    Just had my Bilstein 5100's installed at Desert Rat off road. In at 8am and out at 1030 just as promised and a great price too. See Chris. This is where I am going from now on other than Big Two Toyota. It's awesome having the truck level now. Going back for the rear to be done in a couple of weeks.

    For people who live in "da valley" also known as the Phoenix sinkhole, Arizona exists only in the Phoenix metro area.

    Just for those who haven't been exposed to that part of the Arizona culture.

    And never mind that they are headquartered in Tucson.

    I called the guys at Cave creek and Bell yesterday... So far, I'm not impressed. I was looking for pricing on a 3" lift and a bed rug liner. The guy told me the liner is only available as a mat style and that they don't have the full liner for the 2014 Tacoma 5' bed. Now I know and so do all of you that the Liner is available. This has already left a sour taste in my mouth.

    Liner Part number BRY13DCK

    Honestly I had no idea there was carpet for the bed of the truck available. I also don't see why anyone would ever want such a thing...

    My first truck I put in bench seats w/storage, then foamed all of it and put carpet on top. It was very comfortable. I still hauled stuff I'd just vacuum out the carpet when I was done. I had a camper shell on it so it didn't get wet and moldy. I spent a lot of time camping so it was handy.

    We don't all use our trucks to go mudding :)
    In my last truck I had the bed rug to protect the items I carried in it. I could lay items on it's surface and it would be protected. (Large RC Aircraft worth several thousand dollars)

    Also the bed rug is SOOooo nice on the knees. It also is easy to sleep on.

    Never had a mold issue but then it never really got wet since I had a shell.

    The bed rugs are easy to keep clean as well. I carried several ton loads of gravel and the rug cleaned right up with sweeping and a vacuum.
