeing more... :cool:

    Thanks man, I had a cap on my old ranger and hated it for both look and function. Unfortunately I knew I was gonna get one again based on the direction the Tacoma build was going but I think it looks sweet :cool:
