    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    Maybe this will help.

    Installed Costco seat covers and memory foam back support (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N42C8HH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

    I have bad posture and am coming from a year 2007 car. Since then it seem that they have redesigned seats that reduce injury during a crash but are these seats uncomfortable. I found that the head rest pushes out too much and I can never get comfortable. The back support helps a lot!

    I have never been a car seat cover kind of person but that's because I never used my car on a camping trip. With our truck, I am excited to go camping again and taking out my family camping for the first time. Also looking to do some off roading as well! In short, we're planning on getting real smokey and dirty but keep the truck as clean as possible :D

    That thing looks sweet! I bet it's sturdy as hell.

    Now that you've had it a little while how do you like it? Have you experienced any heavy rain with it? Another member said that their Alu-cab leaks from every seal of every window. I'm thinking of getting one but there don't seem to be a lot of reviews.

    Wow. So sorry to see that. I’m assuming from the looks of it there could be some frame damage? Did the insurance company total or no?

    It was a howling sound. The new springs and dampers got rid of that sound.

    It had the other, occasional kazoo or Ocarina sound from the lower control arms when new. I fixed that with plastic plugs from Lowe’s.

    Anyone exchanging their bed cubbies for some of those other options that are interested in getting rid of their bigger cubby on the left side or driver’s side, I will take it. Please let me know

    I think they’re two different problems.

    The dif howl seems to be resonance. The resonance which is causing the perceived howling sound is masked, or covered up by the new springs and dampers.

    Perhaps the rear differential leak is related to the original one way valve pressurizing the differential.
    Or, maybe the rear dif leak is just from bad gaskets, bad sealing/lack of gasket sealant, or bad machining.

    Time will tell if it leaks again.

    I have a feeling that will be a hot item once more people start driving 19's. Can't believe they got rid of them.

    Oh I totally forgot about that. They will have to do a lot of modding for that. Hopefully someone will have one or if unfortunate situations happen that your truck gets totaled, I would love the option to be able to get this cubby.

    Installed the OEM Tacoma bed light kit today. Took about and hour an half. Mostly due to my OCD with tucking the wires under the truck with the factory harness and zip tieing everything. Wired it up so that when I press the bed light switch (that’s stock by your left knee) it comes on with it. The light output is really good for the money and it looks like it’s supposed to be there and has a nice housing that won’t break from anything hitting it. Definitely recommend it over the led strip kits that just stick on to the side of the bed.

    They are long enough for about 3 Tacoma’s lol
    I had to cut about 6-7ft or wire and just spliced the wires back together. Highly recommend that because if you don’t youll end up with a huge birds nest of wires.
