    Let's go break it in and make sure it matches the rest of the truck :mudding:

    Possibly. I'm wondering how long it will take for my group buy stuff to show up.

    It's great! If you have the bypass tubes all the way in you will notice the ride is stiffer on road. I adjusted the compression tubes to be a bit softer. About 10 turns Matt at MCM recommended. Left rebound the way they come out of the box from ADS. No more hitting my front bump stops going over whoops on the trail at higher speeds. I'll get some faster speed runs in for testing in a few weeks with the turkey run. Make more adjustments if needed.

    Are you going to stick with your mid travel setup?

    I used the stock harness and relay from ARB. This included the pressure shutoff switch. Didn't use the 2nd part of the harness that goes in the cab for the switch. Instead I connected the trigger wire for the compressor to my 8 port switching system. Main red wire goes to positive on the battery and main black goes to the ground on the battery or body ground. Wires for lockers are left unplugged on both ends of the ARB harness.

    I also bought the ARB Tire inflation kit

    Oh and the wires for the pressure switch can be plugged in anyway you like. No positive/negative side to them.

    Yeah, but I have a feeling the part that sticks out is going to hit the bed extender. I don't want to start trimming metal off and weaken the integrity of the bed stiffeners. Defeats the purpose of them lol. I do need them. I see marks of the side of the bed and the tailgate where it has rubbed on the top.

    No way it would fit. The opening of the bed isn't wide enough for the bed extender to fit now. You would have to cut off the 90 degree part with the holes.

    Junk yard Tacoma find. Mounted my 2nd spare tire to the under side of my RCI rack. Works great after about 200 miles of driving this weekend.

    Also DIY Tread Pro mounts on the passenger side of the RCI rack.
