    Scangauge 2 installed. Happy to now have MPG monitoring real time. Something my last 3 rental cars have had that my taco didn't. Just did a short run to the store. Usually run 17-18mpg mixed.

    Now to figure a way to get a thermometer that isn't linked to the f*ckin HD radio.

    Wow. Have you considered a small body lift? It's one of the things Arctic Trucks does to fit 38"s.

    Hello tacomaworld, just bought an all pro front bumper and I was looking for a good fog light to fit the 4 inch cut outs. I was looking in the the baja designs sport lights but they tell me that there too bright for road use. Can someone help?Resized_20180726_170850_7332.jpg

    I just flipped to acc for the pic. I was parked in the parking lot.

    I do have a small rattle somewhere, but I think it is the skidplate.

    Installed a used softopper I bought off a member here. Changed oil, changed out my upper control arm bushings, and did front brake pads.

    Maybe they help, maybe not. Who knows? All I can say is cheap insurance considering the cap with it’s front runner roof rack lives on the truck full time and it seems like it’s loaded or I’m walking on it a lot.

    I have them and I admit they are quite bright and don’t recommend them for road use. I would look in the lighting sections. Someone did a huge study / reviews about dot approved fog lights.

    I saw your post about swapping the packs out completely but for folks on a budget find some OEM packs that others have replaced and salvage the leafs from them and build a better pack for your truck. Will need a new center pin bolt but it will help. Usually cost is the price of the new bolts and U-bolts.

    I've got Baja Designs race series lights in mine because I'm a dumbass and ignored the advice that Bailey @Baja Designs gave me when he said that they would be too damn bright for use on the street. When I pull it all apart agin I'll rip these out and replace them with sports.

    They still don’t have a cutoff and will be bright to oncoming drivers. I love driving with mine on but it’s a dick thing to do at night.

    My intention for street use was only as fog lights and intentionally aimed 15º down. Like I stated earlier, the race series just laugh at the down angle and still melt faces. They'll end up on a KTM woods bike eventually.
