    Seat Jackers!
    So far the seating position is comfortable with my longer legs. I feel like I am sitting much higher in the cab even though they are only 1.25" risers. A road trip will tell if these make a big difference. I plan on designing and 3D printing a panel system to mount things to.








    The truck is in need of a spring detail soon.

    Yep, I have a habit of holding on and hoarding. Need to learn to let go. I still have my starter motorcycle (Vstar 650 bobbed out) even though I’m on a 950 now. Still have my grandpas old f150 I can’t bring myself to part with even though it needs even more work than the taco (he passed away in 2017ish).

    Wish the seats in our trucks were a bit better. Mine are tearing in the same spot, and now the seat covers I bought are tearing....

    It's so shitty man! The top view of the seats is worse. So far they are rubbing apart but not ripping.
    I think it's from the shape of the seat and how we rub our ass getting out lol

    I am looking at PRP seat covers. I might get them reinforced at those outer seams if I order them. The hardest part is finding and deciding on the right colour combo lol

    Honestly I would go with 488s I got 529s in mine and you're going to have to recalibrate your speedo currently when I'm doing 85. My speedo thinks I'm doing 100 in governance itself. If your going to crawl through some rocks, go bigger but 529 is overkill unless you're going north of 37-in tires

    Made my own connector for the 4-pin aviation plug on the aftermarket camera system out of (4) basketball inflation needles, heat shrink tubing, wire loom and black tape in order to wire in the new camera. Wish now that I had taken a pic of the finished product.

    IMG_3699.jpg IMG_3704.jpg

    And improved the contacts at the A/C control panel by adding a thin layer of solder so that the lights make better contact. No pics. Got tired of having to pop it off and re-seat the tiny @%$&! light bulbs (84999-10090).
