    Nice I wish my Tacoma was spruce miCA instead of nautical blue metallic.

    Next came the rears. Again everything came off pretty easy. Had an issue with one of the brake lines not wanting to come loose but that's it. I started spraying all the nuts and bolts down a few times a day a few days prior to the install and it helped a ton. I forgot to spray a couple bolts and they were much harder to break loose.

    Only snapped a few pics as we were running out of time and still needed to fix the caster issue on the fronts.

    They weren't bad at all. Those bolts are actually supposed to be self threading into the frame. On the driver side I couldn't get inside the frame to use a nut so I drilled a hole just a hair smaller and slowly worked that bolt on until it seated. On the passenger side I had room to reach around and use a nut for added piece of mind.

    Thanks Josh! I really appreciate that. I don't mind the chrome so much and I'm glad I didn't go with the painted grill. The grill and the headlights really flow well together. Those headlights would be goofy as hell if the grill wasnt chrome.

    I really don't have a lot more planned for the truck. RTT is coming soon. On board air and CB for sure at some point. LED ditch lights like you mentioned and maybe an LED bar in the lower valence and that's about it.

    Exactly!! I'm all about functionality and getting the most out of my dollar. I figure I'll leave it alone for the most part and get as many scouting/camping/hunting trips in as I can this year until I really get a good first hand idea of what I need to add or change.

    My gut feeling tells me the biggest change I see coming next year is a trailer build.

    Someone school me on the driveline vibes please. I had them pretty bad before the lift. Everything I've read says that lift is usually what causes the vibe due to changing the drive shaft angle. Makes sense so I ordered the spacer just in case. I never installed the spacer but my vibes are completely gone now since installing my lift. Certainly not complaining but I would like to educate myself.
