    Yes. Learning the Tacoma has been a ride. Thank you for everyone's patience. There will be many more threads to come.

    I need to start making more money. Once I have enough saved up, I'll buy a Gladiator.

    Nope. But it is probably cheaper and requires way less swearing.

    just for fun i thought id add that going from a simple non charged shock to a set of charged shocks with 3/4" or larger shafts can actually give an inch or more of lift. those suckers can have 100+ lbs of extension force each.
