    1st post!

    Just got my 2004 TRD Taco with Camper Shell. Woot.

    Checked to make sure the PCV valve was good, checked the condition of the air filter.

    Ordered a fuel filter and OME/Dakar full suspension with 881 coils.

    Installed my Pioneer DEH PRS80 Headunit and Panavise phone mount (waiting on the RAM x-grip holder).

    That's it!

    I won some low pro roof bar mounts from Eric at Relentless Fab while at Rock Therapy this year. In fact I won 2 sets lol, Eric was in our camp and was super cool about it, he took one pair back and in return took some money off the light bar! Pretty awesome guy if you ask me! It took about 15 minutes to do myself, I also added some amber Lamin-x I got from Amazon to my PIAA's and my cubes.

    I'm getting these mounts and I'm trying to figure out what lightbar I need the website said 42" curved but a lot of people are saying they used a 40". What size did you use if you don't mind me asking?

    I got the 42 curved that Eric sells. A 40 straight would probably fit too, but get the curved, looks so much better

    I just did my 1.5k mile rear diff fluid change cause of the new gears, the fluid was grayish silver like it had a bunch of metal dust in it. Is that ok? No chunks

    Awesome!!

    I'll do the doors in the future. I'm fairly certain that what I have done has cut down on a good amount of noise and a little exhaust drone.

    When my truck was regeared by ECGS they said as long as there were no flakes of metal you're fine.

    I might need to change mine again because the first change the gear oil looked almost new

    I thought I remembered it being 1.5k.. Oh well. I did it a little before 1.5k anyways, probably closer to 900 or 1k. It still feels ok to me :notsure:
