    Did you look into "super charging" those pogos? Or even yours when you finally get them?

    Yep, they pretty much recommended I visit them. Adding 1 AAL would max out the little clips holding the springs together and would only give me 1" at most. Any more than that and its basically down to rebuilding the whole pack, either with bigger clips and more AALs, new thicker main leaf, or just new pack all together

    I'm going with a company I found on Instagram. The fab shop that did your bumper do they do the same hybrid bumper but keep factory fogs cause I want to put demon eye/halos with color change in the fogs and heads... They quoted me 1 grand for full assembled head lights and fogs with demon eyes color change and halos color change so basically 500 for the fogs and 500 for the head lights (important note they're sending me completed ones I'm not shipping them does that price sound about right?)

    That sounds very cheap. I paid 1200 just for my retrofitted headlights.

    The Bruteforce Fab Hybrid bumper can be made to include slots to install aftermarket fogs like my rigids but you'd prolly need to ask him if he can make tabs for the stock fogs to mount to. His plate bumper does have factory fog cutouts. That price does seem super low considering parts alone for my retro were over $500. What company?

    I'll have to go check my insta, I can get it to you later today, he responds super fast to DM's super helpful guy... Really nice answered all of my likely "dumb" questions about halos and what not. Shoot him a DM on insta and see what he quotes you or ask him why so cheap for me would you?

    Hey stefen can you suggest a company that makes a good alternator... Was having trouble starting truck and come to find out the voltage regulator is going out on the alternator, have tow package so it's like a 130 amp, do you know the largest alt I can run without having to clear any space?

    Call up vatozone and see if they carry a higher output ALT?

    Yes there are TONS of options for hi-output alternators for our truck. I got one made for my Civic from @BamaToy1997 on here and he will hook you up. Great guy and very professional. He has everything you need when it comes to getting more power out of your electrical system. Just send him a PM.

    He also has a page on here that talks about his alternator options and pricing. Remember, hi-output = lots of money. Once you break the 200amp mark it really starts to jump in price.

    As for how much amps you can get, I've seen a 400amp alternator for the Tacoma that required a different mounting bracket but fits. 320amps will fit int he stock location all day long.

    Also if you are going to go big with the alternator you should swap out your wire and upgrade it to at least 4g or larger. If you do a 320amp I'd suggest 0g wire upgrade and get good wire.

    Alright thank you! I like the "our truck" btw XD. I don't have any need for something to high, I'm going to get a decent sub/amp but nothing crazy as far as wattage goes, and maybe a light bar and some 2x2 cubes, and some bed lights, do you think a 200 amp alt is sufficient enough?
