    Started cleaning up the exhaust port surfaces. Who has a favorite technique for this they'd like to share? I've read everything from the knobby wheels, wire wheels, sanding blocks, to flat polishing stones... my beat up scotchbrite pad was not doing the job that well.

    Anyone want a 2000 trd exhaust in good shape - both manifolds and the cross over pipe? $25

    Being a 49er fan I have to say that's one BEAUTIFUL truck.

    And, that's one PRO install job on that bumper. Looks GREAT!

    I've done a mod or two
    Get a piece of the fine reddish brown scotch bright and do it by hand, very easy.

    I've got a set of OME Dakar HD's that have been on my Taco since April of 2015...about 35K miles.

    I just bought a RTT and will be installing a Thule Xsporter Pro 500XT (marketing mouthful there...:rofl:) bed rack to mount the tent to.

    Keep you posted...as I am also considering the expo packs from AllPro...

    :cheers:

    I thought you lay ground covers down when working on the truck to prevent oil stains on the driveway?

    Might have mis-stated the HD...thought that was what I ordered but upon research I stand corrected.

    How about this...I wish I had a Dakar leaf that was rated as "heavy duty." ;)

    Tire gate is on. Took a crap ton of work. Wiring in the license plate and rear back up/running lights was the most of the project. Next up is 5 beadlocks and 5 mud tires.







    Couple Yoga poses......
