    I just happened upon this one on Marketplace. The ad description wasn’t great, so I sent a msg and asked for better details. No where in the ad did it mention it was for a Tacoma, so it likely flew under the radar of all us shell hunters.

    Isn't that what all those moly panels in your bed are for? Just my opinion but that doesn't look up to your standards with hose clamps holding it on

    Picked up the truck from the body shop after a deer incident. Did the Matt Gecko LED in the bed. Attached to the shell. Super easy. Very bright. Love it already! Used velcro which works great. @mattgecko

    I forgot about this thread for a while but I've done a lot of things lately... Today I did a hand wash, rotated my tires, and then went and got an alignment.

    Recently though, I added some Baja XL80s and some new cracks and scratches in my bumper lol. And some rotos on the roof.

    I would think a nice bedside mount toward the rear of the truck would be more beneficial

    Installed the OME FK29 carrier bearing drop (8mm) - I noticed a slight vibe between 5 and 10mph since installing the General Springs HD leafs. It's so slight that I didn't want to spend the time and energy installing and messing with angled shims, so I got the carrier bearing drop instead. Installed in three minutes, took the truck out for a drive, it's definitely lessened it to almost nil. It also lessened drivetrain vibes in other speeds that I didn't even notice I had. They're not momentary vibes, it was just the way the truck felt at any speed, with the carrier bearing drop there's less vibration. Definitely a noticeable improvement and basically makes it feel like it did on the TSB leafs again. It's a $20 win for me.

    I also almost got merged into on my bike when running to get lunch. Thankfully I run a gopro for dash cam stuff, so of course it's on youtube. Always fun.

    I actually had the fire extinguisher mounted on a molle panel but wanted to move it to free up space to mount my fullsize spare vertically on the back panel against the cab. Given where I have everything else mounted on the molle panels I didn't have space for the fire extinguisher.
