    I say to anyone with a used Tacoma just make a single attempt with fishing line. If that don't work leave it be.

    I mean if you want? I saw a Tercel today with a police interceptor badge. Anything is possible. I just like the badge design. If it said T|X TRD like my old taco I’d be super happy.
    I’ve built a 2nd gen spec T|X pro. I have the catback, tube steps off of my T|X and the beadlock and wheels that came on the T|X pro (just in bronze now.)

    Hey Mike, I totally understand. The fact that your wife likes the new exhaust note is a big plus! :thumbsup: BTW, the badges look awesome! One of these days when my honey-do list isn’t so big I’m gonna have to derp mine too. I’ll be sure to post pics. Need to do the AC mod now that the weather is getting nicer here. Yesterday it was 97 in Big Sur. I’m gonna do Old Coast Road tomorrow morning before it gets too warm, supposed to be 92 there tomorrow. Get in and get out is my motto on days like that! Was considering Hollister Hills but besides the 90+ degrees tomorrow they’ve got the big biker rally this weekend. Cheers! :cheers:

    Is this modification a must? Or is it just for off-roading? What does it do? Please pardon my ignorance.

    The string of choice, because of its wax properties, is dental floss, have always used it and never had a problem. Dental floss slides between the paint and adhesive foam with perfect results every time.

    That's relocating the differential air vent to a cleaner location for water fording. The air vent typically sits on top of the differential that's exposed to mud,debris.etc. which sometimes can fowl up the vent and cause damage due to lack of venting the pressure that's generated within the diff.
