Hi all. A couple questions. 1. Are there any issues installing a defiant light bar once the 1.5" is installed? Roger didn't know about that inquiry. 2. I currently have the daystar 2.5-1.5...the fj set up I am getting is coming with a 2.25" procomp spacer (on front shocks)...just want to hear...

Yea good call. I guess I could sneak onto a dealer lot and do that. Would need the dimensions of the bar as well. Emailed westin a couple days ago with no reply..ill figure it out

It is quite similar, except this one curves upward instead of straight across. I might go with the Defiant if it doesnt fit...would like to see if anyone has tried this yet though. I might be the first. Our front ends are so similar I cant see why not. Any insight anybody? thanks, JD

Hey guys. I'm wondering if the westin off road light bar for the Tacoma will fit the 4th gen runner..i want to get rid of my Aries and put that on! Has anyone done this??

I have the same problem with my left head light..the moisture comes and goes. It used to drive me nuts. Thought it was the seals that go around the bulb sockets, but they appear fine. I just live with it now. Would like to fix it if possible though. JD

I was thinking about doing my rims also...I'm wondering how well the plasti dip holds up against weather, salt etc...still looking nice?.. And you had to do the standard clean, sand, prime yeah? JD

Bergs, you offer an interesting point. I have an everlasting hum from my rear diff, ever since I bought it. You have me wondering if that is contributing to my avg 14mpg. That avg. Is hand calculated, and I have seen no change from stock to now..it has 75,000 miles. I've done plugs, air filter...

Great thanks. So I guess I can still expect to see an extra inch (if I'm lucky) of lift over the 2.5" daystar spacer if I go that route?...it would just be good to get it up a bit more. Only doing some moderate off roading.. Was having trouble getting my Sig to show up. Didn't realize it was...

great write up! Though I do have a question. I currently have the DS 2.5-1.5 installed. If I don't want to put it to waste (considering upgrading my suspension), what are my best options so that i can keep the ds. I think I understand that the OME wont work with it(without some major work), as...

My average is 14 mpg. Sounds like crap compared to everyone else on this forum...you and I both...thats approximately 310 mi. Per tank.(500 km) .when light comes on (V6, 2003 Sr5. Stock 265 70r16...k+n air filter. New plugs no change..negligible change with the 2.5-1 daystar lift installed...)...
