    ^ So much this...

    I was looking to do itre/otre and a new rack cause my steering was so sloppy. Did the tack weld mod and put a spacer in there (per video by @Timmah!). Made the steering feel like new and didn't have to drop $1000 in parts.

    You put a small shim or spacer in the tilt ball. @Timmah! used an old oil container and so did I. Worked great! See below...

    Can't believe I didn't do this sooner. It's night and day! No more knocking side to side. Hopefully less wandering and constant correcting once I get it aligned again.

    Did a little thing my dad did the center caps and I did the rims. The tool box in the bed I got for free from a 2013 tacoma on offer up, it cleaned up nice with a pressure wash and some trim restore.

    Not a bad looking pair if you ask me. ;)

    Picked up the new battery! @turbodb does yours fit like this as well? 2AA349BC-1596-4214-9130-24E14D480D17.jpg F1A5DAFB-4375-45A9-9E7A-6C35331B2B18.jpg A481C6DF-4815-444F-87E9-03AF2FD94B0B.jpg

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Most of the AGM options fit like that, I have a @Coupe bracket which has adjustable edges to grip the battery better.

    This is on my old truck, cause I don't really take pics of the new one, but you get the idea, the things that trap the sides of the battery can be moved and locked into new positions.

    Make a conversation with @Coupe and make sure to mention it's for a 1st gen, most of his customers are 2nd gen it seems
