    Thank goodness another engineer told everyone they were an engineer!

    One thing is clear, a carpenter you are not good Sir.

    Please tell me that is a work bench or some reloading bench in your garage and not an actual piece of furniture you slapped a $3 stud brace on :boink:.

    I’m not an engineer either. I’m a Quality Assurance Technician. That cross member doesn’t look the same height as the board it is attached to.

    Good idea...one of my bolts has to be drilled out (CAT Plate) since I can't remove it so I tried my best to remove oil pan bolt without too much splash.

    In the side pic you can see where it puddled. I was able to clean it but it was a challenge getting to the spot.

    I successfully installed OEM Bed Step last night after throwing a few F bombs! , I hope it doesn't break... the actual step is only held by three screws that directly bolt on to it. No metal on the opposite side for the screw, different from video's that I watched...

    Toyota has been doing this in the fall for years (maybe other times too), and no, when I've checked and the one time I bought they did not increase the price. It's a real sale.
    In my area lots of shops have a tire sale in the fall so just shop around for your bottom line price. If Toyota has the tires you want it's a good deal. I don't remember if they include free balance and rotation like some other places.

    Through my insurance company (USAA) I can get Goodyear tires for 25% off any day, plus they usually have a rebate deal so I usually do that. Saves me money but sometimes I want to try another tire.

    I haven't have an issue with people saying they have a hard time hearing me but then again I do talk a bit louder than most folks.

    I didn't even remove my A pillar. I just stuffed it against the headliner and A pillar then used a plastic trim removal tool and pushed the wire into the headliner and pillar. It's been that way for over a month now and hasn't fallen out.

    I did not do this all all today, but recently welded up some rock sliders purchased through XO Fab. Also installed a 2wd low mod.

    Well ordered a K&N Cold Air intake for my Taco since I liked just the K&N Drop in filter results with the OTT tune so much. So this should be an even bigger improvement and I canceled my S&B cold air intake order. I thought it was in stock and after 10 days and 3 days it saying preparing to ship I called the dealer and they said there waiting for a reply from S&B shipping notification so at this point I said cancel it. My K&N should be here Sunday so depending what time it arrives it’s going on :fingerscrossed::thumbsup:

    The issue I had when installing my stiffeners was the small diameter washers used with the bolts at the rear of the holes. A lot of stress over a small area. I plan on making lengthy backing plates i. e. straps connecting the bolts to spread the stress over a large area.

    Installed a knock off Pro grille with the smoked LED amber lights I found on Amazon. Quality seems good. Plastic is finished well and thickness is consistent. A few burrs at the seams from the mold that needed to be sanded, but no biggie. Came with sensor plate and relocation of the TSS sensor was fairly straight forward. Always liked the look of the Pro grilles better. Toyota should just make it standard on all TRD models. Did the same grille replacement on my 2018 T4R OR. I knew before I even bought the Taco that this would be the first modification. Next is to replace the shift knob with something custom. Just need to find a finishing trim piece for the shift boot. The knobs I've found and like, are all for other Toyota products that don't have the boot trim clip.
    BTW, just took delivery several weeks ago.

    If it's like my quarter panel TRD OR sticker, believe me when I say it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

    It took a lot of work to get that thing off, and even then I had to use a 3M wheel to get the residue off.

    Unless it's already coming off for some reason, I wouldn't worry about it.
