    Highly recommend installing RAAM mat or similar sound deadener while you have the interior apart. Makes a huge difference in road noise, rattling/vibrations, and sound quality of your stereo.
    I'm pretty sure the RAAMaudio guy has a TW discount.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Figuring out things for upcoming stuff, that's about as specific as I can get.

    Great video man. Way better than that smaller trail one you posted a week or two ago where you showed yourself walking to get the camera. Lots of great angles and highlights and the drone footage definitely takes it over the edge. Awesome work. :thumbsup:

    You'll need the entire assembly. Just keep an eye out for junkyards or some guys on here. That's what I did

    so I'm looking at icon extended travel coilovers in the very distant future, apparently they are different from kings in that they have digressive valving so the ride is smoother at higher speeds but I'm wondering if they will be stiffer than my old man emu 881s I have on there now on the road. And would these be alright for things like hills and rocks and climbing in general? Im just looking for something with a lot more travel than ome, again in the distant future.

    Lots of dust and custom dents, Check Build
    Start reading up on the Mid Travel thread, as well as the Fox, Icon, King, ADS comparison thread.

    There's more differences than just digressive vs progressive.

    Also, a coilover with UCA will net you no more than 1" of additional travel over your OME setup.

    I like mine so far, smooth but firm around town. Buttery smooth on the dirt with plenty of flex to offer up. What spring rate are your OME? Also mind you the much larger 2.5" piston in the Icon has greater adjustability and control over the movement of the truck. So no matter what I imagine it would be pretty comfortable. But with your light front end I might consider 600# coils instead of the 650#. I am at the end of the range for the 650# now, if I wanted more lift without making things harsher I'd have to consider a longer coil or 700# coils. Any other questions... I have pics too I think.
