    Has anyone replaced an antenna mast on a 2013 t4r? I remember it being a pita to swap the base out, requiring pulling the fender liner as well as going inside under the glove box area on my 2010 taco. The girlfriends antenna did the same thing mine did. Stubby antenna let water in, threads rusted out, and it broke off. Just looking for a good write up and part#s to get it fixed up for her.

    Thanks in advance!

    Edit: crap wrong thread. Disregard :facepalm:

    Parts pile is growing. So far the motherboard, RAM, and the 1gb NVMe drive are all here. The CPU gets delivered tomorrow.

    EDIT: Mrs Taco ordered the PSU and forgot to tell me so that is on the way as well.

    If you guys are dropping a couple thousand on a PC to crank through some spreadsheets and watch YouTube you are doing it all wrong.

    At first I was thinking you were going to drop the CAD into Cura for a 3D print, but that is WAY cooler.

    Well done, excellent execution!:cheers:

    Thanks!

    I've got Solidworks and Fusion360 but do all the easy, quick to do stuff on Fusion since I can go from CAD to CAM to CNC plasma all within minutes.

    as far as I'm concerned having SW is like having a ratchet in the toolbox. Having CAD is just so dang handy

    I aspire to be at your level with a CNC plasma one day, that's so rad!

    That's for sure! Though I imagine not many people have it as a hobby since it's like $1600 a year.

    Only $20 a year for me :anonymous:

    Makes sense; I didn't even want to get it since I prefer drawing in 2D and inquired about Draftsight.

    Got a reply stating I could get a bundle of 6 different SolidWorks programs for said amount so I said "why not?".
