    Great advice man! I was considering using liquid nails but I think the JB weld would be better considering ive had great luck in the past with it and I have never used Liquid nails before. everything I read on re sealing seems to lean more towards window weld which is what I got also gonna throw some silica packs in there and silicone the outside as well

    That’s the winch I went with, waiting to whittle down home Improvement list before I start wrenching on the truck again. I’m hoping my bumper and winch (125# total) soften the ride a little.
    Edit:bumper is a US Offroad

    Nice setup, but "whittle down the home improvement list", now that's funny. My "list" seems to never end. Just when I think I'm getting close, something else "needs" to be done. Sometimes the mods trump home improvement for me, now the wife, that's another story. Your truck is gonna look nice. Is that the slimline bumper that keeps the factory bumper? If so, those look really good on our trucks. I came very close to ordering one, but I got a steal on my ARB.

    Yes, Stealth or something like that. I’ve been “prepping” a new front door since mid-December, she would be a little pissed if I was crawling around under the truck before I put that in.

    Got the oil changed and fumoto valve installed. I swear the last person that changed the oil put the filter on with an impact wrench. Almost took me longer to get that off than to do anything else.

    Not a matter of what I did to my Tacoma, but what I did with it...

    Neighbor's wife's brand new Mercedes had a dead battery this morning, and we used my Tacoma to jumpstart it!

    When you talk about reseal, do you mean the Jeep headlights or the Tacoma? Jeeps should be sealed and not taken apart. The Tacoma should be the same as the BHLM

    Looks good! I am thinking about the Mobtown sliders too. Do you have any other pics showing how far they stick out? are those 20 degree?

    I am talking about the tacoma lights, I was just asking if the window weld would be the best stuff to seal with. As far as mounting the jeep light I'm debating between jb weld or fuse it "liquid nails"

    From my Vt. trip this morning. My friends cabin in the woods. No that is not a exhaust stack in the Tacoma.
    The truck in the snowbank is at a sugar shack. It was open house at the Vt. Sugarhouses this weekend. This house had 20 people while I was there. Good food handouts.

    Ah gotcha. I used rubber butyl from TRS and haven't had the fog yet. The Jeep headlights I think either would work but make sure when you put them in the Jeep headlights and pointed in the same position as the Tacoma. I didn't realize mine were pointed down so now I can drop mine and lower. When the Jeep lights go out I'll have to reposition them better
