    Installed my AVS window shades. Love getting all these small mods done that I never had the time for. Need to get into some more serious stuff soon!

    Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I did the PL5400 as my fist ever mod to my new to me taco. I was wondering if the rod's rubbing on the tailgates interior structure brace could be fixed (see image). Maybe some kind of low friction material would help?

    I also have a pretty sizeable gap on the bottom and around the camera (see other picture). Our winters are bad enough that I don't want debris and moisture inside the tailgate. What does the infinite cumulated knowledge of TW suggest to fill that gap? Liquid gasket type stuff? Ideally something that isn't an adhesive in case the handle needs to be replaced.

    ThanksIMG_0728.jpg IMG_0730.jpg

    Ordered new tires. They're not amazing, they're not even M/Ts, but they get good reviews and they were inexpensive. Nankang AT-5 Conquerors (265/75/R16) for $622 installed with road hazard coverage for the next three years. Now the waiting game while my tire place gets them.

    I recommend you start putting the amount you were paying for it into your savings account, then periodically put it into the market via mutual funds. Do this and you may be able to pay cash for the next one.
