you can do the same A pillar Ram Mount mod that's pretty popular, on the Pass side A pillar. I haven't but the Drivers side pillar mount proves it's worth to me every day. Like @Steevoreeno i ran the power supply under the dash and out the pillar moulding. Phone is completely away from the windshield but in the field of view. not as important on the Pass side of course.

This is how the the Nova looks on silver, also these are the matte black color not the Alpha Black. Ignore my flaky paint...that's on the list

My grampa would call me a bonehead when I did something that I knew was dumb but did it anyway. Hahaha.
40 years later I’ve learned to listen. A little...

Changed my oil last weekend and noticed my coolant overflow tank was low as well as super dirty. Pics here:

Is this a sign of anything to come? Or typical of any condition of the cooling system? From my quick view it looks like the little hose on top is where its coming out from. Maybe i should replace that hose and put a clamp on it?

I topped off the level and cleaned it all up so i can see if there is a leak from any specific area:

Mine did the same a while ago.
I noticed it was running low and I religiously check my fluid levels. I thought I might have a leak.
So I topped it up and many months later it is still full.

Very strange.

AlphaRex is definitely a product to be avoided. Huge amounts of foreground light and no distance light, the light pattern is literally backwards and not a legitimate headlight at all. They clearly lack any optical engineering expertise and are just throwing some LEDs in there to sell flood lights as headlights to people that don't know better. They are literally just cheap China Alibaba headlights made by Vland relabeled and sold domestically under the AlphaRex brand at a huge markup to uniformed people. You can buy them direct off Alibaba out of China yourself for a significant cost savings. Granted they are horrible headlights, so that wouldn't be advised at all.

I'm in desperate need of new lights... what's your recommendation?
My lenses have major cracking and sydering.

Bed camper build and sliders installed this weekend. Good thing my buddy @disconnected had a warm garage for us to work in.
Bed build to get carpet and foam yet. But it's a good start.

He's going to recommend OEM replacements. Here is a link to his headlight thread.

How did you hear about a 2023 redesign?
While I hope that happens, that would be quick compared to how long the former generations lasted.

We should know more about the '22 Tundra very soon, but there has been nothing official (or leaked) about the '23 4Runner or Tacoma. I'm keeping a watchful eye out for my customers lol.

When it does happen, expect some sort of Hybrid option as that's Toyota's focus over the next few years.

Painted my badges over the weekend...

These came in the mail today. I'm hoping to install them this weekend, but I'm still waiting on the CaliRaised switch to arrive (which should be in a day or so), and it's supposed to rain for the next five days, so we'll see. I'll post up pics when I do though.

Nice! I was thinking of getting those ones. You should let us know how they turn out when you mount em

I did mine with 180k miles or so. The rear end tires were wearing out unevenly. I tried so many thing to fix it and it turned out that it needed a tranny flush. It's been perfect since.
