    I take it the edges of the material match up pretty well on a larger surface like the hood or roof?

    I would think that the roof being a much larger surface area might make it easier to do. The only tricky spot will probably be the front near the windshield but you should be able to tuck it up under the rubber lip

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    Got the AluCab Exp 2 installed! Now I am off to the Pisgah Forest!

    I will find out for you. This is at AVO (Ashville Vehicle Outfitters), I am looking to do some work with them when I get moved up here. Awesome group of guys, super cool. That truck with the camper is kickass. It has the new OME BP coils on it and man they ride smooth!!!

    Decided against going retrofit as I really don't have the free time to fiddle with it nor do I wanna spend the money on housings/projectors/lamps and risk effing something up. Ended up getting a pair of DEPO with black trim and gonna toss in some Osram Night Breakers and put LED's in the DRLs and corner lamps. :notsure: Got the DEPOs for $215 (plus getting 10% back - Discover card getting me 5% back and then they're matching that at the end of the year)

    Any good sight-seeing roads in or near Gainesville? I gotta spend the whole day on my own up that way, would like to do some exploring if there’s any good Forest Service roads or something. Easy hiking trails would be cool too.

    Yessir.
    Check out my signature pieces. Been doing a lot of fiddling with customization too.

    Thanks man, I'm gonna check out your basic walkthrough and see if it's something I can handle on my own before I order it lol. Heard so many good things, and now that I'm lugging 33's I kinda need it more.

    Yeah man. There are pre-made tunepacks from
    There are pre-made tunepacks from OV that offer modifications and improvements for different tire sizes, gear ratios, and fuel used.
    These offer improved driveability and some access to improvements. People are still waiting to see if he'll push out a performance and tow version -- which honestly, you can edit and make those yourself with vF.
    You can really open up your truck's access to low end torque, clean up airload control mapping, bump up fuel cut off, remove throttle limitations, and set shift points wherever you want. People are currently posting cool stuff about sorting out Torque control locking and unlocking to remove temp locks to keep things smooth. I'm currently seeing if I can turn my ECT into a more eco/traffic friendly mode.
    It's fun stuff. If you need anything let me know -- that includes asking about something you don't feel like sifting through the tuning threads if it'd help you!

    If you get into the game of doing tunes on other tacomas in the area let me know. One member is in Louisiana that's the closest one that'll flash. Feel like someone in the georgia area would do quite well

    I am actually! Willing to drive to meet you, and build something out/get you flashed up with a good tune. I started a thread here in the GA region forum. It's in my signature. The pricing I had to really keep consistent with the other regional tuning people, but still better than $800+ hardware+learning curve, or pedal commander, if you want a one and done drastic improvement + options to upgrade at a later date (say you get new gears or decide to add a gearlocking tow mode)

    Holy crap yes I'm gonna find the ovtune thread that tracks this and tag you. The guy from Louisiana is great but he's 6 hours away.

    Also im tech stupid. Plus I don't have a pc. I will NEVER play with tunes. So it is a much better thing for me to just get someone who's already on it

    Dope, yeah I knew a thread like that existed but never found it.
    Yea, you can just send me a message if you want to coordinate and work something out.

    The one thing that is harder than learning the tech honestly, is keeping up with the threads about updates!

    Will also be hitting you up in the next two weeks or so. I actually did some searching on here and google to see if anyone was doing this in Georgia for us taco guys but couldn't find anything. Glad I just saw this cause I have a mac, and this is gonna make things 1000x easier on me lol

    I mean, some people download boot camp on their macs to be able to run programs for PCs... So it's not impossible! ;)
