    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    I mounted mine in the exact same spot but I have a question. Where is your carpet under your cup holders? I just used industrial strength Velcro and stuck it to the carpet to keep it in place. No problems with it for 3 + years

    If it's 2" lift or more you're gonna want UCAs soon. I just had mine aligned with new tires this wknd and I have low caster with 5100s set at 1.75" Can't wait to have time to install my fresh set of LR UCAs. Caster & camber will both be better for it since you have to split the diff having only the oem adjusters. LR adds 1 degree of caster on one of the ball joint orientations in the UCA and camber is adjustable on them too with slotted nut. That way they can center oem adjusters, make sure st wheel is straight, set camber close as possible using slot in UCA then just microadjust the camber with oem adjusters.

    Although they work, ball joint style UCA's are not the appropriate application, uniballs are.

    OK, TC instead of LR.....I'm not 4wd so the articulation isn't an issue and the 5100s don't care.

    Installed my ICON OMEGA BYPASS 2.5 Adjustable Reb/Com Rear Shocks. Went over the truck for maintenance and did a test run in Gorman, CA.

    Absolutely love them as they're a Huge improvement over the Icon 2.5 Rear Shocks I had.

    yeah but you will have to go to a decal shop most likely. I purchased a similar design from 247 skins for only 50 bucks knowing they might not be high quality........i was right. Took them to a local place that did my tint for me and they modified them and made me some high quality ones.
