    I was thinking they were baked shortbread cookies but if that mouse is carrying a dozen bagels, I don’t want to meet that bad boy.

    Good morning CT. Last day before my 3 day weekend. :thumbsup:

    I was able to change the oil and coolant on my truck yesterday after work. It was way overdue.
    I took off the radiator cap and it fell apart (there may be a small part stuck in the radiator). I ordered a new one (through Lexus) and I should get it today.

    I can now recommend that everyone buy a new cap when you do your coolant change at 100,000 miles. My truck has 160,000 miles (way overdue).

    I also just had an idea on how to do an oil change without dropping the RCI skid plate. Maybe I can see if my idea will work on lunch.

    Oh damn, you have to drop the skid when doing an oil change? Does the drain plug not line up in the same location between the 4 banger and v6?

    It's close. I'll have a closer look today. The filter is on the side of the block, unlike a V6, so the oil will drip all over the skid plate. Maybe if I use a coffee can?

    LED interior, license plate, and fog lights. More to come.
    I've seen people do that. When I had my Ram with a 12V Cummins I would crack the filter free with the wrench and then triple up some plastic shopping bags, slide them over the filter and unthread it into the bags. Otherwise it would dump down onto the crossmember and front axle.

    Ok, first time I've seen that nice rare color in that parking lot! Think I'll post it in the forum of Tacomas parked near each other.
