Which kit? Looks great bud.

Did you buy the kit there? If not, how much do shops normally charge to install these if you don't mind sharing?

The install charges always catch me off guard... I expected it to cost around 100 bucks to have a shop hookup my led bar.... Cost 250.. Nearly what i paid for the light itself. So now i look into install costs before costs of the item i want installed Haha!

 

Is that the spacer kit that everyone is saying not to put on. Looks good though.

 

At the dealer for 5000 service (at 3900 miles.) Service only includes tire rotation which I am declining; I have swapped out tires/wheels and defer to the tire shop who will also balance. Leaving the truck for inspection of tripometer which has arbitrarily reset to zero since new. Waiting for shuttle to take me home...

 

Mine goes in to service tomorrow to check Automatic Transmission Fluid level and trip meter resetting back to zero. I'm going to ask to have the zerk fittings inspected for grease

 

Should be on the drive shafts instead of the drive axle, that would make your truck solid axle with greasable u-joints at the wheels. And if you have that, I'm gonna be pissed cuz I have yet to find a solid axle '16 Taco for sale. I only found the 5 on my truck's DRIVESHAFT u-joints.

 

In my opinion avoid the neoprene covers and go leather. The reason being is I find neoprene (wet okole/etc) make me sweat even more, even in the winter time. Neoprene is a water proof material that does not breath at all. It's used for insulation in scuba diving/surfing/etc. Don't get me wrong I loved my wet okole covers but they didn't last with the repeated getting in and out, work/etc. Plus they took on a god awful stench after you sweated in them repeatedly from working out, mountain biking, diving etc. They had to be removed and mirazyme or sink the stink used and left in the sun to kill the bacteria, roughly once a month. This was when I lived full time in AZ. Was a royal pain in the ass to keep clean. Even if you placed a towel on them. And if they got wet it took forever to dry out.


Leather, you just don't seem to get those issues or they are reduced in severity. They are easy to clean (saddle soap)you can wipe them dry, treat them (obenaufs/etc) and they generally look a lot better/classier. The clazzios I believe are waterproof as well might be water resistant. But who gets into their brand new vehicle soaking wet or covered in mud? I make people strip down and out a towel on the seat if we are out doing a bunch of activities as I want the truck to be clean. Sure I use it for outdoor activities/etc but I still take care of my gear and want it to last.

There are other options as well. I believe you can get carhart material covered from cabellas and a few other sources that might be a bit heavier duty. They just do not have that polished look to them.

Anyways that's my two sense on covers.

 

the leveling kit is a Rough Country 745n2. i found it on a enternet auction payed 195 canadain.the install was done by a friend payed 180. i love it

 

LOOK WHAT CAME IN!
Well I just spoke with the dealership and was told my truck should be here mid May....so much excite. Already been ordering some goodies which arrived last week. Needed to post since the wait is killing me. Will repost again once installed.
Method Standard 17x8.5", Nitto Trail MT's with Muteki lugnuts.
Fox 2.5 level 2 lift w/ 3 leaf aal from headstrong.
Total Chaos uca's.

 

Not saying that it will be me but...What's your address? Do you have an alarm? Are there any vicious pets inside? And if you were in a foot race do you think you could out run me with my hands full?

 

I'm trying to look but I don't see any pictures....

 

Added some matte black vinyl to the sides! And some tiger stripes on the sharkfin (why? no idea. Co-corker suggested it and I said oh sure what the hell)

 

What makes it the fly fishing edition?

 

Following. But I'm assuming that it would be the driver (and maybe some passengers!). I would love this on my/my dads trucks. where did you get it!?

 

Thank you for taking the time to give your opinion on this. Been looking at either the clazzio vs wet okole (never had either) and this def points me more toward the clazzio. I'm also one who jumps in the truck pretty sweaty after working out almost daily.

 

My guess it's a "7"

 

It's just my hobby. My plates say FLYFSHR on them too. Just a custom touch besides the same old TRD sticker.

 

I carry a fleece throw from Walmart in my truck for when I feel sweat on my back. Easy to toss them wash also. (Poor man has poor ways.)

I still do the same with covers. Usually it's just a towel/Sweater/etc or a pair of jogging pants that I can throw on after getting out of my muddy clothes from mountain biking/gym/etc. It doesn't protect against everything but sure as hell goes a long way to keeping the cab a lot cleaner and hygenic. Nothing like jumping in the seat of a truck and a cloud of dust/smells emit from the seats, oh how I love using the fleet vehicles for work. I think I'm the only person who cleans them.

Sorry off topic there.
