    Yes, they will fit. Suspension components do not differ from 2nd gen to 3rd gen. I have icons from a 2nd gen on my 3rd gen.

    Anyone having steering problems with Tacoma 2017 after installed a lift kit? I just install a lift kit 2" and a 1.25" spacers on my Taco with Falken 265/70R17 and I'm feeling the steering a little shaking.

    Did you replace the needle bearing? Highly recommended to swap with the ECGS bushing

    Yes, I'll have to take the spacers out or try a second alignment. Thanks.

    Its the wheel spacers had the same issue when i put 285 on the factory wheels. I used 1.5 wheel spacer in the front and it gave me a wobble at highway speeds. I upgraded to rims with the proper offset and it stopped.

    Haven't driven a Tacoma with the radar, does it behave differently that other cars? I generally like the radar based cruise.

    Nope, it doesn't drive any differently. I love the adaptive radar cruise control on road trips especially. I've always found it a pain in the ass to always be fucking with the CC when I come up on another car. Now I don't have to do that anymore, it's great!

    I agree that the adaptive cruise control is a great feature to have on the highway. Mine works very well indeed.

    Law Enforcement around my area use "trunked" radios, I believe a scanner for that is $$$$. I listen to local fire and rescue on a free phone app, works great!
