    I had that issue too. Just would lift the pedal with my foot.

    Now though the cc light won't even turn on.

    So I finally got my tracking info from All Pro, they had told Low Range it was sent out on Monday the 22nd but didn’t provide any shipping info. So I called Low Range again today and asked for it and they said they didn’t have it yet. Well I guess he called them 5 times and finally got ahold of someone to get the shipping info and guess what!? It wasn’t shipped out until this Thursday. Says it should be here on Thursday! Let’s hope it’s correct!

    Both should work. But I'll insert some sort of disclaimer...

    Rooting for ya man, All-Pro isn't exactly on everyone's nice list right now. Hopefully it all arrives on time and undamaged.

    I used to drive with my left foot under the clutch lifting it up while on long road trips and the CC on. Sucked :)

    Ordered their tube front bumper. Now I’m praying they don’t go under because only their skid plates work with their bumper o_O

    Yeah that seems to be the main complaint everyone has with them, that and bolt holes don't always line up @drr

    I’ll be livid if it’s damaged or wrong. It sucks that they are having such a hard time right now but they chose to move during the peak of sales season, not the most ideal time to do that.

    Thought you all might find the wording on this box funny. Doesn't really explain what it does but it fixed my headlight issue haha.

    I changed my spark plugs and cleaned the engine block a bit. Running the factory plugs after 231,000 miles. Needless to say the ride is better now.

    Original Tacoma: 6" lift, air bags in the rear, 17x9.5 XD Series rims w/ 35" Cooper STT Pro tires. Body Armor rear bumper with swing arm tire mount, TRD Exhaust, URD True Cold Air intake, TRD Front Brakes, RIGID INDUSTRIES grill and LED bar installed in it, LED Rear Lights, TracRack rack system, tool box. Sold the truck. Bought 2016 ram 2500 Laramie diesel. (7/2016) Picked up 97 Tacoma 4x4 Extended Cab 3.4L. Building motor now. (8/2017)

    When you say the back is a little low, are you referring to no head support? Or the lumbar support portion of the back? I’m 5-11 so not quite as tall so hopefully they’ll work out.

    no i didn't have to hold it. Just brought it up. Held itself so worked fine.

    But before i had to do that it would still turn on. Like before i figured out it was the pedal switch the Cruise would light up on the dash. Now it won't.

    That's weird about the light.

    With my old torsion spring I'd literally have to hold the pedal up with my foot if I wanted cruise control to stay engaged.

    If those are the original wires I'd go ahead and change those too.

    Yeah, took care of the wires. Arizona heat cooked all of the plastic, so everything was really brittle. It's amazing how much better the truck is running. It had developed a wicked shudder that I got used to over time. Runs like new now!

    Yeah All Poo has been on my shit list for a while now. Now that you can barely recognize my bumper as being from them I feel much better.

    You get my PM @Speedytech7 ?
