    i put some LaminX yellow precut on my fog lights and really like the outcome. A bit of a PITA to install but take your time and install wet, very forgiving product.

    Finally got around to putting the @state48overland rear differential breather relocation kit on. I rerouted to the drivers side tail. And since I was there I upgraded my reverse bulbs.

    I'm glad I did since this big storm is coming through.

    It should happen more often that the internet is like this.......instead of the cancer I see often times when gaming.....That said this forum is great and I love the information sharing! Everyone gets a little smarter a little bit every day no matter what thread you happen to pop into......

    When I got my truck used in Mar-2020 with 96K I changed all the fluids - front and rear differentials, transfer case, and tranny fluid....Also greased all my u-joints and bought a grease gun just for that purpose and used Lucas Red and Tacky #2. Felt a huge difference immediately.

    This is for a manual 6-speed btw. If you have an automatic, I don't know. Going forward I'll probably change it more often than not depending on how much work the truck does. Since I haul firewood/rounds probably every 20K.....

    I wouldn't consider myself an expert, but I would use Dawn for step 1. Dawn will strip all the old wax and everything else off the Taco. Most of your off the shelf car wash will not strip the old wax and chemicals, this is intentional. I do this once a year on our vehicles and then immediately put a few coats of wax back on them. I did a clay bar after the dawn strip this year. worked out great! I am going to clay bar and ceramic coat it next time I dawn strip Betty.

    I use Dawn to strip the boat each year as well. I use Dawn for everything. I love Dawn.:rofl::rofl::thumbsup:

    Hell yeah brother take her as far back as you can. Like i said, mine ended up dead flush with the wheelwell and probably gained at least a good inch in clearance. Gotta finish up my pinch weld myself, and by the time these tires are worn out I'll already have a new bumper and spindle gusset ready for 35s haha.

    I shoulda just gone 35 to start...

    Anyone in NorCal able to take a drive with me in my Tacoma? I seem to have something failing or very worn in my driveline and I can't figure out what it might be.

    Volant CAI, TRD Exhaust, Throttle Body Expansion with vortex, too many others to mention.
    I bought some and returned it because a professional detailer told me it was no good. To each his own.
