    79C9806C-3DEE-45B3-A49D-ACA7E1C0303A.jpg I removed the rear seats from my 17’ TRD sport access cab. It took some figuring out how to Remove the plastic panels to get to all the mounting bolts for the seat and headrest. I could find no how-to videos on YouTube. In fact, I have trouble finding any info on access cabs. I guess Toyota didn’t build many and not many people are buying them, but I think they are the more useful design. Unless you have a family and you need to carry more people.
    Anyway, I needed the extra space... and the headrest, even when they were flipped down, would impair my vision looking out the back window. I like it much better.

    The most important Mod before summer! Well, for me it is.

    The one mod that will help me on other mods, on camping trips, open house trips, general yard work and countless other occasions.

    Bottle opener in Blazing Blue Pearl

    Attached with the 2 stock screws and this thing is solid as a rock. Well it is now. Check back in 6 months! If it doesn’t hold I’ll replace with a nut and bolt with lock washers. From what I see I won’t need it.

    Well I was set to install my lift kit last week but as it turns out the freight driver was caught doing "deliveries" at 2am a couple weeks back and my suspension kit was one of those thefts. I'm not angry by any stretch. The worst of it is just the poor communication from the shop that something went wrong. I had to call them asking on an update on my order two weeks past the scheduled delivery only to find out my items were stolen and they didn't bother calling me about it and they don't have any info on when they can get another kit. However I didn't have to argue a replacement - like a shop should they took initiative to source another set up for me without having to ask. I'm just a bit irked that communication from this shop is routinely very poor whenever I go through them and there aren't any other reputable (in terms of stock quantity, access, variation in product they carry, quality of product they carry) shops with the same prices or 4WDABC discount in town.

    &
    I think @blam827 put it very simply. There is a breather on both the front and rear differentials. Toyota extends the front breather up into the engine bay where it stays high and dry. On the rear, the breather is on the top of the differential, which is fine, as long as you NEVER cross water deeper than the rear axle. If the breather is submerged, you create the potential to suck water into the rear diff. Extending the breather up into the taillight housing keeps the rear high and dry as well. I do wheel on and off trails, and it’s a safer solution that costs very little and doesn’t take much time. $20-30 and 10 minutes.

    Thank you for the info.

    There was flood at the bottom of the hill that I drove my truck on the road to the flood. There was a car that stopped before the flood. I was like move out of the way, but instead, I went ahead and go around the car and drove thru the flood. It was fine. I noticed a cop tried to go thru but he stopped and turned around. My truck went through fine.

    Very cool, love how it fits so flush. I am sure it is 100x better than the stock unit
