    First time using the new gopro with a polarized lens. Video quality and color saturation is so much better, just need to get a gopro curve so the video image isn't shaky when I'm moving.

    Those are stock from a 2010 Tacoma. I did have BHLM a few years back and I did those myself.

    Those were wheelers alloys 16x8

    Brakes have to be shaved for them to fit without spacers.

    is it a bad idea to use spacers in off-road applications? (honest question)

    allpro long travel, shackle flip with ome dakars, cruisin offroad bumpers and sliders, 4.88 gears with arb's front and rear, budbuilt skids.
    Bunch of the long travel guys jump their trucks and rip through whoops with spacers on the back. Thats way more abuse then rock crawling and trail wheeling.

    Don't get the spacers that just slide on. If you do intend to get those, get some extended lugs.

    Get some spacers like spidertrax or all-pro. I have the All-Pro ones on the rear to almost match the width on the front.

    Hey man what fittings did you use to run your air hose through your bumper? I am putting a tool box in the back of my truck and going to put my Air Compressor in that, but I am not sure what I should use to mount a quick disconnect through the wall of the tool box. I know it is thin so I just want to make sure it is a firm hold.

    Just go to your local hardware store and put some stuff together. That's what I did to make it work.

    Okay thanks. I wasn't sure if it was that simple or not.


    Hey one more question. How did you end up wiring your Air compressor? If I remember correctly you wired it through your blue sea fuse box, but read in a few places that it is better to wire it directly to the battery.

    Thanks for any information! I am having a hard time getting answers for this.
