    1. Does anybody know if there are any coils/springs that could give a 2" height and come in less than 580 lbs per inch?
    2. Also, this is a dumb question, but why are there no trucks which have completely removed the leaf springs, and have independent coil overs for the back wheels? You know, like the SUV's and cars.

    Is it beneficial to have mud flaps? I'm looking at installing some. The TRD has factory fender flares, correct?

    Nice truck! I had a shell on my 1st gen that was totaled a month ago. Got a new 3rd gen last week and picked up a Roll-N-Lock off Craigslist for CHEAP that I couldn’t pass up. I like it but man I want a shell!

    1 I don't think so
    And
    2 they don't make them for our trucks really because it's to expensive to have independent rear suspension be built into these truck. At least that's what I was told. Lol

    Looks awesome! I'd say do the letter inserts in white on the tailgate.
    And what a deal on the divider. I've been looking for one forever

    My cover is actually the Gator FX5 but the bakflip and gator covers are basically the same. I bought my AMP extender through Amazon and it says it doesn’t fit but it does. I also verified with a chart I found on amp website but if you type your year model into the product finder on their website it doesn’t list this model. The newer models are what it gives you, the ones with the 45 degree corners. I didn’t like those so I took a chance. It has plenty of clearance and looks great.

    Installed a Truxedo TruXtop on my 2017 Off Road double cab. Very happy with it.

    First post after getting my Tacoma last week! Today I installed the front plate mount from @ACEkraut to save from drilling the holes. Very sturdy and great solution to the front plate problem!

    Installed my pro grill right after.

    Awesome, thanks for the heads up! The covers do look identical. I been trying to figure out what would fit but wasn’t sure which way to go since I ran into an issue or two with my truck boxes.
