    We got rain overnight. If you can call it that.

    It was so lackluster it merely made things damp and glued the pollen back onto the truck.

    It rained decently up in Georgetown. And was still raining (annoying drizzle) on the way to work this morning.

    Had just a little bit of rain in Pville this early this morning, enough to make things nasty with pollen.

    Really hoping my cv axle arrives at the dealer soon, not liking driving around with the boot torn..

    Not 100% sure but any automotive aftermarket shop will probably be able to do it. Like Custom Sounds or any other place that wires up Alarms/remote starts and things like that. I've never had anyone ask about that but have seen a lot of people install stealth ignition switches that would disable the vehicle if you don't know where it is.

    Ant performance shop should be able to handle that.

    I got my plumbing and HVAC certifications from there. Good school, but some of the profs are a little odd.

    Stupid reman axle is on national backorder with no real good eta for arrival. Cancelled my order and bought a new OEM CV axle. Installing tomorrow because I want to change the dust seal on the back of the spindle. The dealership will have one tomorrow morning..

    Does anyone have recommendations for an Austin-area auto shop to install Bilstein 5100s on my '22 SR5 4WD? Looking to level it and give me better ride for off road camping, driving around a ranch - while still being my daily ride.

    I'm assuming any good shop can install these properly, but would like to start now with a shop that can take care of potential future mods and maintenance for my Tacoma down the road. Planning on putting a lot of miles on her.

    I can help if you're patient. I'm very booked up, and is my side business. Check out Triple C Chop Shop on FB and IG.
