    Wiring up the main harness for my remote start.
    I took a quick trip to AutoZone and they actually had the wire I needed in stock :eek:

    I also picked up some 12ga. wire for my relay boxes.

    Got my FWP Fab universal bed rail tool brackets and QuickFist clamps modified and mounted to my relocated bed rails. BakFlip tonneau covers are nice, but I’ll be damned if the side rail relocation needed for them isn’t a pain in the ass sometimes.

    Ok a little help here from all you headlight gurus. I had a seet of oem headlight with the bhlm but they started leaking so i returned to my oem lights. Va is pretty strict on lighting so I would prefer to stay with dot approved lighting and I found these on Amazon

    https://www.amazon.com/VIPMOTOZ-201...---------&vehicleName=2015+Toyota+Tacoma&th=1

    All I am looking for is the bklm look I would really like white but Id have to tear them apart myself and tbh just don't feel like fooling with it. Just wondering if anybody has any experience with these or compparable ones I don't shop on ebay so no idea what they have

    Moved my 1/2” wheel spacers to the rear to even out the stance a bit. The tire comes real close to the spindle but doesn’t touch. What do you guys think? Should I move them back to the front or is this enough space?

    Tires deflect laterally when cornering. Larger sidewalls more so.

    This is an example, and a much shorter probably stiffer sidewall. Can’t say for sure if you’ll rub under cornering but that’s what comes to mind.

    Sadly today marks the official end to my Summer. Teachers return to work tomorrow and with their return my life moves into the virtual fast lane. So...today I put away my Cat 9 fishing platform, emptied and stored the solar showers, and gave the truck a much needed bath. She still cleans up well.
