I didn't realize that you are in Del Mar. I'm in Mission Beach for the week, probably about 20 miles from you!

Those look pretty good. I'm looking for a simple, flat step rock rail that will double as a running board step for my kids to get up in the truck.Iron bison tacoma step rail on the Gx, modified mounting bracket locations

Any chance I can check out the Wescott roof rack in person while you are in town?I didn't realize that you are in Del Mar. I'm in Mission Beach for the week, probably about 20 miles from you!
To both hciing and S Suber:Any chance I can check out the Wescott roof rack in person while you are in town?
Thank you for your insight! I think I will go on and order it and take a chance. If you start to experience anything like that, please let us know!Not sure what to tell you, other than the ride is as good or better after the Westcott pre-load collar lift and wheels and tires. I actually think it rides smoother over pavement irregularities, expansion joints, speed bumps, etc.
Every time we are in the truck, my wife comments on how smooooth "our" new truck rides. She said the same before the lift & tires and she says the same still now. We just drove 400 miles to San Diego from Scottsdale on Saturday and we enjoyed every minute of it. She drives a Mercedes SUV. My last truck was a top-of-the-line 2013 Land Rover LR4 with the air suspension and the GX rides better, which surprised the hell out of me.
I'm riding on Load Range C, 35x12.5x17 Toyo Open Country AT3 tires. For the first time in all my truck builds, I decided not to go with Load Range E because I will probably never tow with this truck. I'm sure Load Range C vs E this helps the ride.
edit: It's probably important to note that my wife did NOT even notice the lift, wheels, and tires. That tells you how much the ride is NOT changed. I only told her I was taking it to Westcott for the roof rack! My 5-year-old spilled the beans on the way to San Diego...."Did Mommy notice your new wheels and tires yet?"
Cool! For the record, I am NOT affiliated with Westcott in any way, shape, or form, other than I had them install their lift and rack and Method wheels and Toyo tires on my truck. I like to pass along good referrals. They people at Westcott seem like good people and they are incredibly knowledgeable. They make all their parts in-house in Phoenix, Arizona. The fact that they are about 18 miles from house didn't hurt either. Please tell them that Bill Gill spoke highly of them!Thank you for your insight! I think I will go on and order it and take a chance. If you start to experience anything like that, please let us know!

All good! When I called yesterday I told them all the good juju you were putting out on the forum and he said he “really appreciated you guys”!Cool!

I got them in the mail today and I installed them. They DEFINITELY cost less than 5$ to make. I bet it’s 10 cents to make one letter and I paid 140$. That said it transforms the back. The chrome is kind of ugly when everything else is blacked out. So I’ll take it in the chin as it’s still worth it.i have them, they are overlay, they go on top of your silver lettering.
they feel like its worth less than $5
Yes. Westcott did this for me at their shop as part of the installation. You'll definitely need to take it an alignment shop.Here’s a question
Do you need to do a front end alignment with the Wescott spacer lift after install? I got mine arriving this week and will be running a 285/70/18 falken at4 on stock ot+ wheels with a 1” spacer
