    Extremely solid, install was really easy even by myself with Christina helping a little. I would order brute force again in a heartbeat. I emailed a fitment question (drivers side needs a washer) figured I'd take care of it later, he ended up calling me in like 20 minutes and sorting it out. Super awesome service and super stout product.

    I have been searching for the same thing around these parts. I cancelled my slider order, do to the fact that shipping would cost more then I was paying for the sliders themselves.

    I'm going to be finding a local fab shop to build some for me to save a few hundred bucks.

    Hey guys. I am going to be selling the TPMS's that I got with the rims. They came off of a 2005 Tacoma with about 150k miles. What is a good price for them? I am offering them to y'all first.

    I'll check them out. Sounds like a good deal!

    Depends on the type of rims. There are two different typed of TPMS. One set for steel wheels, and one set for alloy wheels. The ones for the Alloy wheels ran for about $20 each, and the ones for the steel wheels ran about $15 each when I was messing with 2nd gen stuff. I would check eBay to see what they are selling for now a days though.

    I agree with this, my sliders are awesome, not too expensive, and the shipping wasn't bad either. Super nice guy too, he'll build you whatever you want.

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    Soooo.....anyone wanna buy some cheap led light bars?

    Check out this site.

    I've been researching them for a while and they are getting some down right awesome reviews. People have completely stripped them down and they are made from really good quality components.

    I'm thinking about picking up the 42" for the front and maybe a small one for the rear. If you haven't seen the light output from these led bars in person, its absolutely incredible.

    Make sure they grease the bushings before they put them back together. Apparently toyota doesn't grease them from the factory, and a lot of people have this problem.

    No problem, who is the shop? I've been having some clunking, I'm guessing its a matter of time before I need my bushings cut out and replaced.

    Ah, might want them to grease up the bushings before they install if you still can...
