    I installed my air intake tube. Only engine mod and no noticeable increase of intake noise. I like the fact it is all smooth airflow from the filter to the throttle body.

    Blew out a stock shock last time 4 wheeling. Decided to go the 5160/6112 route. Also swapped the flat runner/ nerf for something a little beefier. But, mostly needed something with a bit of a drop down so my wife could climb in easier lol

    Did I? I thought I "liked" the comment. I always use oem parts and have for 85k miles over the last 9 years. I'm aware several have run that power stop kit and the oem pads could use additional bite at times. You can use whatever parts you want.:hattip:

    Just curious if you had opinions on the advantages of OEM over PowerStop, the same way people bite the bullet for OEM transfer case oil. Your response helped ... both will serve well. :cheers::drunk:

    I do owe you lunch for all of your assistance ... or at least a hot dog up at Scottsdale during a car show.

    Not mine, borrowed the idea from reddit. Plug is utilizing a bottle opener and an existing bolt to mount it. In the works though.

    Isn’t that technically the piece that you use to trace your hole?

    Reddit post said it was a bottle opener. I don't recall what kind of template they're including with the kit these days. I thought it was paper.

    I used the Viofo harness that plugs in at your fuse panel under the dash, and ran the wires up tucked behind the weather strip and then along the windshield partially under the headliner.

    https://www.viofo.com/products/a119-v3-with-gps-2k-25601600p-30fps-quad-hd-car-dash-cam

    The fuse panel harness allows parking mode. The rear view mirror did not in my truck because I do not have the home link wires(?) I did not have power after tuned off anyways.

    I have this one and mounted the outlet on the passenger kick panel. It is called "400w anytime mod" basically allows you to use the 400w inverter when driving and the outlet taps into it so you can have it inside the cab instead of just the bed outlet.

    The question was, What did you do to your 3rd gen Tacoma? Your answer was “beat the hell out of it on the Rubicon”. My reply was “yeah you did”. No, I did not go along with the jeep so I could pull his ass out. I was just agreeing with your comment, it sounds like you are getting bent over my my reply.

    OK many thanks, I was hoping it was something not to involved that didn't require you to already have the 400w inverter, as my SR5 is not equipped with one...

    Nice installations.

    Okay I bought this setup a couple/few years ago. What's preventing the install, is a mental block on the outlet grip-tabs. They look like they require 3/16" of material plate to mount without rattling around. I can imagine that center console is about 1/16" thick.

    Is your outlet held tight? Did you add material to prevent rattle?

    Best looking wheels on a 2nd/3rd gen one day i will have a set hardest part is deciding which color since all 3 look great. Ever considered a black trim ring?
