Decided I just needed a 1" block for the rear. 95% of my driving is highway, 5% off road. Also ordered up the clamshell bushing replacement for my front diff. About 300 miles after I installed my lift I noticed my diff bushing making noise. $40 for the bushing...$60 for the special puller. Went ahead and ordered a seal just in case I damage the one in the housing.

Can I get some F's in the chat for my needle bearing? :ROFLMAO: 😬 :rolleyes: :cry:
 
Picked up an RSI Smartcap from @2016TRD4x4 Yesterday. Now trying to figure out how to run lighting like I have on the Victory rack. This thing is growing on me.View attachment 51447 So used to seeing it with a rack I feel like I'm looking at someone else's truck
I don’t know why it just looks so much better on your truck than it did on mine I think it was those stupid factory roof rails messed up the whole profile. It was a pleasure doing business with you sir I hope the topper treats you well, When I get through with work today I’ll send you a link for the other end of the quick connect that goes with the tail light so you can get that squared away. Supposedly according to what I’ve read it’s not that hard but you know how that goes

Its definitely growing on me. I'm sure once I get my summer wheels on and the cap outfitted it will feel more like home. Pleasure working with you to man. Shoot me the link when you're able. No worries
 
Drove down to the Zone to get oil, ordered a K&N filter cartridge off Amazon the other day, about to pull the trigger on the Fumoto valve... If you couldn't tell, I'm gearing up for my first oil change on Tilda as a Tacoma owner. Just need a decent Saturday or Sunday weather for it.

What I'm doing with my non-Tacoma 2010 Honda Odyssey....100k mile service, shocks/struts, front brakes (rotors and pads), new shoes, and an alignment.
 
To save some frustration for a future user, please do NOT order the Yukon tool. The all thread portion is far too short , I barely got any threads in the puller tool, and once you place the steel plate with the nut it had maybe 1 thread. Just order the one from ECGS. Now the bushing from Yukon was great and fit was perfect. Likely same manufacturer, from all the other videos and pictures I had seen.

@Takotruck, Looking at these exact fogs. I got a 15% discount code. Feedback?

They are great. Plug and play. Kind of a pain in the ass to shoehorn them in position but you can do it from the top without removing anything except for the plug when you plug in the new ones.
I did not have to adjust mine at all the beam was set perfectly for me. Bright and will be great on those foggy days.

Got real sick and tired of my massive water bottles rolling around my truck. Borrowed this idea from the forum who shall not be named. Chalk Bag for rock climbing.

It was super simple to install. I used a extra long lag bolt to keep it under the console. Worked awesome!! Ended up buying 2 from Amazon.
