    It seems to me that the 95-97 Tacoma's have a lot worse "taco Lean" than newer 1st gens... My 96 had TERRIBLE lean. But my 03 Tacoma has 1/4" of lean up front, and level in the back... :confused:

    Over the past few days I've changed my shift knobs to older 4 runner 5spd knobs, put my interior back together to include installation of the new alpine sub in the cubby hole replacement box & all interior panels, washed it, cleaned the bedlined floors for the first time since spraying them, cleaned the bed out of leaves and debris as well as my toolbox and straightened it up, welded my muffler hanger on, welded a tag/plate for our shop (CFS Offroad) on the rear bumper I made a while back, finished my hood mounted duallys and wired them up, finished installing the Blue Seas fuse block, wired my in cab winch controls back up oh & I think the last thing was added about 37.6 HP due to a new sticker.

    This please.

    Also an explanation.

    Eventually I will need dual amps, however with the new driver's seat of mine, an amp won't fit under it.

    So I will have the amp powering the two fronts under the passenger seat and have been wondering where to put the amp that will eventually power the sub I mount in the passenger side storage cubby.

    Will do! They're curved mounts to fit the fender curve and welded to the top of the fender. And painted white to match the rest of the truck. But I'll try to get some more pics for you

    not the best but it works used white LED strips... probably should have used yellow. white makes the red look pinkish but i can live with it better then no lights at all
