Today I did the swing out delete mod by bending the crap out of the mount. So I mounted my plate to the tail gate and put on a temp light till my bolt lights come in

 

Put a Hi-Lift lock knob on my jack.

 

RGB Halos headlights are done

 

I'm happy with a 2009 Access Cab myself, on its way to 21k miles with new Michelin Defenders, charcoal Gen3 allow wheels, TPMS sensors (preprogrammed and lug nuts have arrived. Today, I completed installing the brackets from the Redline Tuning QuickLift ELITE kit, and should be able to find another pair of hands to install the struts tomorrow. LED interior and license bulbs installed last week. Spiffing it up, m aking things easier...

 

Thanks for the suggestion and support! It’s posted there now. Cheers

 

Installed a 270 Shadow Awning on my pop up camper. Got dark before it was all buttoned up so no money shot. This will have to suffice for the time being.

 

WARNING DO NOT PURCHASE
I decided a few days ago I wanted a heads-up display so I talked to some people that had aftermarket ones and purchased this one from Amazon. I am still learning how it works but it is MASSIVE and super bright and distracting, also, due to the Tacoma's shallow dash, anywhere that would've been convenient is too angled to be used, it's still up to you weather you buy it or not but that was my experience.

My 2011 is in for a frame replacement. The frame just came in and they started the work. Dealer said there are other parts that need to be replaced. Most covered under the recall. He did say my front struts were worn and should be replaced. I have Billstein 5100's all around on this truck. Dealer said they could do this replacement at cost with no labor charge. Is it worth doing all 4 while they have it apart?

 

most def do it now. just paying for parts and no labor thats a no brainer.

 

i'll keep an eye out for two! one for me and one for you haha. you do the same too?!

 

I bought the truck with the billy 5100's already installed. Rear is not lifted and front it lifted just enough to level. I am in New England so drive in the snow in the winter but only street driving otherwise. 5100's a noticable upgrade over stock struts?

 

I had a 2016 Taco Sport that I swapped stocks for 5100's. Ride was much better plus you get the level benefit. Personally I would tell the dealer that I would provide the 5100's. "Cost" at a dealer is going to be at least full retail price. I would buy my own online and save a few $$$. Also make sure they set the fronts to be at the 2nd notch so the truck is still level. If they put it on the 1st notch it will be at stock height. I plan on putting 5100's on my 2008 soon all the way around and set at level. Another budget option is buying very low mileage take-off springs and Bilstein struts/shocks from a 2020 or 2021 Tacoma Off Road which also provides a more level and better ride.

 

Deal! I'm on the alert list for when they go back in stock.

 

Didn’t think this deserved its own thread so I’m asking it here… Has anyone ever been out to Knoxville OHV in NorCal? Wanting to do some light off-roading this weekend and wondering how it is.

 

where did you get the TPMS?

 

Might wanna ask here:

Yes i would say so. I bought 5100s and felt that it rode much better. And as mentioned, you can adjust the height of the front springs.
