    I just gave two full turns on the driver side to level out the taco lean. I'm going to let the suspension settle and just everything again and then align the truck

    How do you have the volt gauges wired up so they arent reading the alternator output? Or do they only measure the actual battery voltage when the engine isnt running?

    How's the reception? I listen to the radio a lot while commuting at work, I want a shorter antenna but don't want to loose any reception.

    There was a slightly noticeable drop in reception @ my home location, but my area is notorious for less than good reception. Seems good on the highway for the one station that I regularly listen to (sports talk). But I mostly listen to iHeart radio off my iphone bluetooth.

    I'd say if reception in your area is generally good than you should be fine with this antenna.

    "Raptor light" mod done last night. It's impossible to get a good picture. It looks a lot different in person.

    The starter voltmeter will always read alternator output unless the truck is not running. The voltmeter for each battery will read will read alternator output unless the truck is not running or the ML-ACR switch is turned off to disconnect batteries.

    Took my tacoma on a 1200 mile round trip to a football game in Golden Colorado yesterday. Lots of cool tacomas around there.
