I put 1" Bora spacers all around. I bought them from (someone?) here last year (crazy) and they were just sitting in my shop (hey I'm old!)

Firstly I actually can feel a difference when driving. Turns and tracks easily and better. Maybe all in my head!

1" is hardly noticeable in looks, just makes my tires look skinny!!

I dread lifting tires/wheels (hey I'm old!). So I bought this - made the job doable (but still a little tough):

ok, have to ask...just how old are ya?
(I'm sorta up there in the years too) I could use one of those tire movers!
I think there's a good bit of us older guys and gals on here. Better to get old than the alternative!

So I got a Meso minimalist key fob in the mail yesterday. I got a video coming later for my YouTube account.
I think it matches the inferno pretty well.

I'm mainly joking. I'm 62 and in good health. Just tired of using my back not my mind!

Factory tires for off road are not good. Sold my TRD OR wheels and tires while almost new, put the 4runner TRD Sema wheels (gunmetal) on my Silver Sky with KO2s Load Range C tires. Have not had it off road yet, but coming in deer season. Mud when wet, thorns all the time. Those load range C K02s balanced perfectly, and look to have only dropped about 1.5 mpg over stock set up. Talked to a LOT of Tacoma owners locally and read a lot here, that if you go to a Load Range E tire in like the KO2 that the mpg drops almost 5 over stock in the OR, and stiff as hell. I also put some other mods on mine since new in late May. Need to post. Stuff like seat jackers from Desert Does It, and Lomax tonneau cover, with come cosmetic things. Need to post pics when time.

I have load range E 285/75/16 did not drop 5mpg . Did not drop badly infact when hand calculated I dropped maybe .5mpg to 1mpg. One factor could be that I have a Manual though.

Looking at ordering those sequential turn signals when the DRL harness is back in stock for the grill lights. How do you like them? I assume these are the same as the ones Cali Raised is selling?

Good job! Whatever you're doing keep doing it. Dieting is harder than to stop doing mods to a Tacoma........, well almost!

Tuesday

and @RivetNutBob - in February I topped the doctors office scale at 335. Heaviest I've ever been. Last week at the doctors office, 298. And for the first time in a very long time, my next appointment is six months out instead of three. A1C dropped from 7.3 to 6.1. We started Weight Watchers, which I have since stopped ($$), and just made some adjustments to how and what we cook. Small changes lead to big ones.

It's definitely a change in lifestyle! I'm pulling for both of us!

Bastards! You know I can’t resist that.

I told my wife over a nice dinner out after she had a few beers. She said;

“You have a problem when it comes to your truck, we need to talk about that.”

then,

“You can get your hood IF you steam clean the carpets in the house”

I’m sure the carpets are looking really nice now. Congrats on the skewp

Yeah, I've played the see-saw game with my weight past few years. I did really good about 2-3 years ago. Lost about 50-60 lbs (from 250 to 200-give or take 5-10 lbs.). But since I've moved and been back on night shift, that has quickly gone back up. It hard to be motivated to get up and wanna exercise, eat healthy, when you consistently tired.

Don't get me wrong. I love working night shift, but it takes a HUGE toll on the human body.

to that!

I've been on nights for almost a year. Due to a busted up ankle (thanks USMC PT) and a bad knee, I don't do much in the way of exercise except cut the grass. My biggest changes were the food I brought overnight. I doctor up some oatmeal and bring some fruit. I replaced chips with Quaker rice crisps (cheddar and buffalo ranch are pretty good). Not plugging Weight Watchers (they are not cheap), but they helped me find foods I like that were "zero point" which really changed things up for me. I lost about 70 lbs with them in '13, but didn't handle my dad's death very well and packed it back on. Small changes. Big results.

Sorry for your loss.

What you did once you can do twice......., and just think about the gains you're going to get in gas mileage!

70lbs is incredible! Makes the 50 that I intend on losing attainable.

Deer jumped out at me in Lakeside Montana. Anyone know a good body shop in Kalispell area?

Tis the season. Glad you're not hurt.
We're getting to that time of year when the change in daylight will stimulate the rut and BIG game animals will be on the move.
A good reminder for us all to be careful out there!
