    want to go full spring under kit

    I don’t know really what to do because I have a one peace drive shaft and the slip yoke goes into tail shaft of the transmission . do you recall what you did on this truck in the photos.


    Or did you guy just limit OEM one peace drive shaft on that truck with limit straps if so how much down travel can you pull with out messing up the drive line


    I would hate to have to make a two peace drive shaft just for spring under kit


    What do you think is best for the 5lug

    Safe to say if I don't find that harness or the white box... I'm fuct? Toyota was pretty quick to tell me I didn't have it. I had to check what year it was because I was pretty sure the gd truck was made after 1999 and should most definitely have it. Gonna do this tomorrow...

    yep..
    I believe so..

    From what I've seen, if its an 05-15 and you have power locks, you should have at least the harness there.

    For what it is worth, my truck has been wired for fog lights, cruise control, and a plug and play swap for intermittent windshield wipers. It just came without any of those options. I think if you are in the same boat, you might be in luck.

    idk if this has been shared on TW yet, but I like it so much I have to share:

    https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Stop-Or...21149615&sr=8-1&keywords=shark+tank+drop+stop

    This thing has saved me countless times from food, cell phone, chew can, etc. falling between the seat and center console and ending up under the seat. It is well made and durable, and has a slit sewed in it to fit over the seat belt receptacle, keeping it in place.
    My life is much better since I bought it. Now, when I drop my cell phone or a renegade french fry gets loose, I look down and say "ahh yeah". :yes:

    We call 'em French fry stops. And they get just as nasty as you'd expect but are machine washable.

    It just catches all the stuff that would ordinarily fall in that crack. It's easier to pull the stop and toss it in the wash than get a vacuum in there. It's a foam filled sleeve w/ a slot for the seat belt.

    Here's a little something I came up with a while back. For those who hate the initial splatter that sometimes happens when you pull the oil drain plug. Oil on the floor and in your face....not good.

    My $4 fix. Works like a charm. Zero splatter. Wipe it out and use it again. Been doing this for more than a couple of years.

    Cut the bottom out....you're done.
