    Like those OEM TX series wheels. Wish the stock were still on mine when I got it.

    Thanks man!

    I've thought about getting new wheels, but can't let these go right now. I think they look great, even though they are fake beadlocks.

    Just got a 5th one as a spare, thankfully they are still making them, though not easy on the wallet

    You did the job yourself I take it…
    Was it fairly straight forward?
    How many hours?

    I want to get these Baja Design fog lights from a local FB marketplace ad but I'm unsure if the brackets will fit a 2012-15 Tacoma OR... anybody know from looking at these pics? Much appreciated...

    It was straight forward....i had a neighbor hanging with me talking so that slowed it down a bit. If I focused and just worked it'd be 2 hours....but took me a little over 3 at a casual rate. The only unexpected thing (minor) is the new pump didn't come with studs so I had to transfer those over. An extra 10 to 15 minutes while I complained for no real reason.

    Gotta love when the part you're changing isn't burried behind a manifold or something else that takes time.

    Haven't paid attention to bike racks in a while....but I like that design, swing it out of the way like that is sweet.

    Yep, I'm pretty sure those will fit. This is from someone on their 5th set of aftermarket fog lights, soon to be 6th if Diode Dynamics runs a good labor day sale.

    Any fog light for a 5th gen 4runner, 2014-2021 tundra or 2012-2023 tacoma is interchangeable.

    This was a couple of months ago but keep meaning to share. Had a mobile tire installer come to my place and put fresh rubber on the Taco, Explorer, and JK. Didn't have to make appointments, coordinate the wife / kids schedules...was nice. Price was equivalent....but convenience was nice.

    Washed after another successful road trip. Somewhere around 5 or 6k miles, probably. But did hit the 200k mark "officially" on the odo. By my calculations, the truck is probably at 210k though, given the larger diameter tires for it's whole life.

    Over the weekend I used it to haul a mini skid and fence posts. Mini skid was heavy and surge brakes didn't help at all.

    Almost forgot to get a pic of it when I was unloading.
