    x2 on the jack method. Just make sure you mark your alignment tabs on the LCA with a sharpie before you loosen them. Then you can make it to get an alignment no problem. I drove around for a few days like that actually and everything drove fine.

    Shit, if it works it works! I was installing a lift and needed an alignment anyways. If everything was in spec, I probably wouldn't bother.

    Added S2000 antenna. Looks better than stock and works better than the stubby.

    How the heck do I get the TPMS light to come on? Tires several miles away but no light.

    It's on the dash right?

    Should just come on. Are you the first owner? PO might've disabled it without you knowing.

    These lights all come on when I turn the key to on, they all go out after ai start the vehicle and stay off. ABS light is on but can't see but the edge on the right of image.

    Had 1630 on the odometer when I got it. Couldn't imagine the first owner disabled it, it comes on at key on but goes out and stays out.

    Hell, I'm sending the scanner and flash tools back

    100+ people signed up for the ARB Awning group buy, and then once it was time to order Ramon's contact at the supplier went completely dark/silent.

    Fortunately @ramonortiz55 came to the rescue with a coupon code that was an (almost) exact equivalent price to the group buy pricing.

    Got a shipment from Cochrane Toyota which included some in-channel window visors, an OME carrier bearing drop kit, and this TRD shift knob that I popped on last night. It feels so nice to go from squishy leather to a solid feeling shifter. Somehow feel more connected to the vehicle.

    I want to do something about the chrome bushing on the end of the shifter boot, though. Looks somewhat yucky. I want to see if it's easily removable and if I could dip it black or something.

    I also drove my Tacoma to a job interview at a sexy company today and got an assignment to complete over the long weekend. Wish me luck, bros.

    Something I've seen before but have yet to do, is to remove the chrome ring, then tuck the boot inside itself and secure it. I believe the guy ziptied it, then put tape over the ziptie so it wouldn't cut anything. It made the shifter look a little longer and more truck-like.

    Murphy's law I tell ya, Murphy's mother effing Law.

    Hopped on Amazon, got the return lables and hit the UPS drop box that picks up at 8pm. 7:13 now. Dropped them off and I shit you not, 1 1/2 blocks from my house the damn thing started flashing and lit up.

    You can't make this shit up.
