    I've got the front light bar working! Yay!:dancingbacon::yay::woot:

    I relayed it to the high beams; I prefer to be able to shut off all high beams at once for oncoming traffic. I hate fumbling for a switch when a vehicle comes over a hill or such as.

    I'm going to wire the back-up lights to the existing Juans for now, just to get everything up & running. I'll probably wire them to a switch eventually, though.
    I paused for a cerveza. :cheers:

    P.S. Chris makes really nice brackets!!!!! :thumbsup:

    I have to work in the driveway, which is asphalt w/ ants & bugs. If I ever move, I want a nice 2-car garage.

    Let me know about the rear suspension. I might be up for those. But sorry to hear that your being jacked around. And I've seen JBerry's runner, pretty sick too.

    The Icons and Deavers? Or the Kings I have for sale?

    Ya it's sad the insurance has been worse than the theft. I was scared on day one that this would be the case and I was unfortunately right...

    No worries. I know it will be a process and I'm in no real rush.

    Hahaha, someone was complimenting you and it gave you the weird twitchy feeling!

    While you are on the line, what are your thoughts about your trailer over longer desert rods with whoops and stuff. Does it knock your speed down to a crawl or can you keep some decent speed. Not smashing whoops, just don't want to crawl down long stretches of road...

    I can't do 70 mph or anything, but the trailer holds it's own. Shocks (and valving them for my purpose) made all the difference in the world on the trailer:

    I creeped this video the other week. I do the Mojave Road every year. Would be a great place for the trailer but a lot of long roads with smaller whoops, 300 mile trip. Would suck to go slow a lot of the way... Sounds like it will do the job. Definetly gunna use a similar suspension to yours!

    2015 Tacoma, needing a new clam shell bearing, and Toyota is saying they won't warranty it. Any suggestions on a shop in the ABQ area to do an ECGS upgrade?

    I'm a little bit sad that my tacoma is small. I'm thinking of getting a raptor... thoughts, feelings? I'm a rugged gentlemen, I want heated/cooled leather and some sexy kings..

    They are very spacious, more so then even a standard F150. If you can handle the 8mpg on a good day then go for it, great trucks.

    Lol. My tacoma isn't that great. I get about 375 out of a full tank.. Supposedly the 2017 raptors are gonna have a twin turbo v6 and get low 20's... There is also a new titan coming out that looks pretty cool. I get real wishy washy, so who knows. I'm gonna try and be real aggressive with paying off this truck and see what happens over the next year or so..
