Thanks for the reply. I assumed that was the case but just wanted to double check. RCI also emailed me back and said no issues jacking up the truck with their skid plate installed.

I usually rotate my own tires and currently jack the front of my truck up on the front crossmember under the engine after removing the factory plastic skid plates. I'd like to get an aftermarket skid plate like the RCI, Rival, etc with the access panels. Anyone that has these, can you still jack...

I mostly use my truck to commute and the occasional forest service road. I saw another member use the term "softroading" and I think that perfectly describes my use case. With that said, I did no lift and installed 285/70R17 tires (33" tires) on Icon wheels. Everything clears without issue and...

Nice truck! Do you have any pictures of your truck with the SSW wheels before the long travel kit? I really like the look of those wheels.

I installed the OEM tonneau cover and it did lower the side rails. I have the Rough Country cab side molle panel and it fits fine and clears the tonneau cover (the cab rail doesn't get moved with the tonneau cover). I just had to trim a little bit of the bed mat to clear the lower mounting points.

Nice truck! I personally think tires and wheels make a huge difference in the look and function of a truck. 285/70r17 size tires will fit with no lift. You can go up to 35" tires pretty easily with a lift, but if you want practical I would stay with 285's. The 285's will fit on your stock wheels...

Fog lights should be mounted low to be most effective. Also, lights on the hood would be blinding for oncoming drivers.

Don't feel bad, I did the same thing but on my driveway during the first oil change. Didn't realize that 0w-20 is basically water and spilled it everywhere. Luckily I had already ordered a Fumoto valve and installed it at the first oil change so subsequent oil changes have been mess free.

Now that it's been a few months, any more thoughts on the Fox shocks? I've been thinking about a set but they're spendy.

No, you will not rub

It's incredibly annoying. I drive past at least 6 school zones on my way to work and the warning drop downs are more distracting than helpful.

Sorry, I have no personal experience with the Trailhunter suspension or the OEM Fox suspension so I don't think I can answer your question.

The Toyota website seems to call them "position sensitive" sometimes, but not always. Definitely strange. I wonder if Bilstein would give you any info since they're manufacturing the shocks. https://www.toyota.com/trucks/trailhunter/

I waited 6 months for my Tacoma to arrive at the dealer. In that time I saved up money and bought the first mods I wanted to do. I started adding things to my truck the first week I had it.

I think like any hobby, you have to save your money and spend according to what makes sense for you and your situation. Personally, my truck is my highest priority hobby (and always has been) so I set aside some money in savings for truck mods. Of course, my mortgage, bills, food, and family...

The Trailhunter OME shocks appear to be similar to (if not exactly) the OME MT64 line of suspension. The MT64 line of shocks do not have internal bypass zones. It's a high pressure monotube shock similar to what Fox and others sell. The OME BP51 line of shocks have the internal bypass zones...

I have not been tuned by OTT, but for another reference point the tuning for my 2018 F150 was somewhere around $750. This was a few years ago and included the module to tune at home. So $650 seems to be in a fair price range even if it doesn't include access to tune it yourself. I'm looking...

If you're considering the Fox 2.5 or King shocks, then I'd recommend talking to AccuTune Offroad. They can custom tune the shocks based on your driving style. They tuned my Fox 2.5's and I'm happy with how they turned out. Just keep in mind that they aren't softer than my TRD OR shocks, but they...

I'm hoping these guys come out with an auxiliary tank soon: https://longrangeamerica.com/waitlist/1741898750869x885361069156728800
