For me, the 255s have been no big deal. Sure they are slower, but I have never wished for something "faster" as I drive conservatively anyway and realize that I got a truck for a reason. Now I have yet to head up I70 into the hills yet, so I can't comment on how it keeps speed going uphill. That...

Just a quick update: After a few days of riding around with the sliders on it appears I will have to drop them and massage the pinch seam a bit with a BFH to get a little more clearance with the legs. AllPro recommends 1/4" at the slider legs and it is evident that clearance is inadequate on the...

These are indeed the "Heavy Duty" version and are intended for the DCLB configuration. From my research I found that CBI in addition to AllPro and Relentless offer a bolt-on version for the DCLB with the L-bracket mounting.

So my AllPro sliders arrived on Wednesday and I spent the past few days getting them on the truck. Luckily (or not luckily depending on your point of view), I had flip flopped shifts at work and was working graveyards. That gave me the majority of the day to work uninterrupted on the...

Unfortunately I put the tires on at the same time as the lift and bumper, so it's hard to tell you what the impact to the MPG was as a result of just the tires. All told though between the tires, lift, and ARB, it worked out to be ~2mpg. I went from ~20mpg to ~18mpg after the switch. I wouldn't...

Man do I love that SAS Tacoma. If only I had the $$$ to give mine the same treatment...

So my work schedule flip flopped for a few days to the graveyard shift, so I had a few hours today to play around with the truck and get a few things accomplished. First off I was able to install the ARB fog lights I had ordered up after my experiment to find a cheap alternative failed. The...

It's typically pretty dry out here in the Denver area, but I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up.

A couple of small updates. I started collecting some recovery gear for this upcoming season. Got a few shackles, a recovery strap, shovel, and a Hi-Lift jack. I'm quite impressed with the beefiness of the receiver shackle, looks like it should serve me faithfully when I undoubtedly get stuck...

Thanks for the compliments! I'm glad that people are able to get something out of my thread. As someone who didn't grow up around modifying trucks or 4-wheeling, this is all completely new to me. I have gotten more than my fair share from this incredibly knowledgable community and continue to...

And another expensive day. Ordered up a set of All-Pro Heavy Duty rock sliders. They had a good deal on a set for the DCLB that I just couldn't pass up.

Looks like my hand was just forced. After emailing BFG to ask about the removal of the 255/85R16 Mud-Terrain KM2 from their website I was told that it has been discontinued and will not be re-released. Full size spare tire ordered!

You are right that it would need a lot of love to get it to where it sounds like you want it. That being said, it seems like a pretty cool setup. If you have the place and will to make it happen, go for it.

Well, the attempted LED fog light showed up today and I don't think it's worth the trouble to try and make this particular one work. For starters, it is slightly too large for the opening in the bezel so I would have to modify the bezel a bunch to try and make it work. Two, it is a pretty hefty...

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacoma-marketplace/347450-interior-dome-led-light-kits.html Guy was quick to ship out and it was more or less cheaper than I could have purchased them for by myself. Thumbs up to that!

In other news, I have a small Friday update to make. As someone who is a big fan of lights and seeing in the dark, I decided to upgrade the dome light and map lights to LED. Nothing ground breaking, but a pleasing change none the less. Install is pretty straight forward, so unless someone wants...

Gotcha. Kinda what I was thinking with the pigtail splicing. What are the correct crimpers by chance? I have a hard time turning down the opportunity to buy a new tool. :sombrero:

I got tired of looking at the blank fog light spot in the ARB bumper and decided to do something about it. I didn't feel like paying the $90 for the ARB fog light kit, so I ordered up a pair of the following from Amazon to see if I can get them to fit in there. Copious amounts of silicone...

I'm interested in your experience with the All-Pro sliders. Bolt-on or weld on? Did you have to trim the pinch weld to get them on there?

So I got around to installing the CB radio this weekend. The goal going into it was to mount it in a place that did not impact comfort, visibility, or safety, and still allowed the radio to be easily viewed by the driver. I evaluated mounting it a few places, inside the center console, on the...
