    CMC for 2019 Tacomas? Did you need one?

    With only 3 alignment shops on the island, sounds like you got your work cut out for you. Sharing my most recent spec sheet for reference here in CA. I’m running 295/70r17 on 17x9 -38 offset. 2.75” lift up front. ICON tubular delta joint and with 3.5 degrees of caster I don’t rub full lock...

    Electrical Dash Cam Discussion

    You could also extend the wires if your comfortable doing it, then keep it up top behind the overhead buttons. Heat shrink to clean it up then just run the usb cable to your dash cam.

    Sorry for late reply. The 12 pin connector was just in the original mirror. The mirror I ordered came with the original 10 pin connector and I could have just tapped into whatever wires were up top, but I felt a plug and play option would be better incase I needed to go back for whatever reason.

    Yea seller on eBay has em for most configurations depending on which mirror you have.

    cocodataco - 2018 TRDOR DCSB

    Was having issues with my garage remote and when I lost the clip I said F it and found a HomeLink mirror on eBay. Also got a plug and play cable. Much cheaper than getting the plug and play kit from Amazon. Works great.

    cocodataco - 2018 TRDOR DCSB

    Found them on Amazon, they’re similar to the rigid scene lights and threw on some laminx film to aid with bugs at camp. Might switch em to a full amber. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RZW1CPH/?tag=tacoma3g-20

    Decided to move the TEs to my 80 series build. Threw on the SCS F5s to bash on with 295s. Just needs some ARP lugs and it'll be set. Also if you're in the Bay Area hit up beeps offroad for your alignment needs. Gave me that OCD alignment with good specs. Got a few more mods left to install...

    Small trail damage a few weeks ago. I know I can get a replacement bumper cap but I was also looking for a reason to hop on a rear HC bumper. So the wait has started for a Brute force rear.

    Installed the snorkel upgrade Sy-klone 9001. I personally prefer this look over the ram head. Plus the added bonus of having a pre-filter. I will report how well It holds up. Last photo shows a new K&N filter versus the old one. I’m hoping by adding the pre-filter I will not need to switch to...

    Molle panels

    I personally like @Victory4x4 Molle panel because it doesn’t obstruct the factory rails like the Cali raised did. And it’s super solid.

    Molle panels

    I got a set from @Victory4x4. Was planning on mounting my propane tank to it, but it interferes with my Bruteforce bed cage. So I may look at mounting my Pro Eagle to it sideways or my shovel. But here's my only photo, sorry I took it at night.

    New RotoTrax ???

    Saw someone share this recently on Rotopax's IG. Looks promising and at a great price point. I have Maxtrax right now. So curious to see how those turn out. Looking forward to your thoughts once they come in.
