    Lol that's funny. I got a good story on myself that beats it tho. We need a thread where everybody has to tell an embarrassing story about working on a Tacoma.

    ...tire hits the middle of the hose at full lock if I just let it hang loose. I just need to tie it back to the frame and i should be ok. I got sooo much lift right now. I prolly need to dial it back a bit.

    Snap-in wheel caps are cheap on ebay.

    Ah weird. Do your UCAs clear the hose at full droop? I didn't have much room to push my reservoirs forward anyway because of my bumper. You can see in that last pic they almost butt up right against it. Mine were actually set perfectly right out of the box, thank god haha.

    You should share the story anyway!

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    Crank the coilovers down man. Find a long steel drift that fits and start cranking. Or buy the ads spanner wrench. You CVS will thank you. Put it at 2" or so. Then when the bumper goes on and such. Crank em back up to retain 2" or so.

    Utilize one of the best features of them man!

    Pick up a spanner wrench. You might even be able to go to some offroad place and they can lower it for you. Definitely wouldn't run around with 3.5"

    Just an FYI, it's against AR state law to have tint on the windshield, save for non-reflective tint on the top 5" of it.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    There's something about the white walls and the low stature that's just... right

    Nice truck

    I don't get it. What exactly do you need privacy for? It's not as if you're showering in your cab, right?
