    What Cell phone carrier do you use?

    One thing for folks to remember, if it is an emergency, even if you don't have service, still try to dial 911. Once you dial 911, it opens up ALL providers towers and ingores any hard distance limits a tower has.

    I ended up adding some protection to it, luckily, I live in a fairly dry climate. Well, after a few hundred miles, I could hear air rushing into the cab at speed and could feel the higher temps in the RSD panels. I realized I missed some seatbelt holes. So last night I removed the RSD lower...

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    Got tired of the road noise and hot air blowing into the cab from where the rear seat-belts were, so I plugged the unused holes with a large set screw (7/16-20x1/2). Not ideal to do it from below, but better than removing the lower RSD panels.
