In the market for new tires. Contacted a few of my local shops in the San Diego region and nobody has a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers in a 285 C load. Evan's Tire said there is zero availability west of Arkansas..... I'm sure it's related to COVID-19 (heard their plant in Georgia may be/was...

I don't think Trail center console trim works on SR5's because of the physical transfer case level that sticks out.

You do not need the Canbus. It also comes with the relays but you do not need those either.

I'll take a set in black.

Judging by what you have written for your location, I bet the sun has something to do with that. You're "supposed" to replace them once a year at least anyway.

Thanks for the info. Being in SoCal any rubber part that sees sun for extended periods of time usually starts to break down fairly quickly. Very impressed with the OE quality. I thought maybe the aftermarket had something better but will shop around with different dealers to get a good price on...

A little over 2 years and my wipers have started to streak. Any recommendations on what to replace the factory ones with? They held up pretty well until recently and my dealer wants and arm and a leg to replace both. A quick search on Amazon has Bosch, Rain-X, and Michelin stealth with good...

His name was Jason. No idea if he's on tacomaworld. I'll assume it's the same guy.

Took it to a local guy in North County. San Marcos area. PM me if you want his contact info. Great guy, very knowledgeable, and charged me a reasonable price up front. All work was done at his place. 20k miles later and I've had no issues. Wherever you decide to go make sure you get an...

If getting a lift is that much of an issue, get a set of Bilstein 5100's and call it a day. If you're at or bellow a 2 inch lift UCA's are not a must. I will say even a mild lift will look a little weird if you do not get wide/taller tires. 275's would be perfect imo. About UCA,s they DO NOT...

Agree. Quite frankly when it comes to the mechanicals of our rigs we probably know more than the techs working on it. Just a case by case scenario. It was lucky that the sales managers recognized you. If the first dealership doesn't work, I recommend hoping from one to the next until you find...

Looking forwards to seeing this. A lot of people have done the overland style vehicle before but nothing quite like this. Regardless I can't wait to see the final product.

Worked with him before. I ran the first ever prototypes for his billet "TEQ" badges for the 5th gen's front and back. Really awesome stuff. All machined billet aluminum with painted surfaces. You can tell how much money and time goes into these. He's a really great guy to work with(went back and...

Wow. Those look great. Almost shadow chrome looking. Any idea on what you're going to do about the center cap? You could just paint the hub black and leave it off, or maybe go with the black TRD center cap

Dirt King is a great company. I wouldn't worry about strength. The billet UCA's ICON makes are really for looks. Of course billet is strong, but the boxed design is more than plenty. They have been making LT stuff on prerunner trucks for years and are a proven design. I'm running the heim joint...
