    Morning all

    I have a pair of stock UCA's, rear shocks that seem blown with 1 inch blocks, and SR5 Shocks with a 1inch spacers (Gives you 2 inches) if anyone wants them. I am not shipping these and can meet near exit 607 on 10 or the bucees on 35. If I dont have anyone want these in a week I am taking them to the scrap yard.

    Yep! I've got too many things to buy for the Runner and the Cadillac to be spending $100 on getting my hair trimmed so i've been looking at alternatives. I'm considering just going to a barber shop and seeing if they will hook me up! My boyfriend pays $12 for a damn haircut!

    Considered moving there when we were getting out of SA. Too far of a commute to work for me though. Nice area.

    I would like to learn how to install them, do you think it would work on a 24v system?

    You would need a 24-12 converter, or transformer, what ever you call it. I don't see that being very expensive. Just keep the transformer in an easily accessible area where if it gets warm you don't have an issue.

    Install is really a matter of how clean you want the finished product. I can teach you how to do wiring if you want to, just let me know when. All you really need to wire up 12V accessories is one of these: https://www.amazon.com/ZIUMIER-Conv...8-1-spons&keywords=24v+to+12v+converter&psc=1 rated for whatever amperage you will need.

    I have been thinking about getting one of the adapters to hard wire my camera in the truck actually. I can take 12V power out of the overhead console or just run a hot wire up there and ground to the cab.

    Definitely.

    I have to wire an EGT, and lights. The EGT is huge. I think this truck is 12/24. with the starter being 24v, and everything else 12v.

    Just hook it to the back battery. They consume so little that it won't sulfate.

    Got a reminder why to avoid Facebook Tacoma pages (or I guess FB in general), sheesh.

    During the school semesters I grow my hair out so long that when I come home my mom will say "go get your hair cut right now and i'll pay for it" :anonymous:
