    I guess I've got to start this very soon....

    Looks like we have the same taco .... How'd the anytime mod go? Easy to undo if you have to take it in for a service? Which video or thread did you reference for the '14 taco fog light mod?

    Last weekend I painted the inside of my cap, also swapped some bolts from securing my Thule racks with eye hook bolts, set the eyes on the inside of the cap to be able to install a cargo net on the bed ceiling for more storage. While I search for cargo nets I set bungees to get an idea of what it will look like

    I dont think so, not any hotter than before. Once the back window and tailgate are down its the same temp as outside right away.

    It was fairly easy to do, you have to be a little careful and force-full to get the relays out mine were pretty tight. Normal service the dealer would not even know it was done. If you need to reverse the mod you just unhook the wires and reinstall relay in original position. Here is the thread I used, give him the credit if you decide to do yours as well.

    I finally got rid of my drive line vibe! Seems like 3/4" CB drop is the sweet spot for a 2-3" rear lift. Im soo happy im vibe free now.
    I also redid my cab mount chol. Took even more off bc i was still rubbing it while backing up. Also smashed the pinch weld and cut more of the fender and flare. Now I shouldnt rub even when i go to a 34" tire. :D

    Installed cruise control this evening. Was stupid simple until I got to the clutch switch, then it was a royal pain. I couldn't get the wrench to turn enough to get the bolt out so I had to remove the lower dash and fuse panel to access it. If anybody needs info on how to do it just let me know.

    I turned that stupid annoying seat belt buzzer off that would beep insistently anytime I put something on the passenger seat and would go off again everytime I went over a bump and the load shifted thanks to a tip posted on the forum.

    Next up is that stupid TPS light.
