    DCSB 12 slightly lifted Tacoma
    Ripped off all four mudflaps. Scratches all down both sides 6112’s up front on 3rd notch 5100’s in back with Toytech 1” block Skids & sliders from SOS Concepts I got rid of the 1” block and put on Wheelers 1 1/2” progressive AAL. SPC UCA. Be sure your standing on the drivers side when reading the instructions! I swapped sides so many times that I can swap UCA’s in 15 minutes. I put in the 3/4” spacer to eliminate the Taco Lean, and just got my 4th alignment. Traded the OEM rims for 17” Sport rims and a bora bora 1” spacer. I got my Firestone 285/70/17 MT2’s. Pelfreybilt gas tank skid and hi-lift jack should be here Friday. Looking at bumpers, but I think they will wait for next year. So far I’m happy with my build. I’ve done it all myself, leading to a lot of cussing and frustration, but it’s all mine.
    Swaybar quick disconnect?

    Very nice looking truck. What kind of tree is that and what are the white things growing on it? I lived in San Antonio for 6 weeks and never seen anything like that, but I really didn't get a chance to really get out and see much of San Antonio, if you know what I mean.

    So is your front width wider than your rear? How does it track in the snow and mud?

    Thank you
    Mescalbeans is the name of the tree/plant. Its a common tree in Texas, they are known for the red bean inside the pod, you can rub it on concrete and it can get really hot.

    Clean the MAF and throttle body. Change the spark plugs and the air filter. Other than that you will be luckly to get over 17mpgs with your lift and tire set up.

    I am stock height on 32" X 11" (rounded up :D) and I cannot get mine over 17mpg's. I am also an agressive driver. And I have 1.25" wheel spacers which create drag by pushing the wheels outside the well!

    All that said, I love my Taco. Best truck I have every owned! :bikewheelie2::bikewheelie2::bikewheelie2:

    Looks good! I recently added sound deadener and infinity's and the sounds is better but I could really use more power since I don't want to go the sub route right now. What all did you need to set up the amp? I'm not new to aftermarket stereos but I would like to keep the stock head unit and I've never added an amp with a stock setup.

    Just a bunch of old crap
    Finally spent the time to wire up the 3.0A USB port and the volt meter. No more charging cable running across from the cigarette lighter charger to my phone mount. The inReach Mini goes up by the phone mount on wheeling trips and can use the 2.4A outlet. Moved the amp bass attenuator knob up by the fog switch.

    Now that the Prinsu is installed, I need to drill some holes in the Pelican and mount it. I hate to drill the holes....
