    Hmm that's weird.

    I honestly think you're fine, but it doesn't hurt to double check.

    Thanks! I can't wait to test it out :D

    I finally heard back from Adam. He says they're suppose to be like that so that there's no rubbing at full stuff. I guess it makes sense, but I just wish I caught that before installing. Maybe I'll have to just trim the flares to make it line up

    ...too much shit to list.
    I think a quick notch on the flair would be fine and look a lot better.

    Yeah it was a lot easier to cut the flair, that's for sure. It's just getting the flares off without breaking the clips is a PITA.

    And yeah idk about 35s just yet lol

    LOL I just got a new set of 33s so these will have to wear down before I even think of 35s.

    Awesome build. Is your Rage roof rack the smaller 48" size or the larger 60-something one?

    Thanks man. I got the bigger one, I think it's 62". You can see that it runs the length of the cab, almost too big. I'm curious to see how the 48" compares

    Oh okay. I'm looking to get one for my camper shell and I'm torn between the sizes. My buddy got the larger one for the roof of his Cherokee and it seems huge. I don't want to get the 48" if it'll look too small though....I've never seen that one on a Tacoma before

    If you have a 5ft bed, the rack might be too big (by 2"). See if your buddy will let you borrow his so you can see the fit

    ;)

    oh btw, I painted mine with bedliner. It comes with a super glossy finish and makes it look real cheap. I had to change that quickly

    Cool, thanks. I don't think I want the rack to be any larger than my shell. I think that would look silly. Have you had any rust issues?

    Finally installed! King extended coilovers with 700lb springs

    Still have to play around with the ride height. Hard for me to compare because I didn't measure before installing, and I have glass fenders so it doesn't compare to anyone else's.

    Was using the King adjuster tool, but it got to a point where I couldn't crank anymore. The tip of the tool even got bent.

    It gets harder and you need to make sure the tool is seated in the collar.

    Good to know. Never adjusted coilovers, but I'll keep it in mind. Looks good MJ. Ian, I haven't seen you in awhile... Hope we sync up on the trails this summer.
