    Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Same thing, just requires a different approach and a little more work.

    Replaced my stock 185k mile shocks with ones with 30k on them that I got off marketplace for 10 bucks. Another 10 bucks for fresh bushings, I think its worth it to get me by until sometime next year when I lift it.

    Just had to connect to Wi-Fi to update to the latest version and then used the xgauge feature on it to scan for all of the Toyota supported gauges and saved it on to the unit

    Thanks haha, I use black NH oil undercoating (very similar to fluid film) every fall. Messy to work on but I'll take it any day over losing it to rust!

    If you plan on keeping the truck stock, I would order some Bilstein 1500’s for the front & back and call it a day.

    I got a very similar setup. Mine says to jack the lower control arms to ride height. The pic on Amazon actually shows the guy with 3 floor jacks.

    Installed the big brake upgrade on my red truck. Got a set of Strictly Street caliper brackets and got the calipers, pads, and rotors that have maybe 200 miles on them from another X-Runner buddy

    Finally wired my fog lights and blinkers on my ARB bumper. Only took 5-6 years lol. My RC Tacoma was not plug and play with the lights so I had pull out some butt connectors, heat shrink and loom. Clean install.

    Changed the SAR today you do not have to unbolt the mounting bracket btw.

    Changed my spark plugs that were overdue.

    Last month I got the KO 3’s installed love them!
