    I would buy from Oskar again if I needed something he had for sale...

    I bought more mint pouches than a tabacky dipper trying to quit and stuffed them in the various compartments throughout the cab.

    Now everything smells like a peppermint factory and the mice have something tasty to chew on.

    ^^ I have 3 cars loaded up with mint stuff and FreshCab after losing a car to dead animal smell !!

    Got my oil changed at the dealer. I happened to be peaking around the corner and see the 'tech' trying to get the filter unscrewed...16" wrench handle try one>> he looks at it.... try 2: another pause and some rubber hammer taps, Try three, pause, more rubber hammer, try 4. Then another guy steps over with a 3 foot breaker bar. No kidding ! More than shoulder wide ! And that took care of it.
    I also got new winter tires and stopped on the way home to get a beauty shot.

    When I got home, I put the new tailgate inner on.

    My 22 has 33k on it and it get a worn out truck ujoint kind of pop when i put it in reverse or back into drive, like there is a ridiculous amount of slop in what should feel like a tight new driveline. I've tried a couple of different scenarios and can only duplicate it when its cold/first drive of the day.

    as for staying on topic...I have an SR and picked up some SR5 painted flares from a local guy today for a steal. I'm going to wrap them in forged carbon fiber vinyl and see how that looks. if thats a failure I'll just do semi-flat black.

    I guess that's what a warranty is for. Most trucks have no issues but if something went wrong you're covered. I've been driving high mileage (well, they started out new) Toyotas for decades and have never had a major problem. But it could happen.

    Yep. My 2013 has 257k and no problems. Glad for the warranty and glad the dealership was honest. Drove jeeps for years and my last, 2009 rubicon was a turd on wheels. Dealership jerked me off till warranty was up and then stuck it to me. Glad I’m not in that situation again.

    Hmmmmmm? I have a thought as to why my mpg is terrible!! I’ve said it before, maybe my rear gear backlash is set to tight causing extra drag? It was a joke but who knows? I get a little clank when I hit the brake in reverse and then again moving forward for the first application? Like the shoes/ pads are seating or a bit loose. I’m almost at 30k on a 2023. I also have a transfer case drip at the rear output, got to have to looked at as well.

    The main one was the lane change from 3 to 7 blinks, and looking to see what all it had available to do..

    But I also am going to see if it will do anything with my daughters car and maybe a few other vehicles out there... Neighbor has a 2024 Taco 4x4 (don't know the trim level), might get with him and check it out...

    Finished building my rear seat delete. There is a rubber mat that sits on top, not pictured.

    Thanks! Took multiple iterations (kept breaking the holder).I'm likely going to change the mounting 'box' and add through holes for an acrylic sheet protector.

    A switch pro (on a high amp switch) is able to run the starlink mini, using one of the starlink waterproof cables. I'm currently using the 15m cable (cut to length), unsure if the 30m and 15m cable have different gauge wire. Avg draw is less than 40w

    Nicely done! :thumbsup:

    So, it’s looks like your only hard attachment points are the two bolts in the rear center, is that correct?

    Thank you!
    You are correct. The seatbelt bolt locations are the only attachment. The plywood is double thick in this area, 1.5" total.

    @Atlantaco78, nice job. Any particular reason some of the tee nuts are counterbored deeply? Just asking to capitalize on your hard work and thoughts if I go this plywood route.

    I counter bored all but 2 of them. I could have done them all but saw no reason for the 2 in the front center. I did it on the sides to prevent sharp points when reaching under the platform. The others were to prevent low spots where it could possibly make contact with the carpet or plastic storage tray.
    The bolts are all 1/4-20x1-1/4" for counter bored holes. The other 2 are 1/4-20x1-1/2".
    There are 6 bolts in total that hold the vertical front board on, all 1/4-20x1-1/2". These thread into threaded inserts (rivets) in the aluminum angles.
    It all seems sturdy.
    Thank you!
