    I haven't done much except put 1634 miles in a week. first road trip in the taco and she did great. With speeds of 15-100 :D I got 18-20mpgs, I couldn't believe it and with ac on about half the time. The dakars rode great with the extra weight, but a little less comfy coming back with less weight.

    im looking for some led bulbs for backing up, who has them and from where? found them on ebay but there different designs not sure which ones to get?

    Darn, looks like I'll need spacers then! Ohh well!

    Just another drop in the bucket!

    Spidertraxx are out right now which are hub and lug centric.

    The allpro sets are hub OR lug centric.

    I know the OE on my '01 is lug, so will I run into any problems using the 2nd gen hub centric rims on a lug centric spacer? :confused::confused::confused:

    Replaced the cs144 alt. that I just put in back in jan./feb. Luckily it's a very easy swap and because of the lifetime warranty, it's a free replacement. I also did this little mod.
