Idk? They do ride a bit stiffer than the stock hitachi that comes with the sr, not so “boaty” with a loaded bed. Still rides smooth either way, plus I got a killer deal like the other dude and the silver looks nice under the truck..

 

The issue I had when I was looking is I wanted 16” and most of them were sold in singles with a spare on it. For like, $250-$300. Just wild. Just got lucky with a cool guy who upgraded and who also (to be honest) had a built taco so I think he was trying to get just something out of them

 

I think the other dude was me and this makes me even more jazzed to get these puppies on

 

Decided to try a bed side molle panel. Mounted a fire extinguisher and small shovel.

 

AIR INTAKE FLOW ACCELERATOR

Easy install, does it make a difference?
Just reved it up in the driveway and you hear sudden intake of air.
Could be the filter.
Have some things to do tomorrow, let you know if I notice a difference.

Just got back from Long Island. First time putting the truck on the highway. Well worth the trip.

 

Love me some steamers. Straight up. No butter, hot sauce, nothin’. Oh, can’t forget the Yuengling Traditional Lager.

 

those are 17's

 

Bought some tires to keep the wheels collecting dust in my basement company... now to just get them mounted, balanced and throw them on the truck next week

 

Those are cherry stones!

 

Technically you are correct. But I’m from a part of the country that when we have a clambake a lot of the people don’t know a cherry stone from a Mrs Paul fried clam strip. Any steamed clam becomes a ‘steamer’. Guess I should have said “Love me some steamed clams!”.

 

Those do look soo tasty!

 

There were more than that, We bring a lemon, bottle of hot sauce and a clam knife with us. We each had a dozen on the half shell sitting on the boat before we headed back.

 

I’m considering installing interior led lights. The factory interior lights are not much better than using a candle. Also, I think I saw in this forum that replacing the license plate lights with led’s causes problems with seeing clearly via the rear camera. Is this an issue ?

 

I did it. I like it. Not any faster or any better mpg but shifts smoother and accelerates easier and that was the main goal. I also replaced the intake tube & filter with the K&N which is much more streamlined than the stock accordion. Sounds pretty good too up top but quieter down low. Wins all around.

 

No issues with my kit from CaliRaised and had it 3 years.

9-Piece Interior LED Light Kit For 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma – Cali Raised LED

 

Well worth it IMO. I did mine with a cheap set from Amazon; they've been working fine for ~ 2 years. Plan to blow a fuse somewhere in the swap process unless you are smarter than me since the LEDs have polarity.
Even though the kit had them, I did not replace the license plate lights as they don't help me see any better. Also think about whether you want to replace the vanity mirror lights - the LEDs can be so bright they shine in your eyes and you can't see the mirror. I replaced them on the drivers side as I don't care about the mirror but can use them for extra illumination, but left the passenger ones alone.

 

Replacing the interior LEDs does not *require* disconnecting the negative battery cable but more times than not you can cause at least fuse-blows if you do not.

Yes, the LED light can make the reverse camera glare trouble. Try Etsy ... https://www.etsy.com/listing/1374578372/license-plate-light-covers-for-toyota
