    Have you checked your coax for shorts? Normally you'll just get high SWR but it's worth a shot if you haven't already done so.

    Already said I tried different coax and antenna ;)

    Ran it directly from the back of the radio, through my open driver side door, right to the antenna.

    Pretty much all I did for the first 3 months of owning them... :eek:

    But I don't regret them at all. They're light, quite on the highway, do great on the trails, and last a long time.

    Hey I just wanted to know if you bought extended brake lines with your lift and if yes where did you buy them at?

    What's the average tread life on em? That was the one bugaboo that I didn't like to read in people's online reviews


    Thanks, I think I'm about to screw it into the dash tomorrow or this weekend sometime. Double din is badass, I really like it! I'll be stoked to make a long drive and be able to watch a DVD while driving :anonymous:
    LOL. Hell no I'm not gonna be on TacomaWorld at Marine Corps boot camp!!!
    I'll have my phone afterward but I won't have near the amount of time for TW as I do now :pout:
    Nah they're not doing the group buy for the seat covers anymore, the next one is probably gonna be in the spring of 2014. I got mine for $285. When I get my Dad his, it'll probably come out to around $380ish without the group buy discount (same covers as mine, just different colors)


    What TimmyB said. It depends on the height of your lift, most recommend one with a 2.5 - 3 inch lift or higher. I too think I bought mine off AllPro for something like $30

    I only have about 8,000 miles on mine. At this rate I know I will get over 30,000 easily...

    Yeah not bad, is that with rotating them every 5k miles?

    I guess it's just hard comparing other tires' tread life with the BFG All Terrains.

    Yeah, I've rotated mine twice in the ~8,000 miles that I've driven on them.

    Yup, but honestly anywhere between 4,000-6,000 won't be a big difference.

    My ultra gauge and low fuel level indicator are the only way I can keep track of my fuel though, my gas gauge is jacked up....

    When you bought the pro comp rims did they come with lug nuts or did youhave to buy them separate?

    They came with em. I got 4 of them for $410 with an email from some other vendor giving me their sale price, Discount Tire matched it-- they're VERY good about matching prices


    Simple as that huh? Good to hear!
