    Did you get the flux beam for the fogs also? I have Hids now and my lights quit flashing with remote unlocking/locking. Not sure if that had anything to do with it.

    I measured from the ground to my fender well and compared it against that stock white Taco. I'm 3" higher in the rear and 4" in the front. But that also includes my larger tires

    Ya the rears are tapered. I'll run what you said by my installer. Here's pics of it. All I know is that strut has 4 settings. I've just been running on one setting above factory height. would that have cause undue stress on the strut? I thought the whole point of those adjustable struts was to be able to adjust them. also, if I leave the spring spacer in and put the adjustable struts back in at just one setting above factory height, would that be better than taking out the spring spacer and raising the strut to its max height?IMG_0700.jpg IMG_0702.jpg IMG_0701.jpg

    You need @rrentrop's letters for those. They look great. He's got a thread for that around here somewhere...

    Used an impact on the top nut huh?

    Yeah you will have that if you don't hold the rod and loosen the nut.

    An unusually high amount of pinstriping.
    Here is are some pictures of where I put the bolts. I wanted them close to where the bed was reinforced. I trimmed the mat to fit the bed and used the leftover piece in the toolbox.

    Took my pup to the Vet to get his boosters, took out the Taco for its first doggy run, added some more patches to the dash cover and officially hit 566 miles on it...lol. Came home...wiped the slobber off the side of the truck..waxed it and then covered her again.

    those actually look really good when theyre derped, I think you just saved me from dropping $800 on new rims, gonna go the $6 dollar plastidip route instead, thank for posting this I haven't seen any sport rims blacked out, only the off roads.

    I was looking at that very same one earlier today. Does it auto dim with the factory mirror and are the homelink controls still accessible? That is if you have those features on the factory mirror.

    No need for auto dimming....windows are all re-tinted....homelink is the one option I opted out of.

    Anybody on here use rhino liner on their grill yet? I have a buddy who used it on his grill on his F-150, looked really good, a bit more gritty than plastidip but I haven't seen it on any tacomas yet?
