    With little weight they will be great. I had probably 300 pounds up front.

    I can tell you on my truck that the rear end with the ome leaf pack and 5100s it's great I love it, not so much the front end but I haven't got to take off the sway bar yet.. Front ome 881 springs and 5100 shocks seem a little stiff to me...but again I haven't yanked the sway bar yet.

    Looking at ordering a bug deflector. Wanted a clear one but the Westin/Wade one is discontinued. I do not like the look of bug deflectors so I was thinking of color matching one if I did. Has anyone color matched theirs?

    Why do you want a bug deflector if you dont Like look of them? Their hardly functional. If you want chip protection you can spray on a clear rubber coating such as plasti dip glossifier or purpose built stuff, vinyl wrap is also a option.

    Ah they don't really help against bugs? I make a 500 mile round trip once a month and cleaning off the bug splatter sucks. Don't expect it to help avoid rocks from windshield but for the bugs I would rather have function over looks but would like a happy medium. For $30 I might as well try

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Nope, I took mine off because I'm pretty sure it was actually directing things be it rocks or bugs even closer to my line of sight. Just a stupid piece of plastic for dealers to upsell. That said if you want it I'll send it to you for the cost of shipping. I only left it on for so long because it helped me pick my truck out of a crowd, but with the bumper I took it off.

    I removed mine cause the fasteners were breaking and it was starting to wiggle around a bit. Functionally, my hood has zero chips thanks to the shield. I think you're gonna end up with windshield stars no matter what.

    Brought home a one owner, 227k miles '02 double cab 4WD in beautiful condition on Saturday. Thought it needed a flexplate but didn't... scored there. Had the timing belt and water pump done yesterday and got cornholed. What's the most anyone has ever paid? I bet I can beat you by $200. :-|

    New tires are getting put on right now.

    Taco is to replace a Sprinter that I've sold to downsize.
