For the front rail. See here:

Your setup looks good- I put mine in to cool off the condenser to get colder A/C air when driving slow, my ScanGuage hasn't really shown much difference for engine temp, but the A/C works really well.

 

Hit a deer entering Carlsbad NM, which broke some tabs on the front lower fender, bent the drivers side wheel. Got a new wheel, upgraded tires to a 275, wife is 4’10 so didn’t do the 285.

 

Just a safety FYI.....

The drivers side is not a tow point. It is not strong enough to handle that type of force. It is a vehicle tie-down point. It is used for securing the vehicle during shipping.

It would probably work for light duty towing if you needed to be pulled on a paved roadway. Using it as a rescue or recovery point when stuck could cause structural damage to your vehicle. The passenger side is engineered as a tow / rescue / recovery point.

There are several discussions here on Tacoma World regarding this matter.

Welcome................

 

Do they look cool sure. They do serve a purpose when used correctly that does not include acceptance from strangers. In this pic you can see how my tire is hitting the shock, Timbren Bump stop is on the frame and I have more to go on the shaft. Not everyone is desperate for attention.

 

I think traction boards are what's needed for this job.

 

Blue tint looks awesome!! I was looking at those as well. You go with BSM model?

 

Put another 25 miles early AM on the truck after yesterdays KDMAX Pro+XT tune and enjoying how it's settling in nicely! With a little luck I can make another run later today.

 

I’ve had mine for about 3 years and love them. Wish they would have made one for tundra’s but spotter mirror came through for that

 

The blue tint took a little while to get used to but does help with glare.

 

Twistedshifterz grey pearl knob and DIY boot spacer. Not happy with the spacer. Gonna redo that part. Love the knob though.

 

News to me. Slicing a noodle and fitting it over the vents I assume?

 

Not exactly.
1. Choose a small noodle the colour of you Taco preferable.
2. Slice noodle(optional dependant on size) to allow it to compress between cab and box.
3. Feed a piece of wire through it to assist with placement.
4. Feed noodle from right to left side over fuel tank.
5. Once presses in place just above the bottom of the cab floor, use the wire to straighten noodle and tip the ends downward to allow water to run off. Then remove wire.
6. Drive around the block and realize you just spent $2 on the cheapest mod ever with immediate results on reducing road noise.

 

Question about the 6112’s…I’ve been looking at these mainly for leveling out the front end. I don’t care for the forward slant. I don’t want to just go the cheap route with spacers. I know these give me the option to lift it higher in the future as well if I desire. However, they are not cheap. Is there a significant improvement in ride and handling over the stock Bilstein shocks that come with the TRD Off Road? Are they stiffer? Less body roll? Less nose dive? Those kinds of things. I don’t mind spending that kind of money if it will improve the overall handling of the truck. I just can’t justify that amount of money for a small front end lift.

Today I beat the piss out of my skid plates on Kingston peak CO

 

No love for the John Deer taco?

 

Bumper installed. Now wondering if I should move forward in installing the stage 2 wings that I have though I am still waiting to hear back from SSO regarding fitment.

 

it amazes me the crap people slap on their Turds…

 

Used it as a clothesline
