    Yeah I feel like those would run a pretty penny though... maybe you can buy just the mirror for replacement, granted nothing else is broken? It's a side street but hard to say how fast people drive, some go 10-15mph, I've seen some fly at 50mph...

    I've never used insurance before... why would they though, isn't that what you pay $100/mo for?
    Would they jack up your rate after?
    I know nothing about making claims :confused:

    If you make too many claims then your insurance goes up. Fix the small things yourself. :thumbsup:

    Someone somewhere was saying a guy got his tires slashed and truck broke into within 8 months of each other, made claims on both, insurance dropped him afterwards.

    Changed the foglight housing to yellow. Bought the set made for Toyota camry but needed a little trimming on one of the screw slot. 6912BD14-91B0-434A-9142-A09A4CFBA061.jpgC3854C8D-0D7B-4D79-BDB2-18A0F82707DB.jpg

    Would you happen to know if these latches are all the same size? I was looking on Amazon but it only says for 2016-2018 Tacoma’s! TIA! :)

    Did you do the install yourself? How easy was it? I'm looking at the same kit but I've never done an entire suspension before.

    Thanks. It’s been 2 years since I’ve installed it. It kept the bugs out of the radiator during long trips.

    I believe they are all the same size. Someone mentioned you can get them on the wish shopping app.

    Mirror riser came like a day after I ordered it. Got dang. Extra inch or so of visibility is nice, that's my main complaint about the Tacoma, visibility

    I had some help from some friends. Without them though, it probably would have taken another hour or so. It was my first time replacing any suspension parts. There are quite a few videos showing the process on youtube (however the UCA bolt was way harder than any of the videos made it look). My suspension was original so it had 10 years of crud/rust/salt buildup on everything, so I did have to use a sawzall to get some of the rear shock parts out. Also the center alignment pin on the leaf pack needed to be ground off as the nut was just spinning on the bolt and there was no way to stop it. The leaf pack came with a new pin to no worries.

    I don't think I'm going to do UCAs and I'm getting the struts assembled so I don't think it should be too hard .
