    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    That's a fair bit, how do you like the N2.0 shocks, when I was first researching lift parts about 5 years ago those had just hit the market, are they any good?

    I think all pro pre-cycles them so they don't have a "break in" time. I could be wrong though.

    I couldn't tell you man. I've never had icons or kings so I couldn't tell you if they're good or bad. They've held up fine the past year

    I used Rustoleum Undercoating and Rustoleum Rust Primer. I didn't sand down the frame since the primer sticks pretty well, hopefully the frame undercoating holds up. For the bed, I sanded everything down and sprayed anything I could reach. Then again, I'm in SC and we don't really have a "season" for snow/road salt. It happens twice every 10 years.

    Are there sliders cheaper than 4xinnovations? Looking to get those with the square main tube next week, but just curious. On a budget :p

    Pulled the bench and Swapped in a pair of bucket seats and center console. Only had to drill one hole per side!! Still on the hunt for the front section of the console. Donor truck was an AT.

    For installing my rear main seal (5vz) should I put grease on the inside, outside, both, or neither sides of the seal? What kind should I use if I should use some?

    Edit: Problem solved :)
