    I just installed the Toytec 3" spacers and 2" AAL on my truck. I am a little annoyed cos I paid for overnight shipping only to realize after the box showed up that Toytec is 4 miles away from my house... LOL

    The install was a piece of cake. I took my truck to a local DIY auto repair shop here in CO. They told me they will quote 8 hours to do the lift kit install I was out of there in 3 hours. The ASE mechanic was like holly sh!t dude that was fast. I wanted to tell him that it wasn't me that was fast it was him thats ripping people off... LOL But they were awesome non the less....

    Well I didn't hit a poll but if its only the bumper a new factory one with paint and install will run ya around $800. Girl rear ended me but got my side panel and taillight too. I baby mine to but shit happens. Free Bruteforce bumper from her insurance for me. Total cost of what she did to mine was $2,850, but Im happy w a new plate bumper :)

    Where did that switch come from ? Looks long enough to possibly work as a rear door switch on my old FJ40....

    I have the same head unit. You can go into the settings and change the back-lit LEDs to an orange that matches the factory dash lighting perfectly.

    Nope, haven't done it yet but I need to. Plugs are on the way so I'll have to hunt those down here shortly.

    Yeah just had my 25K done so I'm going to go ahead and do them a bit early at 30K so I can keep them on the same maintenance cycle.

    What plugs seem to be the best?? I'm not going with the factory plugs.

    Yeah, I'm at 32k and I assume the s/c wasn't added when the truck was brand new so I may have a little (or a lot of) fudge room but I'm going to go ahead and get them done now and have plugs and a smaller pulley on the way.

    Are you supercharged?

    Edit: I just clicked your build page and it looks like you're not supercharged so I don't know which plugs would be best for you but I'm sure someone will be able to help you or a search should yield the results you desire.

    Just got my steps delivered. No hardware. Can anyone tell me the size bolts I need?

    I believe they're M8, but what pitch? How long?
