    Not today but last thing I completed. I stuffed dual 34Pc-1500s into my 2014 Tacoma. Might do a full write up later this weekend.

    Painted and carpet lined my canopy over the last week. I went with the cheap "colour matching", it's not perfect, but better than blue.

    Thanks for the info. Looks like my HU doesn't support this functionality. In my settings menu there are no options for changing displays.

    Also, seems there are no new software updates available for my year as well.

    I'm new to TW so I'm way behind on these mods.
    Anyway, intermittent wiper mod complete.
    Used a switch from an 09 Camry .

    Just put in my order for Fox 2.5 remote reservoir adjustable coil overs for the front. And Fox 2.0 remote reservoir adjustable shocks for the rear! Can't thank the guys at @AccuTune Offroad enough! Tyler helped me out and was a ton of help, go to them with any suspension needs.

    Yours is a 2014? I did this upgrade on my '14 last year.

    I traded my truck in for a 4x4 '15, which is why I had to redo it.

    Hey guys, I've had a 3 Gen Tacoma for like 4 months now and I can't stand it. What kind of MPG y'all getting?

    And yes, I'm running Ovtune.

    Finally got around to installing the Firestone airbags and Daystar cradles. I’ve had them for about a month, got them new from another member. I like to psych myself up for projects. They turned out well, starting w/about 15psi, got rid of the ass-sag and seems to ride very well. I’ll load up the hitch mounted bike rack tomorrow and see if 15psi is still enough.
    I used the air-line union to equalize the bags and mounted the valve in the drivers side bed cubby.

    I redid my upper limit strap mounts so they’re | | Instead of / \

    before I failed to realize geometry and shit and that when one side of the axle goes higher, it pivots and allows the other side do go lower. Not anymore.

    Knowing this I measured how I have my lower shock mounts done and will cut them off and weld new ones on. Once the limit straps hit, I only have 9.25” of exposed shock shaft. I’m going to redo them so I have 11” exposed shaft. I will gain 1.75” of uptravel this way.
