    Newbie here. Been looking around for a bit figured would just pop in and say hey. Present truck is 2018 trd. 285 70 17 wheels with 3 inch lift.

    Prior was a 2000 trd offroad. 246k and 19.5 years later figured it was time a few yrs ago lol. Hope the 18 will be as bullet proof. Do miss the mt though. Anyway will post a pic when I figure out how. Me and tech don't mix.

    ..knew that would be the 1st question. I sold the old one out right and was basically at the mercy of the dealer. They were going to try and find one but I had no vehicle so.....Had no idea the at was this annoying. Lived in CO and the mt was a blast. Moved to Austin for work and figured wth when I sold it. Traffic sucks so bad it may be nice to just hit the gas. Needless to say I miss the std. Live and learn man lol!!

    I kept it real simple. Had the dealer install it to keep the warranty in place. They had a ready lift 3/2. Little more than 4wheel obviously but the service Mgr, parts guy and the accessories chick said if they did it the warranty on the suspension was still good. Can't argue with that. Figure in a year or so will go with bilsteins. I got a take home car at work so the truck only has 24k on it. I get closer to 40k will do it then.
