    :frusty: Halved the gap... On the plus side it's getting closer. New filament is a few shades darker than OEM, but I kinda like it, plus it's not supposed to fade. Have to dial it in a little more too. 20200908_171911[1].jpg 20200908_172005[1].jpg 20200908_171922[1].jpg

    Change oil & filter. Install Fumoto drain valve. These trucks have the most ideal oil filter placement of any vehicle I've ever owned. If only the gorilla who put the old filter on hadn't put it on so tight. One of my pet peeves. I've always put my filters on by hand and have never had one leak or loosen.

    Traded my '13 TRD off-road for a 2020 Limited. I absolutely loved my Tacoma, but I had an opportunity that I just couldn't pass up.

    I did the Exact same thing - the Reception is great still ! (except when removing my ball top it flipped off and is still somewhere in the garage on the floor or bench.... someday it will show back up)
    A year back I spent (not much) like $12 on a shorty antenna online and the reception SUCKED!

    A bit larger than stock. Holds super big gulps and most fast food cups great.

    Congratulations. Not everyone has the ____ to do that conversion. It's in my truck's future, hopefully in 2022.

    It’s a 2015 Bambi Sport 16’. I rented it for the weekend and it was my first time using an RV. The size is perfect for 2 people.

    Got the leaf spring swap wrapped up on the Taco today. Was definitely the most involved thing I've gotten myself into on the truck and I was a bit stuck on the install after a few hours finding myself unable to align the shackles and bolts. Called in reinforcements from TW and the neighborhood and they got more done in 45 minutes than I had in 4 hours. Took some raising and lowering of the axle and body with two separate jacks to line things up.

    Swapped from Icon AAL to Medium Duty Dakars with the camper shell, bed build & incoming dual battery. From initial drives around the neighborhood dirt road & pavement, it rides way smoother. Seems that the AAL added height but not much in weight capacity?
