    Awesome build. How big a difference did the sound proofing make?

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    All that extra effort to keep the clutch usable.

    Oh? not advanced fiber glass eh? I go those to replace my shattered fiberwerx ones. Always liked the look of them way better and now that the Son is running the company its very reliable.


    Also, while tubbing is great. Pending how far out your LT plans are, half of it is worthless after that so even if it rubbed a bit on the inside, LT will solve that issue haha


    I think it looks good.. :spy:

    Actually I don't think my wheels are 3.5'' BS.

    Still LT pushes any wheel no matter what the BS is way the fuck out there. Fiberglass fenders do not cover them especially with 35s.

    I installed a President Bill II CB to go with the GMRS radio we already had in place. Nice little CB and it does FM so that's a bonus.

    I replaced the starter recently, and fixed my leaking valve covers on my 3.4L, next up is the squeaking fan bracket bearing when I do the timing belt next month.

    I like the sub box. But at the same time, such valuable space gone in the single cab.

    Joined the Wet Ass club. Wow, they got em done quick, only 6 days! I was expecting them to be 3-4 weeks. I ordered them last Sat, got an email Fri saying they were done. Went & picked them up yesterday. I got them w/ oem style map pockets & sunglasses pockets (not gonna actually put glasses inside them though) on both front seats.

    Also swapped the shift knob out for a black one. And fixed my driver side door weatherstrip. Mine surprising hasn't worn though yet but it's been ripped for years. Finally decided to fix it while I had the seats out (not that I needed the seats out to fix it).

    Oh I didn't replace it, just repaired it. I glued the rip. Just used rubber cement, after it dried I put a coat on top too. Can't even really see the rip now unless you look really close at it. It seems to be holding up fine so far. If it doesn't I'll go and buy weatherstrip adhesive.

    When it ripped, took me a while but I broke my habit of dragging my foot across it which of course is what caused it to rip.

    Oh nice. Once upon a time mine would've been repairable, but it's far too gone at this point.
