    The toytec suspension is stated to be at 3", so it is just over 3".

    I'll get some side shots on level ground ASAP. It is pretty even, so I expect the back is ~2"

    IMG_8809.jpg IMG_8810.jpg Bed cover. It’s exactly like the Tyger one, but was $20 less expensive on Amazon and doesn’t have the brand marking on the back Shipping said 2 weeks, but came in 2 days. Highly recommend.

    Welcome back! I sold my Tacomas a year ago and left for a bit. Well, even owning two other trucks, I had to get a third one (Tacoma) and get back to the forum. I missed having a Toyota and just felt incomplete. This is a great place for information and a good bunch of people.

    Put on my painted front grille, and I Painted the front badge.... The next step in "de-chroming" will be a painted rear bumper.

    It's the right color, but off a bit. Assuming because it is new paint, and the truck is 6 years old...

    Added som interior lights.....
    One in each footwell, one if the cupholder, and put two LEDS in the center console shining to the back, so it illuminates the vent opening to the back seats....

    Here is a pic of the cup holder - I also got a cup holder insert from a forum member. It is 3D printed, fits in snugly, and allows for bigger drinks.....
