Looks like issues with the clock spring in the steering wheel: https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Su...Systems&all=0&rn=2023386&cf=SearchResult&pg=0

 

Almost finished my solar aux battery setup. Wire is on the way for the inverter.











Wire management was much better in my head.

 

Got an awesome deal on some OEM style steelies to go with the 255/85r16s from a cool guy on facebook marketplace. Can’t wait to get them mounted.

 

Those flip up lights are pretty sweet. Gives me ideas...

 

I found this, and was not aware of it.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Recall

Thanks. Didnt want them sticking up. You can't see them at all when they're down. Stealth mode

 

How does anyone have a set of these things? I can only find singles that some bozo thinks is worth a fortune cause it has a zero mile 8 year old tire on it

 

You may know this already ... I just learned it a few days ago ...

Steelies take slightly different lugs than fancy mag wheels, and you will want hose steelie-lugs to run them full-time.

 

Put together a review of the Corbeau Trailcat Seats. It's been a year of long drives, daily driving and trail rides. Let me know if you have any questions.

washed mine.

 

Hope you’re getting m55s

 

Do you have to help up the swingarm where it latches?

 

New steering wheel.

 

Had a productive weekend and Monday (other than work today). Got the Sherpa mid-height rack and rtt installed and just now buttoned up some new RCI skids.

 

USB upgrades:

 

Honestly I was just extremely vigilant on Facebook marketplace haha. But I know exactly what you’re talking about.

 

Hmm I have the factory SR steelies on the truck now. Will those be ok?

 

Those are ever so slightly out of my skimpy price range but they’re extremely nice based on what some guys have told me

 

Yeah, a tiny bit. I'm not sure if that is to be or expected or if there is something I can adjust.

 

I might just message you about that.

Where I am is pretty safe and I try to avoid parking in unsafe locations.
