    Anything to reduce fuel economy
    Can we get some more pics? Truck looks great and thinking of going up to that tire size soon, did you have to cut anything other than the normal?

    You'll love it man! Went from a 265/70 to this size and man did it change the look of the truck. Feels better comfort wise on and off-road as well.

    I'll post some more as I edit them. Took them last night. I am running about 5 degrees of caster which is helping out the most. Haven't molded any plastics just yet and just cut a bit off of the fender plastic near the cab mount.

    Little bit of this and that
    New tires, and chopped 8" off the factory antenna to bring it down to a more realistic height.

    Another visual mod to my Tacoma... My front bumper had been peeling for a long time, so I decided to bed liner it, the fender flares, and the rear bumper and plastic on the bumper. It turned out amazing! I sanded off the peeling paint and paint on my flares, and roughed up the chrome on the bumper and it seems to be sticking perfectly!

    Also, installed LEDs in my TacomaBeast (Spyder) highs and lows. Makes a huge difference at night compared to the Halogens!

    Looks good! What LEDs did you go with? Did you need to use a relay?

    I went with these... https://www.amazon.com/BEAMTECH-H1-...eywords=beamtech+h1+led&qid=1587412951&sr=8-6
    I did not have to use a relay, they were plug and play, which was nice! The rubber covers for the holes the bulbs go in will not work anymore. The heat sink on the LED is too large, but I checked this morning, and there wasn't any condensation.

    Keep in mind, these headlights use the H1 bulb connector which is not the best, they are flimsy. Other than that, they seem to work and look great!

    Had the dreaded flashing and then solid TPMS light. found 4 Sensors on FB Market Place at a shop near me. Drove out this morning had them check all four. 1 one was bad. Had them replace the sensor and program it. $25 for the sensor and $15 to install and program. So nice guy that I am I bought the other 3 Came from another Toyota Truck that had 35's and wheels put on. Good deal to have 3 spares. He also checked 4 spare TPMS sensors I have for wife Mini sitting in a Cabinet in Garage. The Mini now will get 205/50 16 tires on the 16” rims sitting in storage to make that little thing really handle. While wheel was off Tacoma, I looked at the break pads on Right Front, guess brake job tomorrow 55K mile on original pads. The place is little tire shop run by 3 brothers. The had a nice set of 17” Bronze or Black TRD copy wheels with Toyo tires I was tempered but wife would really be pissed. Maybe if we get another stimulus check.

    Looks good but I think it would look better if the badges matched the wheels IMHO.
