Good for you I guess. Speaker upgrades are a great idea because the ones that come in the truck don't work at all. Total junk.
The lift is also a highly intelligent move. You can come back here after it's done and get advice on how to make it stop squeeking, etc. Also, you may want to toss out those tires that came with it and replace them with some big, unbearably noisy ones. You should be good to go after that.

Sarcasm eh...

The speakers are shit, even the JBL's. Now maybe some folk are used to just listening to talk radio and if that's the case, these speaker are perfect. But for some of us that like to feel the music sort of speak, an up grade is a must. At the very least a good quality amp.

The dealer I am working with to order a 2018 Tacoma told me that all Toyotas across the board will have TSS and with that lifts will affect the TSS features. He told me that his dealership will not be doing lifts any more, and they do a lot, and his thought was that shops would not be doing them either. So lifting is still of course doable, but it will lose the sensor functions and void warranty. We discussed if aftermarket shops would do it and he cautioned me that some might but it becomes a huge legal/financial liability if an accident were to happen and they were to be potentially found at fault. This is the GM of the dealership and is being helpful not trying to blow me off. Thoughts?

Your dealership is retarded. Lifting a vehicle does not affect the forward sensing radar. Radar does not function like a laser that is aimed at a single point. Radar fans out and covers an area. Why do you think your radar detector goes apeshit anytime you are in front of, beside, behind, or in the general vicinity of a vehicle with this system? I shall answer, because radar covers an area, not a point.

Any change in the elevation of the sensor will effect the sensor. The system is expecting to see the ground a fixed distance away on level terrain. That said, lifting the truck won't cause it to spontaneously catch fire or turn into a Chevy, or some other horrible event.
But it may cause unexpected behaviors unless you disable it.
At some point in the next couple of months we will see aftermarket support of some sort with a bypass unit.

False. Radar doesnt work like that. If anything, the adaptive cruise control will react sooner because the vehicle is higher causing the radar to pan further out.

Lifting the vehicle wont void the warranty and I dont see how raising the vehicle a couple inches would affect TSS

prohunter4 · Dec 7, 2017

3 dealers including the one I bought my truck from are no longer doing lifts.

peteri · Dec 7, 2017

Who the fuck has their dealer install their lift?

Lucky-BFMC · Dec 7, 2017

My '18 Sport has 3" in the front and 1" in the back....it was done by the dealer. The TSS stuff works as it should from what "testing" I've done. The radar cruise control is fantastic. I've selected the 3 different following distances and each is a noticeable difference so that certainly works. It's told me to brake when I've gotten too close to another car. I haven't tried the automatic high beams yet but that's not something I plan to use anyway, there's a button you have to press to enable it fyi.

For your info some dealers do half ass lifts and sell the tucks lifted new. The ones around here aren't doing it anymore.

My response wasn't to question you or your ability to lift a truck in any means. I just want to make that clear

prohunter4 · Dec 7, 2017

No worries.

I had forgot about that. I figured it was people bringing lift kits to their dealer to install

prohunter4 · Dec 7, 2017

I hear ya. People around here would buy a lifted Prius if they sold one.

Sorry. I had no idea that I had to foolishly modify my truck only to void my warranty to be on this site. My bad.

There’s a lot wrong with that middle sentence.
