    TRD emblems, tinted windows, OEM running boards, AVS vent shades, RMAS upgrade, LED lights in front and rear, interior LED lighting upgrade, LED lighting in bed, touch control dash mount for LED lighting, auxillary 12v and USB jacks in bed, replace all speakers with Infinity, custom mod with Bose tweeters, TRD Pro illumination mod...
    Question. Everyone doing a front suspension upgrade swaps out the UCA. Is there no good reason to also replace the LCA?

    Haven't necessarily done it to the Tacoma yet, but did take receipt of a set of Total Chaos UCA and OME UCA (why both? it's a story...)

    Instead of sending one back straight-off, I've taken receipt of both to try and make a more informed decision before re-selling the other set. If anyone has a suggestion on which to keep please DM or comment the build thread -- help is appreciated.

    Link to full "comparison" in build thread.

    What this sub forum needs is a "Things I've broken while having fun" thread.

    Broken tie rod ends, broken glass is always good, Broken differentials need more than one picture!

    I'm new, Nothing has broken.......yet ;-)

    There was a thread back in February where a couple of guys were talking about installing it on a 2018. You may shoot one of them a message to see if they got it figured out. Search for "Device on Windshield" to see the discussion.

    Yes lots of good reasons. Stronger, better bushings. I am hoping Icon makes a LCA one of these days!

    Played around with some paint and some black 651 vinyl. It does not light up anymore, which is a win in my book.

    Put a new patch up in my truck (the middle one). It's pretty cool. From @yotatactical on Instagram.

    Custom, only one ever designed and built interiors, heavily welded frame, all sharp metal turned bed rack and a roof top I made for $75. Power pedal, injen intake system, cat delete, summit racing brake proportioning valve controlled on the fly, slightly adjusted or perhaps unrecognizable ECM, built in under bed storage, high clearance rear built with 1/4" on a 6011 1/8" rod at 120 amps, 360 degrees of led light, a PA and CB, on board air, on board propane (to cook food), on board fridge made from an old red bull fridge found on some guys man cave built into the storage cubby under the back seat, imported tranny and clutch from a good friend over in Europe to replace this aisin junk we get, combined 32 gallons fuel capacity, 18 5 gallons of water storage, built in gun locker under RTT, and all it cost was to hear the wife ramble on about upset neighbors at 2 in the morning every night since I bought that damn truck..
    Worked in the new roof top tent getting it ready for some late season elk hunts!
