    You should also have a tow hook in the front, but this is a great option in the rear. 1444360813282-1521528133.jpg

    Your truck takes 6 qts as well? I thought normal Tacoma's only took 5 qts and sense I had that Supercharger it took another quart.

    Yeah I really been wanting one of those. And I've got the hook, it's just behind and above the plastic valence... So whenever anything is pulled with it the strap will probably cause serious issues with the valence...

    Manual says 5.5qt but with OEM filter or one of equivalent size it takes 6 to hit the full mark. Most other filters are smaller then the Toyota D3.

    Well have a little bit of an update on the sway bar! There is only a little bit more body roll which I expected, but it feels better on turns without the sway bar even with that little bit more body roll, to me at least. My front suspension feels so much better and softer without the damn thing. All in all should have taken it off as soon as I got my suspension on. I like it a lot!

    I started a thread here about changing the LCA bushings (OEM, ES, Whiteline). I only have the passenger side finished but so far so good. @chowwwww and @DukesTaco were also talking about them.

    Yup. It's been only 1 day without mine and I feel the same way you do.

    With an inch or two of lift mine wont reach the LCA anymore.

    I've been looking for some quick disconnects but no one makes them anymore.

    I have some i think still..never used them. Just Heim joints and bushings. Got them off a dude on TTORA.

    Never found the need for them really once i lowered stuff on the bed rack though.

    I know I've seen it in this thread before, but cannot seem to find it. Does anyone remember where you can get a switch panel for the headliner. To place OTRATTW switchs up there?

    but that then makes three(3) mounting points and much stronger than just hanging out off the frame. I fitted a Chevy hitch using steel (same width as frame) and it's bolted through the bumper

    I put mine up all the way too with fresh leafs. However I did the thinner 4 holes for the lower mounting spot and the "hockey stick" end op to the right.

    Wish i had taken pics of when I just took the bushings out, was a real pain to get the rubber out and then the sleeves/washers back in.

    How much total lift? I have 3" now and no problems bolting it up :notsure:

    I was thinking about switching my blinker and parking lights around and using these LEDs for my new blinker location so people can see them during the day. I'm worried that these would melt my housing if I had it on for too long.

    @sander1036 has a custom switch panel in the headliner. I believe he's just got one of these:

    https://otrattw.net/Six-Position-V-Series-Switch-Holder.html

    with some custom fiberglass work to build up around it. No one makes a pre-built panel that fits up there as far as I know.
