    Which ones did you go with? I put 5100's on all 4 corners w/the front set in the middle, was like night and day difference compared to stock.

    Been a while since I messed with suspension. If I were to do a 5100 all the way around from my stock shocks, do I need anything else or is something like this enough?

    All you need are the shocks, everything else can stay stock...

    I just did the front with 5100 to level. Put on mid settings. I really do not off road much. I did not want to have to mess with my set up/hitch for pulling the tt. Hope I was right as I have not hooked up the tt since. :fingerscrossed:

    I pull a TT and have a WDH, it did not affect the level at all.

    I went with 6112s on the second notch; hoping that will level me out. Once they settle in, I'll see where I'm at and figure out what I want to do with the rears.

    I'm a fan of the Bilsteins - did 5100s all around on my Tacoma, and they were a massive improvement over stock.

    Thanks! My decision was largely guided by what I could find in stock haha. If it levels out pretty well, I might put some sumo springs in the back to stiffen it up and call it a day.

    Yeah, With my truck being a 2014, I'll probably throw all new on with the fronts set to level it out. I have air bags and a WD hitch for towing so I doubt I'll even notice any dip in the back.

    Just ordered a set. I'll just need two, so I will probably post the others for cheap after I install mine. FYI, if you leave them in your cart for an hour or two on their website (gotta fill in your contact info) they'll send a 5% off code. It's only like 85 cents, but still.

    Replaced my dash speakers with these Kenwood’s - nice improvement.
    Finally found the KFC- X2C in stock but they sent me the X3C- Bonus! They are a little bigger but got them to fit in the factory mounts. Also switched out my focal tweeters with Hertz - snap right in to the sails and sound amazing.39355951-99F2-4FFE-B521-ABB056F60809.jpgB0BE937C-2A28-4C5B-AEAB-8254578ADA4E.jpg

    Finally installed my Valhalla's Shield (VS) mid and mid-rear skid plates. Thanks to Tyler (@Classy63 ) for hooking me up with some billet plates. I will ad more pictures under Tyler's thread.

    Yep, did today too after a quick wash and vacuum, I noticed the passenger side had more dirt UNDER the mat than in it.

    Picked up a new solar panel today. The 100W panel was a bit undersized for the 200ah lithium battery bank installed in the truck. Think I went a bit too far with a 330W 24v residential panel though. I’m still gonna finish installing it :D

    Right now it's just sitting up there (on top of the 100W panel) so I can see how it works compared to the other panel while I wait on the stuff I need to mount it.

    Looks good! Which brand are these? I've been meaning to pick some up but have a fridge on one side and a drawer on the other so clearance has been an issue. Looks like these would work for me though.

    Lots of shenanigans.
    Made this bad boy last night! Has a slight leak so gotta adjust that and need to mount it onto the truck at some point. I’ll add that and installing the total Chaos UCA to my to do list

    Wow, that’s really cool! I’m interested in any write-up you might have on the install and wiring.

    So how much does that 330w weigh? Can it be removed and reinstalled easily?

    Please post more pics and info when you install it!
