    Merry Christmas to me! I did the meso ultimate maps and dome, and the chrome delete kit. Also, turns out you don’t have to pull the dash to put the 4wd ring on!

    Just got back home from seeing where my last uncle left his ghost at on Tues. 12/22/20 He had a massive heart attack and drove off the road into the ditch and traveled just over 400 feet and came to a stop where you see the glass on the ditch bank. 1st responders came from 10 miles away and when they arrived he had no heart beat. They worked on him for 30 minutes and got a heartbeat then flew him from from the hospital 10 miles away to Evansville, IN. his son took him off life support at 9pm on the 23rd. He was 63 years old, 5 years older than myself. He was still working for Olney township, had 30 years in. He always told me he was going to work till the day he died. And he did. Last picture is my taco sitting along the road him and I took to go to the river bottoms on a regular basis. Going to miss him. We drank allot of Budweiser together back in the day.


    Picture of Jeff sitting in the backhoe with his great niece on his lap.

    This picture is where he 1st hit the ditch.

    And about 400 feet later where he came to a stop.

    003.jpg

    Looking back north from the above photo to where he had traveled after entering the ditch.

    My taco looking back from where he entered the ditch. My truck is on the apposite side of the road from accident site.

    How did you put it on without pulling the dash and taking the knob out from the back?

    Installed Rekgen flaps today. Definitely happy with the final look, and we’ll see how functional these are later.

    couple notes: the hardware is still reversed. Save some time if you get some. Front = back and back = front if it’s not immediately obvious when you dry fit them.

    Ordered a set of PIAA Superior Bass Horns 330/400 Hz yesterday, coming from Japan (ebay). Need something to replace my weak single low horn on my SR, something more appropriate for a truck without going to something like air horns. Selected these after listening to dozens of horn sounds, Seger 65H 420/500hz snail horns, Seger 60B 410/510Hz trumpet horns, Wolo Loud One 410Hz single horn, Wolo Maxi Sound 320-2T 410/510 Hz dual horns, Farbin 410/510Hz, Hella Supertone and Sharptone horns, etc. I want a traditional old school horn sound for my truck, don't care much for Euro buzz high frequency sound. Interestingly, I've found that the deep note PIAA Bass horns seem to be fairly popular in Japan these days, I guess they too are tired of the beep beep high pitched horns :D
    PIAA Superior Bass Horns 335/400 Hz sound, skipping to the horn sounds in some of these (the PIAA site video doesn't do the sound justice):

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzogLNvFdN4s://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkachJyc2A4&t=180s

    I will post a review when I get them installed in a couple of weeks.

    That's the main reason i ordered them from my local dealership. They price matched and that way if the tabs came in broken they could reorder in day. No hassle with shipping back if damaged. I made the parts guy open them and we inspected before i paid. Toyota needs to better pack the headlight for shipping. Try giving them a call and seeing if they can open them, inspect and add some more packing material before they tape back up.

    Got myself some new wheels and tires. I went with the Venomrex 602 in coal black 17x9 with a -12 offset with the red center cap inlays. I also got a set of 285/70/17 C rated Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I upgraded my suspension with some Bilstein 6112's in the front with the 600lb coils, they are set at 5/4. Waiting for 5160's to arrive next week for the rear. Got rid of the single add a leaf and went with Wheelers Off-Road multi 3 leaf progressive set up.

    Finally got my Auckey DR02 dash cam installed in the truck. This time using a different direct power supply that's tapped off the fuse for power outlet 1. It's Only powered when to key is on. Hopefully this works more reliable than the supply that came with it connected to the OBDII port used in my old Liberty.

    Also installed my blacked out EZ pass. Happy how both are not very noticeable from outside.IMG_20201226_140946.jpg
