    Mowed some yards today done great pulling the little zero turn lol. Still happy as can be! Wheels and tires are next and tinting windows tomorrow. Going up on the coils and going to see what the 5100s are set on and see where I'm at right now can tell it's not much but at least it's sitting a little higher than stock. Oh and of course got to do LEDs a lot of work to do! Can't wait with my 12 year old boy going to be a blast! Thinking about black toolbox... not sure yet.

    I have a dclb with a 3.5. The only time I really notice the truck hunting for gears is on the freeway trying to maintain speeds over 74. I tend to keep it in sport mode in the city and ect in the mountains. Overall, I think its a good truck.

    OK..... I started using the ECT and have found the truck drives much smoother. Not doing a lot of needless shifting back and forth and the shifts seem to be smoother when they happen at the higher rpm. I think ECT may be resolving the hunting issue that I feel from having so many gears in the trans for me. For my area the truck drives much better as the longer shift points seem to keep the torque up and handle the hilly fwys without downshifting.......Much better drive. I will keep playing with it but just a few days of driving with it on really shows those tall tires and the hilly terrain can use that extra bit of torque......helps a bunch.
    Still haven't got to do much street practice with it yet.

    I've noticed the same thing, especially in speed shift.

    @RobP62 gave a great review of our Xtreme PRO H11 LED Headlight Kit in his Low and High Beams. I'm sure he'll chip in here with some commentary as well, but we gathered a few of his posts together into a review on our site: 2017 Toyota Tacoma H11 LED Kit Review
