    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Eventually, gonna have to do 5.29 and I'll do front and rear ARB then too. Well if I keep the thing, I've had thoughts of selling my truck recently. But the other vehicle I want is a poor replacement for it so it'll probably be staying around, with a daily I kinda forget about it and feel bad for it just sitting idle. It is tons of fun to drive though, just gotta make more effort to drive it. What I really need is some lighting haha.

    Light bars give better traction haha. I just got a daily and feel bad for the taco, but I love the tacoma, I couldn't part with it ever I think. Keep the thing! You've put so much work into it. Sucks your cruiser is giving you issues. Makes things exhausting.

    Despite what everyone says about putting it up top I’ve never had a problem with mpg or wind noise or any other issue other then it likes to attact bugs and im afraid of going through a car was because ive heard stories of people had them ripped off

    Ive heard light colored trucks have it bad but my truck is black and i have no hood glare at all. Its all about postion and angle. Lots of guys just throw it up there and think its all good and then complain about all the problems they have

    Sounds about right. I see so many of them in socal, mostly on pristine jeeps in town. I like the thought of doing night runs with a light bar that size

    I like the 42” strait on here. Ive seen some guys with curved ones. Not a big fan of those. But you do get more flood with them but thats why i had the pods angled out.

    I see lots of bro truck with them up here too. Seen a tundra thay had one and i guess its lose because it just point strait down and he has never fixed it lol. Seen some trucks with them not even wired up lol. Seen jeeps with winches that arnt eveb wired up before too lol.

    I like mine they light up everything when im out in the dark with no shadows. I use to use them when me and some of my friends use to meet up at night to play basketball at the out door courts near me lol. Night games were fun

    I forgot to mention that my F5s and KO2s are officially sold. So much more room in my garage for junk I don't need.

    I don't have to imagine, I had 4 32s and 6 33s in the garage for a week or so. Big tars take up lots of floorspace

    I've only got the 3 car garage. Cannot wait to build a shop though, the count down to move out of AZ is constantly running in the back of my head.
