    thanks! It tells me i'm doing things right.

    i traded my OR hood +$450 for it. cheaper than buying and painting a new one and nobody wants to buy a flat hood unless it was involved in an accident.

    Finally edited my video of the 15 TRD Pro suspension and Headstrong AAL install. I focused more on the AAL since that's the hardest part of the entire install.

    Excited that www.Tacomabeast.com decided to add my So Cal meet video on their website. Thanks to @Dangerousd1987 for giving me the idea as I was tired from working on my suspension install and holiday stuff that day.

    I've been watching your videos from the beginning. I enjoy them bc you use relevant and cool products and your truck is sick! I wish you would go a little more in depth on some of the installs though. A little more step by step. And maybe some after install reviews, especially with your new suspension. I think I missed out on deal but would love to hear how it compares to stock. Keep it up!

    Thanks for being a subscriber!

    I spent about 8 hours on this install over 2 days and unfortunately tried to record over that time but I had technical difficulties. I was either trying to figure out how I can install something or looking up on my phone some more tips killing battery. The first night I was up until 1am (lol) so I had only 1 outlet but my phone died. It was either light or the phone. Same thing happened the next day trying to get the fronts. Phone died and it was dark. :(

    I tried to capture as much pertinent info as I could but really want to focus on the AAL because I hadn't seen any vids about what to do, just pics. In fact before I even had the video up a TW member here PM'd me for advice as he had spend 2 hours and gotten nowhere on the AAL. I wrote my reply what to do and he got it fixed!

    So in the end I called it a vlog vs a how to/diy as I knew I missed each step. The manual I linked in my description to my blog site is actually pretty good. The AAL instructions weren't as detailed but it really didn't have to be.

    I'll definitely try to get more detail on the next diy...spoiler alert... "ditch lights"

    I'm heading to Holy Jim tomorrow to do some offroad testing on the ride and will do a 'update video'. In fact I need to do one for ALL my mods since the beginning.

    Again thanks for the feedback and sub!

    What's your feedback after that trip?
    Is it everything you were looking for?

    same feeling as it was on road. firmer until hitting big bumps and it softens.

    great bang for the buck upgrade. i was going to go with 5100s so I'm sure these were better.

    Well there was no lime green option sooooo:D. I like bright shinny things but I've actually thought the sand color looks best. especially with black wheels and trim:drool:

    Do you want your rear license plate shine bright like a diamond? Check out how I did it.
