quality of life changes:

seating position :
re-foamed seat, 3rd gen headrests (although if i had a workshop this - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ld-and-adventures.362772/page-8#post-10525266 would have been better) and @olecoot seat risers. massive difference in how my body feels after long drives, super stoked -

converted a scepter water can to house a hand pump, easy water on demand at camp - based off this but i used a cheaper pump

Look good. Not too spendy either. I still have my cutting board holding up my CTEK in that spot. I should really get something like this instead.

yeah i had a “homemade” bracket there too that made it difficult to use one side of the fuse block, not that i have a ton of stuff in it, but this is a nice clean bracket for sure - its available on Amazon too but seemed better to buy direct

How are you liking the Yokohama’s so far? Looks like you have put quite a few on and off-road miles - how they handle on each? They are on my short list but might be overkill for all the highway miles I drive for work.

i am really enjoying them, i like the way they have been handling offroad, they haven't missed a beat - for us. they are quiet enough but not quiet on the hwy, but that comes with the territory i guess. but yes, loving them - doesn't hurt that they look good too, i think

weboost 5g antenna mount. i used a @RelentlessFab fab hood hinge CB/AUX mount (i now have one on each side) ran the cable thru the passenger side grommet (bit of a pita) and thru the center console where i drilled a hole for it to exit. my plan is (we have two trucks) to have the antennas mounted in each truck and move the booster as we need. this way we could run the antenna cable outside the truck and use an aux power source to sit outside

back up plan is to buy another antenna and use some RAM mounts on the camper(s), to hoist it super high when in camp - but we shall see how things go like this. i don't love the height of the antenna on mine, making the one on @prof.jones quite a bit shorter and will see how that works out. we need to be able to use whilst driving and camped.

installed weboost antenna on @prof.jones 3rd gen. made the antenna super short, we shall see how effective it is, fingers crossed i guess. ran the cable down to the grommet under the passenger seat - leaving the excess laying there. again this is so we can use whlist driving but also outside at camp.
also someone needs to clean the inside of her truck.....
