    I also did the climate control knobs. And the LED license plate lights. I previously replaced the chrome badges, TACOMA x3 & TOYOTA, with black. However, I couldn't locate the "Prerunner, V6, and SR5 in black. So I did the black vinyl inserts.

    Woke up early this morning (I wake up early every morning) to get my stuff together so I can build some harnesses for my navigation/radio/camera.

    I have a squeaky throw out bearing so I’m planning on pulling the trans in the next month or 2. Living in Canada though this means my exhaust and the slave cylinder are on the extremely crusty side.

    So today I decided to tackle 1 of the 2 problem spots to make my life a little easier when it comes time to do the clutch.

    I replaced both of the manifold stays going from the trans to exhaust post cat. I also replaced the exhaust flange gaskets and everything got new oem hardware. The torches got big time use today.

    Passenger side stay was about to break off on the exhaust side.

    And she got a oil change with liqui molly spec tec oil and oem filter.

    You don’t, just think of them as adjustable bump stops

    Right now I am stock in the rear but I'm ordering up some Firestone air bags. I also have a weight distribution hitch that I put on it and that helped level the load out alot. I'll post a pic of what it looked like when I picked it up the other night with no hitch and completely stock rear. IMG_20190513_201547~2.jpg

    It's got some serious sag. It doesnt help that I'm 1.5 higher in the front than stock already.

    I also added a Redarc tow pro elite.

    Made my flares true bolt on, only cut to clear the 285’s (I cut the fender 2” in case I want to move to 35’s at some point). So much room for activities!

    Think I may derp the bolts black to lessen the bling of the ss hardware

    I think it'd look good if you paint the bolts to match your wheels.
