    I could take a day or two for sure. But we’ll see if it comes that fast 🤞

    I just ordered the Victory rack, so we can compare notes and document for future generations!

    Can anyone tell me the difference between the Prinsu and Victory4x4 racks?

    I can’t find the exact measurements anywhere now but I’m pretty sure I saw them in the past and the Prinsu is shorter than the V4x4. Only by maybe 0.5”? If it matters, accessories. Prinsu has been around ages and afaik it’s always been mostly the same, there are lots of out of box accessories...

    Hi I Have A Tacoma

    Super easy to do. The video shows pretty much everything, but once you get in there it’s just the typical finding whatever screw or fastener is holding things together in your way and removing that. You put it all back in by reverse and you’re done. In general I think the interior panels are...

    brilliant. i might try that. the white wireless symbol on this charger sticks up a bit, so i'm wary of adding more distance between the phone and the coil. probably still worth a shot though, just to hide it

    Hi I Have A Tacoma

    I’ve had some parts piling up so I threw a few new bits on at once the other day. these are a higher power wireless charger, a bigger cup holder, and a smaller shift knob! so I’m a little mixed on this charger. it’s way faster than stock, and it bypasses the dumb qi button. but it’s ugly...

    I did! Sold it before I got the new one. But my tip for you is to watch for used ones in the early fall. Tons of people offloading them for cheap, probably after they realized the summer went by and they didn’t use it at all lol

    Suggestions for Tyler and Paige as they explore Oregon for the next several weeks

    +1 Crater Lake. Yeah tourists but they can be avoided, and it is one of the most incredible sights. I’m awe struck every time I go. Anywhere on the coast. Hiking, camping, beaches, kitschy stores and corn dogs. I absolutely love the Oregon coast and will never ever tire of it.

    GOFSR Rooftop Tents

    Sorry for off-topic here, but I’m curious how you mounted it facing back like that. You have a photo of the underside? I was thinking about it but since the fsr doesn’t have a solid bottom, I didn’t want to put all the weight on just the outside frame or just two of the crossbars.

  100. jbiscuit

    Hi I Have A Tacoma

    something cheap, tents are so gd expensive. i'm looking for something more like 60" wide, queen sized, because there will be two adults and a kid in there and that kid is a kicker when she sleeps. smittybilt is one option but their xl is huge and the standard is kinda small for us i think...
