wassup man long time no see how've you been?

 

Been doing fine just busy travelling and stuff.

 

Went down to the local Discount Tire and got new wheels and tires put on. Swapped out the 16" stock wheels from my 2011 TRD Off Road to the 17" SEMA wheels. Replaced 265/75/R16 BFG KOs to 265/70/R17 Falken Wildpeak A/T3W tires. So far, loving the look!

 

Not today, but yesterday... Went to the local Firestone and got my snow wheel change over.

The winter tires are on stock 17" Sport rims painted black. These rims are definitely smaller than my Pro Comps as far as "width" goes.

Sorry, no pics. There should be a pic in my media album. All that's different now is that I'm running a red (for now) LEER shell.

 

Started working on this grill. Still need the mesh

 

Yeah, a new one. It isn't as ugly as some years. It has a fairly sporty fromt end IMO.

This is pretty much identical to what I am rolling in.

 

That's not too bad.

I was thinking it looked something like this:

 

Yeah, it actually drives surprisingly nice. I will miss some of the creature comforts like the heated seats and steering wheel...

 

@bullaculla makes a relocation bracket that uses the original mounting position, but gets the harness out of the way for off-roading, so you don’t have to drill a hole in your bumper. It’s a nicely made product and a super easy install, that is reversible. Here’s the thread, but it looks like there’s a wait:

Here is a picture of mine:

 

Not today but yesterday changed my tires back to lame, just in the nick of time got and inch yesterday!

 

Decided to put some driving lights on this morning

 

I broke a few clips on my rear fender flare about a year ago and now I finally want to fix it because it flaps like crazy when I drive. Found these clips on eBay,but it says they're for the front. Will they work on the back too? Not trying to buy a whole bunch of stuff I end up not needing. Thanks for any help

Boring stuff but replaced the cabin filter and cleaned out all the debris the PO had accumulated, wiped 303 on all the outside trim and new floor mats

 

Nothing exciting either, but I ordered a case of oil filters and drain plug gaskets from -

https://parts.conicellitoyotaofcons...-deals-90915-yzzd3-10-90915-yzzd3?parent=1002

$35 shipped and no tax

 

Just placed my order, was looking to stock up on some after my last dealer purchase. They supposedly replaced it with one ending in G2 and it's a smaller filter.

Thanks for the link!

 

No problem! I’ve ordered from them before and have been happy with their service. They sent an email out for the free shipping deal and I happened to see the oil filter deals at the bottom of it. I thought $3.50 for filter and gasket was a pretty good deal.

Perfect timing too... I’m about 200 miles from my first DIY oil change on my 2015.

 

You going to add a fumoto valve? http://amzn.to/2AaZ4CK

 

Thinking about it... I’ll see how much of a mess I make the first time haha!

 

Though not today, but this week. I gave her a good washing, new emblems, new vent visors, hit the 50k mark, added patches to the headliner, and drove around in the snow yesterday.
