    Nice work you’ve done, whats your opinion on those hidden winch are they more work than standard cheaper slim/hybrid bumper?

    I like hidden winches. Same or less work involved. Just depends on your wants/needs. Maybe a hidden winch with a viper cut. Would make for a nice combo.

    3rd gen Taco front bumper + wings + winch install. Fun cutting into someone's truck! I enjoy making clean cuts, even though they get covered by edge guard! :sawzall:

    Steady hands! It’s pretty satisfying to get those clean lines. Fantastic work Dave!

    What did you have installed before the 6112s? I'm probably going this route since my 5100s will need changing our soon. They're going on 100k miles. Curious to see how much better the 6112s feel. Will be hitting up Dave soon!

    The 6112s are a huge improvement over 5100s. You wouldn’t be disappointed. Good thing is you get to retain the peace of mind of maintenance-free suspension.

    That's good to know. Think I'm going with the B110 on the rear (extended 5100s) since I want more articulation. Just not sure how they'll pair with the 6112s. I know a few guys here that run it and like the combo.

    Should be fine. Honestly, most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in the rear based on ride quality alone. Dave can chime in but that’s been my experience with installing that setup.

    I ran 5125 rear with 6112 front on my 2018 Tacoma. Rode great and had more travel than a 5100 or 5160 rear. I recommend it for a good budget rear shock set up @dirtnsmores.

    Wish I had taken some more photos but I wanted to give a shout out to Dave for his excellent work on my truck this past weekend. I asked him for help installing some Diode Dynamic Elite fogs, raptor lights and an Anytime Front Camera. What seemed like an easy job was made harder by me wanting to tie everything to some harnesses that would allow me to control the backlight function using my steering wheel stalk rather than clunking it into the fuse box. He was prompt with his communication and took the time to splice wires properly, keep them clean and install everything with care like it was his own truck. Definitely do not hesitate to ask for his help for anything you need.
