    I came close to giving up on mine too, I had to use both legs and both arms like a deadlift on 2 prybars to get mine to let loose. Those things seat hard!

    Installed some Marlin LCA Gussets last night. Made some modifications to them to work with the taco tabs.

    I also succeeded in convincing someone else at work to go with a Tacoma. It’s not a second gen but I guess it will have to do.

    Nope. I haven't even started. Basically all of my accessories are wired already. Rewiring things is a pain, but I want to organize my bay a bit

    Big weekend. Finally finished up my rear seat delete and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.


    Finally got around to putting my rear passenger window vent back on. Didn't take a pic. Then I went to replace my front bump stops and got stopped. :annoyed:


    I have to drop my LCA to get a extractor in there but I couldn't find my 24mm. Of course I tried to get one more thing done before a 4 day camping trip this weekend and I had to snap the bitch off in there!

    Same thing happened to my front bump. I just drilled another hole about 1/4 inch behind the original. Works fine, hits the same spot as the other bump too

    I was hesitant about it, but taking off the lca just to drill out a broken bolt didn't seem worth it to me

    More like "water resistant" because I found that even using large-gap weather striping, the seal between the metal frame and door is still kind of loose. If nothing else, it should help minimize rattling.

    I followed the process in this YT video, but used a different brand weather striping that was available on Amazon. It's in addition to (not replacing) the stock weather striping.

    They are the Hooke Offroad ones. I installed their center console lockbox a few months ago, and good or bad, all 3 lockboxes use the same key... It's convenient having only 1 key on the keychain, but a little unsettling that all their products use the exact same lock/key combo. A lock just keeps honest people honest any way.

    true, but it’s also a deterrent from thefts of opportunity. That makes up the majority of petty crime here… mainly just people grabbing stuff and going.
