    Good morning. Happy Friday! :wave:

    Bringing my truck into work tomorrow. Hopefully my parts arrive today or tomorrow.
    I don't have much planned for the truck tomorrow. I can probably finish putting down primer on my sliders.

    (I also really need to update my build thread)

    Good evening CT.
    Called Toyota to check on my parts. They said they will be there when I pick them up tomorrow.
    I have a suspicion that they won't. Can't put my center console back in without one of them.

    Is it bad that I'm sitting here looking at truck stuff on Amazon? :anonymous:

    So. Put a third coat of primer down on the first slider after work yesterday. Going in today to put down one more coat and then start on the second slider.
    I lightly scuffed the surface in between coats. Made sure there wasn't a car in my bay or next to me so I don't have to worry about overspray.

    Happy Saturday.

    Off to NYC to go to Radio City Music Hall for the youngest, for some fun stuff with her dance studio.

    The grommet I ordered was the correct size. :thumbsup:
    I replaced the engine air filter, cabin air filter, and wiper inserts and then took measurements so I could order the correct length cables I need.
    Finished with the first rock slider. Laid down the first coat of primer on the second one.

    Ordered the mic cable and two different lengths of antenna cable, 6 foot and 10 ft. Still unsure if the Auxbeam cable in the box is going to be long enough. I think it will be.

    Good morning CT.

    Just a day to relax, :washing: and :pccoffee:. The usual.

    We are going to be working Saturdays (one day off during the week). They need to figure out the schedule.


    Happy Birthday @vssman

    About the too long Auxbeam cable. The part that plugs into the relay box, it looks like a 4 pin fan header for a PC. If so, I could just cut the cable to the length I need, crimp on new terminals (I have a bunch from when I moved my PC parts into a new case), and then install the cable. We shall see how long the cable actually is. I'll order the Auxbeam today. Have some money in my PayPal account I didn't know about. :confused:

    Just checked the weather. Saturday the 11th. 4-5 inches of snow?
