    My first two Tacomas and the majority of the mods I did to them.

    Fifth truck around I did it right and only did the basic things I wanted done and made sure they were done right.

    Not serious. I don't really know much about bumpers, or guns.

    Trying to be funny.

    X2 and I have too much more important mods to spend my time researching, than to worry about selling the tube steps and buy something else.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Cheapo seat covers, I installed them, hated their look and threw em in the trash. Maybe Wet Okoles are nicer, but all the seat covers I have ever seen look like shit when installed and used.

    Thanks to all you that've done this in the past and complained about it on here, my first "steps" are going to be sliders.

    So. You know. Thanks and stuff. :cheers:

    What do you mean no travel left? Did you put the coils on the 5100's? And I am trying to decide between the cheaper LR or the TC UCAs. Or other options. I'm not terribly picky.

    No, I put them on OME struts. Doing that type of lift uses up quite a bit of the downward wheel travel.

    I just ordered LR UCAs for my new truck. Sold my TC UCAs to my buddy. Now he has to deal with the squeaks. :D

    No regrets... yet.

    I put quite a chunk of change into modding my last car. Suspension, brakes, wheels (x2), intake, etc... only to trade it for this truck.

    I'm duct taping my wallet closed for awhile. I am saving for a bass boat. Screw modding the truck, I want something to tow!

    Antennax antenna. Literally crap on a stick unless you live in the big city (I don't). Thought it'd be a good idea since the OME kept snagging stuff and coming close to the wind shield (too close for comfort). Planning on just hacking off a few inches of the OME and sticking it back on.
