I would like to tell you that I have these cool @CaliRaisedLed sliders on my Taco. I can half (maybe 3/4) tell you that yes, I do (along with a number of other @CaliRaisedLed products that I have on my truck and like very much).

I purchased the 0 degree sliders from @TheTacoGarage here in San Diego (Chula Vista, actually). But the tread plates were not available, though they said they are on order. This was back in February. After waiting and several contacts with TacoGarage, I decided to reach out to @CaliRaisedLed myself. On March 25th I contacted Customer Service and wrote "Hi...around mid-February I bought a set of your sliders that take filler plates from TacoGarage in Chula Vista, CA (part of San Diego). He did not have filler plates for them, but I had him install anyway. Great sliders, btw. He has the filler plates on order with you but have not arrived yet. Was wondering what the lead times are to get the plates in to his business so he can get them installed on my sliders? Thanks!"

On March 29th Jacob from @CaliRaisedLed replied "Hi David, We are currently manufacturing these products. We will be finished soon! Thanks." Cool.

On April 19th I replied to Jacob, "Hi…any update on when these filler plates will ship? Thanks." Jacob replied promptly on the 19th, "Hi David, We are working on our order with Taco Garage, I believe right now we are just waiting on pallets to ship everything. Thanks!" Um, OK.

On May 5th I replied to Jacob, "Hi…touching base. Has a the order shipped yet? Thanks." Radio silence from Jacob.

So, my conclusion is that since April 19th @CaliRaisedLed has been unable to ship ANY product to ANYONE that required a pallet to ship on. Now, I know wood is a bit of an issue these days and has gotten expensive. But really?

I do have to put in a word for @TacoGarage. I've also been asking them all along. On May 7th I pinged them once more. They replied, "We’ve been waiting for that Cali raised order since, I’m very sorry, it’s taking forever for them to ship. They’ve been telling “one more week” for months now and unfortunately we can only tel you the same thing. If you want I can give you some of your money back instead but the order is there and will be here eventually." As you can see, they are trying to make it right, unlike @CaliRaisedLed." I did tell @TacoGarage that I'd wait. Of course I suspect after this post @CaliRaisedLed will never manufacture and ship a set of slider treads again.

Some day, maybe, I will happily post a pic of my new sliders complete with the treads that should have be on them in the first place.

I actually read an article about the pallet shortages and hoarding due to the shortage. People are making money off of it. If they find pallets they buy all they can and sit on them waiting for a buyer. It is crazy to say it nicely. Hope you can get your parts soon.

Ah love this! You are the best! I would have never noticed this haha.

Nothing interesting so I didn't take pictures.

About to hit 35k so I cleaned out the throttle body, the battery got cleaned up since it's getting crazy hot in AZ, and put some Lucas in the fuel tank before filling up.

I may have posted this years ago but I installed these toolbox/tailgater lights roughly 4 years ago, from @mattgecko, and, just like the hood light kit, they have worked flawlessly over the years.

I've had this horrible mold smell in my truck for a week. Today I ripped out my interior to find the padding under the rug was wet, and the smell was coming from that.

Also, there was still a gap at the third brake light even after the dealership bent me over fixing it when it failed, so I siliconed it.

Ridiculous. Not what I wanted to do this week.

Sorry about the leak. I can't believe how much you tore out. I would put sound deadener in if I went that far. BTW who made your Sub Box?

Swapped the 2021 taillights for some red/black chrome one.

Installed the eibach front shocks and springs. Tomorrow I’ll be installing the shocks and icon AAL on the rear before taking it in for alignment on Friday.
