    Hell yeah brother take her as far back as you can. Like i said, mine ended up dead flush with the wheelwell and probably gained at least a good inch in clearance. Gotta finish up my pinch weld myself, and by the time these tires are worn out I'll already have a new bumper and spindle gusset ready for 35s haha.

    I shoulda just gone 35 to start...

    Anyone in NorCal able to take a drive with me in my Tacoma? I seem to have something failing or very worn in my driveline and I can't figure out what it might be.

    Volant CAI, TRD Exhaust, Throttle Body Expansion with vortex, too many others to mention.
    I bought some and returned it because a professional detailer told me it was no good. To each his own.

    Coverking Genuine Neoprene seat covers. Black.

    A few wrinkles from being folded in the box but hopefully they come out or else I'm going to contact them and ask for a replacement.

    Easy install, hardest part was fitting my arm underneath the seat to grab the strap that holds the base in place. Also had to figure out how to unlatch the stock elastic bands holding the rear plate.

    Fit is pretty good......I'm pretty happy and should work well with the black truck.

    Stock seats....

    Nice! Good choice. Had mine for little under two years and still holding up well. Really easy to clean.

    Same. I've never had an issue so bad that I felt I needed to leave to a damning review lol. In my experience, they have sent me free new covers if I messed up.

    How do you like the change in location?
    I have mines where you had yours by the steering wheel. It does block my view of some dash icons, but it is easy to look at while driving.

    I was used to having it on the column. But it was also in the way. The location it’s at now was not being used. It’s like looking out your rear view mirror. You get use to this location then. Since I tow a camper (nuCamp T@G XL—teardrop) I always monitor tranny and coolant temps. MPG is there, but don’t monitor, Alt output I do watch. I like where it is and will eventually get/be as used to it as it was on the column. I hope this answered your question? And the cord that comes with the scangauge II is long enough for this location.
