    Get a Toyota bed mat if you haven't already. It'll keep stuff from sliding around. Best mod I've done by far.

    This is what worked for me. Not the front but the rear. Also 5.10. The bottom cushion is now near flat, like a truck should be imo

    made all the difference for me. I can now comfortably drive longer than an hr without shifting all the time with lower back pain and iirc leg/thigh discomfort. Keep in mind, IMO, how you lift the truck also changes the angle of the seat. Noticed a bit more lift in the seat/rear when I added an aal to combat rear sag (it ended up raising the rear maybe 1/2”-3/4” over what stock was originally but I could tell the difference initially). I had the advantage of a work truck that is comfortable to drive and compared it to the taco for differences to find what likely would be best for me. I’d say to those unsure front or rear is to get longer bolts and washers and test drive it out then buy once

    Be prepared to wait for a while on CBI. Ordered their rear swing out high clearance rear before the snow melted here. Quoted 2-3 months, finally called at the 4 month mark because I hadn’t heard a thing from them. Had to keep calling them. Showed up a little over 5 months later. A quick phone call to say we’re running behind schedule would have gone a long way. Missing parts and wrong brackets. Finally got one of the correct brackets, still forgot to shit me the missing part. Finally got that in. 2 days in the rain and rust spots started ALL over the place, mostly where the welds are. I’ve spent days cleaning it all off and coating every seam on the bumper. So that was good money spent on powder coat… I did so much research on companies to figure out who I wanted to go with for all the armor. It’s seems like I’m a minority and they usually do good, but damn I’ve had such a bad experience. So now back to researching who I’ll go with for the front bumper and the rest of the armor

    Bumper is solid, I love the dual camp tables. The customer service, missing/wrong parts and poor finish are why I’d be extremely hesitant to go with them again for anything. Again, sounds like I’m the minority here and the bumper is stout as hell and very useful. Just posting my experience.

    I've never tried, but honestly I feel like I could pull the cap open at the tailgate end lol. Definitely with a flat bar, no problem. That being said, you'd have to mangle it somehow and that might grab someone's attention so I think it's secure enough. I don't store my gold ingots back there anyway.

    I'm not entirely sure, but it may depend on if it had actually been leaking or not. I hadn't noticed a problem with mine, so looks like they may have added some kind of sealer and put the plastic piece on top. Unfortunately I don't have a PN.

    I been traveling so i havent had a chance to ask. A couple weeks ago i took my spare down to swap for a bigger tire. When i took down the tire i noticed pretty substantial indents on the sidewall from where the tire was pushed against the frame. Anyone have this same issue. No i dont have pics unfortunately

    Yep, cost me all of $6 to do something similar. Why people spend 40 bucks for a pre cut hose and fitting is beyond me. #forums
