    The other photos are just of state boundaries: Indiana, Kentucky, and of course Tennessee.

    Day 2 came with a class from @SoutheastOverland about changing the inner tie rod which was very informative

    Day 2 we hit the trails. No idea what numbers but boy were they fun

    Day 3 was more trails. Went up to a radio tower and I believe it was abandoned before but the new one sits up there was well.

    Well i work at a gas and seal company and i found out they throw away bard ends they can no longer use so I was able to snag a few and use those for the seat spacer mod (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/fs-aluminum-seat-spacers-for-seat-mod.563843/) so now i just need to grab some of the longer bolts and it will end up costing me $5

    I am also starting to save up some funds to buy Baja lights. I am going to start with my fog lights and order the circular ones for my bankrupt bumper. the rear already has baja lights and then i will begin to upgrade the rest of my light bars.

    I will also enlist the help of my brother @geekhouse23 and my buddy gian who also has a tacoma to take off my bumper and wire up the winch to the inside. I also need to fix the lower wiring on my switch panel. still isnt working. My next day im not working is october 20th so im hoping to get it done before then and winterize with them.

    Curious to see how the "DIY" spacers come out. Should be good.

    Can't go wrong with Baja Designs. They can be pricey but worth it. IMO of course

    :spy: :wave:

    Those are the "old" model. They have newer ones that are "brighter and better" hence the "sales". Making room for the new stock of "better" ones.

    Some type of jig to ensure straight cuts and a sawzall should work fine.

    I use WD-40. No issues.

    Also, cutting it close to Badlands for the winch haha. Shouldn't be a problem though. Hoping to Fluid film before that event though so shit isn't as dirty.

    Well this past weekend @geekhouse23 and I were helping to install a prinsu roofrack

    2B970521-EBC4-450E-B985-D0D5BE883492.jpg


    Also it was like our own little truck meet in the alley haha

    8D6FA762-E76E-46E2-82C5-D6EAA9EED08D.jpg

    I was also able to put a new wiring harness on @geekhouse23 heretic bar and relocate the ground for his Sasquatch lights

    Then while I was trying to fix the winch electrical issues in the winch control box I found out one of the terminals on the solenoid broke off

    At least you were able to figure everything out and it's all fixed or fixable.
