How do you like the KM3’s ? I was debating those and the STT Pros , and ended up going with the Pros.

The KM3 is great off road, and handles well on the highway. Not real loud, took a small hit on MPG but knew that was coming. I like um

Yes, I have had the prototype for a couple years now but finally getting around to finalizing some the 3rd gen bumpers.

Can you make it support the sensors and the bsm?

I want it how can I get one QUOTE="oldtoy74, post: 14874266, member: 195593"]okay,

New update ... love this site and as you can see try to use it for suggestions to personalize my taco.
So Previously added awesome set of Mobtown sliders with bump out and love Joe's work. Also added Duratec 265/75/16 tires
Since that time adds
1) Hondo knobs and phone holder (love it)
2) Start up image added to nav system
3) weather tech floor mats
4) Pace Edwards Full metal jacket power bedcover
5) This awesome (i think anyway) custom bedrack. Built by East Coast X here in Lewes, DE it incorporates lights (bed and rear) holder for shovel, surf rod and Hijack plus 4 Treds and PowerTank. The welds are immaculate. Owner built in quick connects on each side of the rack so a channel runs tank side to side. so my post beach fill this weekend consists of taking hose from one side to other all 4 tires up from 18 psi to 37 in about 2 minutes (but once I get my NASCAR skills up I think I can get it to under a minute) I thought a great piece of engineering, I had not seen anywhere before this was this rack is built on bed-rail and still allows me to use bedcover which is pretty darn water tight. If anyone is really interested I could post short clips of bedcover working power and the inflate process.

I wouldn't own a short bed, if they had made a LB with a 4x4 6spd manual.... but they didnt.

Does anyone know why?

Not enough demand, Toyota is in the money making business,they do it by making what is the most profitable, I know it sucks.

This almost made me not buy the truck. Not really sure how hard it is to extend/adjust the SB driveshaft to work with the manual trans/xfer case combo. Everything forward of the back of a QC is the same, and I'm willing to bet the frames don't change lol PITA.

I took my rig out in the snow for a grocery run earlier this morning. The rain has since melted most of the 1-2 inches of snowfall. It’s a bit unusual to get snow this time of year in eastern North Carolina.

Put Wheeler’s SuperBumps on my All Pro Expedition leaf packs. Great fit/finish and material quality is there for sure.

Also dropped the drive shaft and shimmed the axel with 3° shims and totally eliminated the low speed vibrations I was getting.

Not today per say.. but over the weekend! Got the CMC done and new wheels and tires mounted up. Loving it so far. (front shot was pre-leaf blowing and Christmas light hanging )

Got my 16x8 light matte gunmetal Fn Fx Pro wheels on with 285/75/16 tires. They look awesome in every way. I have King OEM suspension with Deaver leafs that add about 2.2 inches in the back and 2.2 inches in front. The rear wheels have no clearance problems, the front I got aligned to +3.0 caster and they don't rub at all in normal driving or full compression, but do just a little when turned hard and fully compressed on the cab mount.

TRD pro grille with orange vinyl inserts. Rigid Fog lights. AVS wind deflectors. Black Vinyl inserts for wheels with TRD pro center caps. Rigid lights from auto anything. Everything else was bought on eBay.

Good stuff, Just picked up a new to me set of All Pro Expo's. Did'nt have the bushings or sleeves. What set did you go with to use the oem shackle.

Brought this home on November 28th

Since then, I've made a few changes.

Today's major accomplishment was getting the bed centered on the cab, something I didn't realize was out of alignment until the new tires and wheels went on Friday and the right-rear tire clearly appeared to be sitting further out from the wheel well opening than the left-rear tire. Glancing up at the bed alignment with the back of the cab confirmed the issue: the bed was about 3/8" off center.

So, this morning the bed bolts were loosened-up, the fuel filler neck clamp was released and the bed alignment pin flange was bent 3/8" to the right to center the bed on the cab; easy-peasy. Just tighten up the fuel filler neck clamp and re-torque the bed bolts.

Next up, waiting for the TRD Pro grill, LeatherSeats.com black leather interior, and the A.R.E. Z-Series bed topper to arrive so I can get this thing finished.

Sharp, like to see it with the topper.
