    Pulled all wheels to check torque on my spacers. While I had them off, checked all the suspension components I installed a few months ago to make sure everything was good. Then bought a t55 Torx to tighten the bed bolts, and ended the day with a wash.

    Oil change light is on, so I'll have to take care of that in a day or two.

    Tube steps, bull bar and KC Hilites, trifold bed cover, variety of shifter knobs, comparing LED strip options, lift possibilities (prob 2 inch), and exhaust mods to tune growling on low end...
    any tips/tricks on how to remove the three plastic anchors that hold the rear mudflaps on 2013 Tacoma? I removed one, but it seemed to be too much brute force (almost ruining the plastic fastener)... is there a more proper technique? or, are those pieces actually one-and-done, intended to be destroyed upon removal, and do i need to have replacements at the ready?

    There is a tool that I used for popping door panel clips that did the job. Although they call them suicide clips for a reason. Its not uncommon that they break

    Use a small/sharp screwdriver or knife blade to pop out the center part, then pull out the entire piece. This worked on 4 of the 6 that I removed. The other two committed suicide...

    Looks like the shrub won. Wait! What the hell were you doing yard work at 3 am? Were you loaded? No matter how sober you were, the tree one.
