    why in the world would you want to cut your truck if adding more lift would let you fit the tires you want and perhaps give you more travel in some cases as well

    Lower COG for wheeling. The lower the better.

    i guess but i would think you'd be that much better to simply remove the body panels and either replace with glass or frame tubing that way you reduce the upper weight and increasing/lowering your cog even more.

    different school of thought i guess and i respect your opinions . to put it in erspective i remember my first encounter with a 4wd truck was when my buddies dad bought a '79 f350 with a 460 stock then on went the lift and 44's now that was a truck and didn't care about driving over rocks hell it pretty damn near drove over everything. point being it's all in what you want to do with your truck as a body man for 30 years i just have a problem cutting panels for whatever

    The center caps have metal clips and are for my style wheels. I haven't done any research to see if they fit your type wheel. As far as the wheels go, they hit the brake caliper. They might work with spacers. I've decided to sell them and go a different route. Here's some pictures of the caps.

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    Agreed. I have the same problem, I only use OE blades now and the people at the dealership said others have told them the same thing before

    Your friend is ugly.

    Are they the old school trusses type blade? I also think the original stock blades I had worked the best.

    I went from Rain-X to Bosch to Trico. So far, I like the Tricos more.
