    Yeah, he's essentially an ammo scalper. Jerks, the lot of them.

    Perfect, that would be the ideal way to go for what i am doing i think. I didn't mean run power thru the switch, i meant run power to the switch from a add a fuse or circuit tap with a low amp fuse, but it probably wouldn't be worth the trouble just to have fogs anytime. Then ill just do the fog light anytime mod if i decide i want to in the future. Thats the last piece to my lighting puzzle :) ill get some night shots up tomorrow :bananadance:

    I was thinking of doing the same thing with my green and white wires from my fog lights. I want to use the factory switch on the turn signal stalk, but I need lights to hook up to it...

    So I found a load inflation table. For the stock P265/65r17, at the recommended 29psi, the tires support a load of 2150lbs (unloaded truck). For my new size of LT285/75r16, for the same load rating of 2150, I only need to have ~35psi in the tires. If I had stayed with 265/65r17 in an LT tire, then the PSI would have to be somewhere between 45~50psi.

    Yeah. I believe the curb weight for a stock access cab is around the 3900~4000lbs area.

    I wish. Me and some friends are taking the wives to a stupid musical thing, and I still don't have my extended brake line on. Can't go much more than static height or I'm maxing out the stock brake line with these all pro springs

    That's plenty, so you can find the perfect psi to maximize your tread wear and tire life.

    I would but the wife signed my son up for swim lessons on Sats and Suns. She's at work, and I'm in the pool.

    You passed me yesterday, taking a left out of the road where Home Depot and Applebees is.

    I'm currently at 36 front, 34 rear. Might drop 1~2 psi each, then do a highway test to make sure the tires don't heat up excessively.

    She'll deal..she's had other animals all of her 11 yrs so far. She growled a little at Salem but just takes time. I integrated Pumpkin who was an only cat with Princess and Pumpkin in a small apartment pretty easily.

    I've found that cats eventually get along unless they're really old.

    Even at that it can happen. We took Scratch at 8yrs old..at the time Pumpkin was 21-22 and initially a little conflict. Once Scratch figured it out she just left Pumpkin be.

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    If you keep dropping the PSI down you'll see your MPG's go down with it. I have had mine at 40psi all the way around for a while now and the tires are wearing evenly.

    Anyone see the TRD pro teasers???

    I hear rumors of an iForce badge on the taco and 4Runner. Also hear rumors of superchargers.

    Supercharged iForce taco? Oh fuck yes!

    Don't get your hopes up too high... How many 'special' versions of the Tacoma have been released that were little more than a trim package? At least the TRD Pro has a slightly improved suspension over stock and more of the TRD bolt on goodies but I'd be completely floored if they came out with a V8 Tacoma, let alone a force-fed V8 Tacoma.

    Toyota did release a S/C V8 Tacoma at one of the SEMA shows but that was the only rumor I heard about it. The Pro seems to be all hype at this point, nothing concrete.

    The TRD Pro lineup is going to be revealed at the Chicago Auto show next week. There are no details out there. Only thing toyota has shown is a commercial that shows a bunch of closeups and some still photos on facebook. I am betting it will be trim stuff, nothing earth shattering.
