    Very nice! I’ve been looking for some seat covers and nothing has really tickled my fancy although these look good. I’ve had TJM in the past which have been great, not cheap but sturdy and can take a bit of wear and tear which is what I look for in a 4x4 seat cover.

    hey all -

    Does anyone have experience adding the RCI full skid kit to a truck with a Toytec/Eibach front coilovers? (TACEBCS)

    I have them on the lowest notch, and am wondering if I should try moving them up a clip when I add the skids.

    I am putting in a heavy duty OME leaf pack in the back, so I'm not worried about the back sagging with the weight.

    But the front coilovers and extra weight of skids, especially with the beefy rear kit, am I going to have way too much rake? I love rake, but not a silly rake.

    A similar question to OP, but more of a gradual approach. I plan to get the full armor outfit eventually, but still have about 20k miles before my tires need replacing. When they go I'm moving to 33" skinnies, upgraded suspension, armor, etc.

    In the meantime, I'd like to add a hybrid bumper. Lil B's is 105#s. Has anyone added something similar on stock suspension and measured any significant sag in the front? I won't be adding the winch until adequate springs are installed with a lift.

    Same ones I have. I love them. They are easy to clean after a trip with the two dogs in the back seat.
