    Does the scoop make a difference in sound?

    Here is a 2.25” ProComp Leveling kit up front with a 1” Low Range OffRoad block and Bilstein 5100 in the rear. Rides the same as stock excepted for a little stiffer with the Cooper ST Maxx 235/85/16. This is a 2wd as well.

    Looks very good!!!
    I think the only doubt is if I go 2.5" on shocks with stock springs the ride will be different or harder...

    It will be harder at 2.5” on 5100 with stock springs. I like the way this rides at 2.25” and it will allow me to do what I want to do with it.

    For me I just parked that sucker in full sun. Once the paint was hot to the touch I just lifted a corner of the graphics and they peeled right off in one piece. Truck was only seven months old at the time so they came off pretty easy. No glue residue other than the outline left behind. A wipe with 70% isopropyl alcohol took care of that. The alcohol won't hurt the clear coat or paint.

    We have a new craze in my neck of the woods and I'm wondering if this is occurring in other locals. It seems the new thing to do is to swipe the Toyota symbol off the trucks grill. Hasn't happened to me yet since I try not to linger in parking lots for very long. And if my truck is in a parking lot somewhere it's all by itself and is as inconspicuous as a fly in a sugarbowl.
    Anyone else seeing these goings on?

    Great info!
    I'm in the market for a TRD Pro SS cat back exhaust system, the dealers are very proud of those exhausts, so, I'm trying to find a reasonably priced one without having to take out a second mortgage, slim pickings so far, any recommendations?

    I would go through Head Strong. More knowledgeable plus great customer service. :D Ride will be much smoother with 887's rather than pre-loading the stock coils at 2".

    Have not seen that, but considering how easily they pop off...I could see kids doing it.

    Aftermarket "Bro" pro-grille wins again. :wave:

    The lock is specifically designed for the spare tire transport system to prevent others from lowering your spare tire and, theft, the rim (wheel) is insignificant and should work, unless your Taco is fitted with super swampers. In either case do your due diligence and verify fitment of your rim and tire on your truck spare tire well.

    Nothing like that around here so far. Gotta figure out a way to wire them so when the vehicle is locked it actuates a current to the emblem so when they try to swipe it they get a nice jolt instead. There has to be a way!:spy:

    Magneto from an old Ford, Model A or T, I forget which. If my father-in-law was still with us I'd ask him because as a prankster back in the day he's actually done it. One hell of a mechanic too! If Harry couldn't fix it then haul it to the junkyard!
