Very cool Wil!

Curious - why go with a large monitor instead of a double-din in-dash?

The Total Vision system will incorporate a review camera which will replace the rear-view mirror. With the rear swing out bumper, I am planning on loosing most of my rearward vision and this should correct it and give me an aditional views of underbody and fron and rear. The dub din location in the Tacoma is too low IMO for a rear-view, and taking the eyes off the road/trail too much. (I tend to fall into holes). I am working on locating a PC there with a touch screen face.

So far this one is the winner:

Last week......what was your CEL all about?
The CEL was triggered by the Cat system and reset and has not tripped since. I blame the mud. I also had them replace a leaking rear seal, prior to leaving for AZ.

Unfortunately I have to make another appointment here to replace my driver's side window track. I think I bent it, and it sqeaks incredibly loud if the window is not completely closed. Then again it may just be a clamp popped out.

Suspension...

Rear suspension is on with the exception of shocks. It is nice to no longer have blocks in the rear!

I went with All Pro's 5" lift springs, and tonight I will begin working on the front CO's.

OK just kidding on the LT...

The springs are only a temporary fix for the blocks.... I was able to do a sweet trade and anything is better than the blocks. The springs are not rated as high as I need, so my net is right where I should be after the sag. They told me they are about 200lbs per inch. With my tent and rack and Scepter's it is about a 3-4" lift in the rear.

I also got the braided ss brake line extensions. (need to install)

The front is going to undergo some testing with different CO's if all goes as planned. Look for an upcoming review article on the main ExPo page after I get some testing done. Also an article on the Dual Batteries...
