    I went with 20% all the way around, I know technically it won't pass the state INSP, but it's all in WHO you know, lol... Thankfully I am good for another year.

    And I have had to remove tint in the past when it passed for three years and the place that did it said "No more good ole boy, inspections, lol..."

    If I had a DC I would put 20% over the rears and leave the front at 20%, nice and private back there, lol...

    20% just looks good IMHO,

    Thanks,

    I am getting there,

    I thought I was closer to getting new tires but I haven't really worn em out yet,
    I still need to get by Discount Tire and see what they would offer me for em,

    Well I don't live in the land of dreams so over here you can have tint exceptions with a doctor's recommendation. I highly doubt sunglasses will protect your skin from the sun's UV rays :confused: If you only need something to help protect your eyes, then yes, sunglasses.

    Thanks man you done anything to your 13? I'm contemplating putting bilsteins in the front up 1.5" but afraid of messing up drive shaft or having vibrations

    That's a great looking truck bro,

    The wheels and tires look great!

    How did you handle the TPMS?

    Well folks, long story short,

    I traded, so now I have a 2013 RC 4x4 AT,

    gotta call and make my tint appt soon and tonight she will get the tool box, intermittent wiper switch and such installed.

    Just got done ordering my Salex organizers for console and glove box also.

    Not really, the buckets are just a bonus,

    I do not want to fight it out with Toyota about replacing my transmission,

    I have a long post in 2012 clutch noise thread,
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/4-cylinder/254190-2012-clutch-problems-3.html#post7384645

    Two national reference numbers and, Toyota says it's normal,
    Mechanic says it's not normal, I waited three weeks to test drive a 2013 MT and the noise is not there, Toyota says "Sorry" but every MT Tacoma may develope a noise like you have in 5th or 6th with the MT.

    And the dealer really helped me out, I got into the 2013 I wanted for less payment too.

    Thanks!

    The buckets are real nice, heck the new audio sudden is nice too!

    I realized on the test drive that I'm not going to win any drag races with this automatic, but it feels good just to put it in drive and kick back,

    I matsee an exhaust header and Tootrts intake manifold spacer in my future though,

    It seems first gear is geared awfully tall, hence the reason it's not a jackrabbit off the line,

    Around town and on the highway, just fine.

    Thanks, living in the mountains and having to travel to PA for family it can come in very handy,

    If I lived where it didn't snow I would have a nice slick 2WD Taco for sure.

    How much higher is the front than the rear or is it just the angle? Thought about just raising the front for now.

    Some bilsteins, OME 885's, and an AAL.
    Single cabs aren't very prone to driveline vibe issues. Due to us having a one piece drive shaft. Only thing you really need to be mindful of is alignment issues with going to high, and cv angles.

    Really? I was reading about reg cabs having vibe issues when I was searching about different lifts. That's why I'm kinda worried about lifting mine.
