    Lol I definitely just moved the needle a little bit. I am within 1-2 mph when I was off by 3-4 mph before.

    You can see I am on the high side of the 0 marker. I just bumped it up a little bit. I know it's not 100% but or the right way to do it, but it's better than it was before.

    BTW, what led do you use for the buttons? I want to change my fog, rsca, rr diff lock, ect buttons.

    when you open the dash back up again to readjust it, make sure that theres no power to the needles (cluster unplugged) ive had 1 person tell me that the needle stopped working after they where messing with them with the dash plugged in

    (just to play it safe)

    when i get to my home computer ill post the link for those leds :thumbsup:

    VVVV What he posted...dealer doesnt do anything :anonymous: lol

    Took it to the dealer for other reasons and got a phone call that the right rear spring set needed replaced. Thank God for my warranty. Stock 2011 TRD Off-Road is $761.00. That's total crap. As we all know stock suspension isn't the greatest. Once warranty is up: Bilstein.

    I have a similar setup with a synthetic line. It rode okay but sat too high and didn't have any down travel. I added some heavy skids and it's much better.

    I installed some of Jumper's LED's. I got the Red Dome Light and 2-White Map Light interior set.

    These are great! I like the Red Dome light since I do telescope viewing and want the red light so that it doesn't mess up my night vision. I got the White map Light LED's for when I need to actually see something real well.

    Sorry for the poor picture quality...

    It's a Katzskin kit. Had it installed at Auto Coach Restylers in Orange, Ca. Cannot recommend them highly enough. They had the set installed in less than 3 hours. Nicest guys and their work is top notch. The owner of the place loves Tacomas.

    I built a new bumper and tried something new with the headlight guards. They have a sharper angle than other bumpers. Not sure how I like it yet. Let me know what you guys think. IMAG0623.jpg IMAG0624.jpg IMAG0625.jpg

    If you are interested in the bumper you can check out the thread here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/05-15-plate-bumpers.373333/

    I really like it man. Very easy to use, very clean bends. I bought it to make sliders. Been making some for some members in my area. I'm using it manually right now which makes bending 1.75" diameter .120 wall tube a little bit of a work out but not too bad. Been thinking about getting a hydraulic ram for it but that's kinda expensive haha.
