    Arizona may have different laws. I know in California you "have to" have the covers on. Of course :rolleyes:

    Dont worry i planned on posting pics, i love trying to share my excitement when i actually get something done on my truck.. :D haha. Im trying to decide what im gonna do with these 881s to get a 3" lift out of them. Either use the 1" spacers i'll have or set the 5100s on the middle setting. Advice?

    Don't pre load the 881s man. Ride will suckkkkkkk

    really no way to get 3'' outa them without the ride sucking tho..but if you pre load them on the middle setting, it'll be closer to 4'' of lift..and you can put your head between your legs and kiss you CVs good bye!

    Thats because the plastic trim has orange on it as well. I know with the 01-04s you can get a 4runner plastic trim that is clear, but im not sure about 95-97
