    Got my front budget lift on tonight. Bilstein 5100s with OME 885 and Camburg UCAs. Got right at 3" but with an alignment and some miles I'm sure it will settle a tad, rides awesome! Need to do the rear tomorrow.

    Just do the best you can and take it easy, it will work. I had trouble too but figured it out. You'll notice the head liner will start to give a bit allowing you to tuck the harness. Regarding the plastic trim pieces, I never got those back on, they never seemed to fit right.

    Just a thought* - You could always take the overhead console off to get behind the headliner and pull the harness up with some sort of hook. Might make things a little easier.

    Just remember, do not over tighten the mirror to the mirror riser or you could very easily crack your windshield. Good luck :thumbsup:

    Tnuts are right, but you can use these strut channel nuts as well. They will sit at more of a 45, which will still be strong with plenty of bite once tightened down. I know the feeling though, seems like you should have received the right tnuts from the get-go if it was a Tacoma specific kit.

    I got these molle panels for Christmas and I was messing around with them since I'm stuck at home. Im likening them. I know it doesn't look great with just using ratchet straps but it's simple and it works for now.

    Yep because these things rust quickly. Even in Georgia with no salt

    Black phosphate coating is awful at protecting against moisture in general. First rain and it’s done.

    Ac went out so I changed the motor and resistor. Took about an hour. Should have been less difficult but the hardest part was getting the wiring pulled from the old motor.
