    i honestly really like them! my truck came with these methods, they arent my first choice by any means, but other stuff took priority over rims, im 99% sure once these km2s wear out im going to change rims and go with a 16"

    Firestone confirmed the front end looks good to go, and they are blaming the vibes on a bad balance job, the thing is.. I've had these vibes for the entire time I've owned the truck. I've gotten the tires balanced a few times and it doesn't seem to help.. So I got talking to the guy at Firestone and he's saying that aftermarket wheels could be the culprit.. But it seems like everyone has after market rims on there trucks?! WTF!!!!

    He had a Tacoma and a tundra both with aftermarket rims Nd he said they started getting vibes after changing from the stock rims. It's the only thing i haven't changed in my truck.. The po put them on.. I've never heard of aftermarket rims causing vibes, I had a set on my old Tacoma and never had vibes. Lol

    I'm late but just so you know you won't be able to runn bales with dual swing out.

    Keep in mind that the tail gate will be down and sticks out probably over half of what the swingout length would be on duals. Which means your two tables would be like 8" wide...MAYBE.

    If you want a table. Go single. My table barely holds my grill as it is and it's as large as you can make it

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    They shouldn't be the problem, especially not all of them. But in your specific case you could have a bend or casting flaw on one. I would have someone else look at your front end. Perhaps any other place than Firestone. I've never been to a Firestone where I didn't feel like the smartest guy in the room and that's not a good thing when they're the ones doing the work. The worst part is I only bring them simple stuff I can't do at home like alignments and balancing.

    Dang man, didn't even think of it that way, thanks for the insight! Any idea on a hinge to use? I was eye balling the comp 4x4 ones they seem pretty beefy..

    The double sheer ones would be great. I used the large heavy duty single sheer for mikes. Got it from Eric at relentless.

    I just use the lifetime alignment at Firestone I don't trust them as far as I can throw them haha I was just curious if this guy was on to something, I'm so stumped with this vibe thing I'm ready to try anything at this point, I've taken it to 4 different shops now! And all of them came back the same... Plus I've personally shaken down the front end multiple times..

    I'm thinking if maybe making some sort of mount coming off the bumper to use the top style spindle mounts.. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go about utilizing my trail gear bumper,
