    I like the rear bumper, it’d be cool if the bars were flat and the bedsides cut, for high clearance.


    Still like the looks of it now, my bedside is just torn...

    Thanks, bookmarked for future purchase. Just replace the front pads and rotors not too long ago. Don't want to blow more money when its not necessary yet.

    Just finish installing the powder coated skid plate. Must say it looks cleaner down there. I just feel bad for the alignment shop when they have to get to the camber bolts on the lca though. hahaha.

    The knuckles that I pulled off the tacoma had abs holes but no abs sensors, is there something I can use to block them? I saw that toyota had abs cap plugs for the rear axle, is there something similar for the fronts?

    I can't take all the credit, going off the basics of the @Box Rocket design

    But yeah would look good with a high clearance set up.

    I'm going to pull my throttle body to clean it this week sometime. What is the expert consensus on replacing the Throttle Position Sensor?

    262,000 miles on original sensor. Is the TPS one that I should just leave alone until it throws a code? Or would you replace it while I'm cleaning the throttle body?

    I haven't tried them... yet.

    But I'm planning on trying them. Just haven't gotten around to ordering them.

    I like how simple it is. He’s not very far from me and I have family going that way all the time. Maybe if I tag @Box Rocket enough he’ll give in.



    Or block me

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Yeah I've painted my rear hubs before, didn't last long. I don't think I prepped though, probably would be fine if you used a good primer.
