    Haha yea. I saw that from the pic too. But in person it's identical.. it's literally the sport grill from the dealer. But I think it's because the rest of my truck is very dirty and the grill is brand new. I'll get a better picture tomorrow after I get it washed up.

    Did an oil change today.

    Was excited as I was about to use my Fumoto valve for the first time. They claim that you don't get any oil on your hands.

    - nosed truck into garage
    - placed oil catch pan on floor under truck
    - opened the Fumoto valve... worked great, as I didn't get a spec of oil on my hands while draining the oil pan.
    - placed an empty water bottle under the oil filter catch tray drain and started to remove the filter
    - forgot to remove the black drain cap and the filter tray almost overflowed
    - screwed the filter back down (then wiped oil off my hands)
    - removed the black cap, but it fell into the bottle (I thought it fell on the floor)
    - wiped some more oil off my hands
    - removed the filter and let it drain into the bottle
    - put a thin film of oil on the filter gasket and replaced filter
    - wiped the fucking oil off my hands
    - closed the Fumoto valve and replaced the oil
    - checked oil and backed truck out of the garage
    - drained used oil back into the jug
    - looked for that little bastard cap
    - realized that the water bottle was still under the hood with the little black cap in it
    - retrieved water bottle and slowly poured out the oil into the jug
    - fucking filter catch drain cap slipped through my oily fingers and fell back into the fucking jug
    - wiped more fucking oil off my hands
    - poured the used oil and little fucking black cap out of the jug back into the oil catch pan
    - fished the MF cap out of the oil catch pan
    - wiped MF oil off my fucking hands again
    - reinstalled the little bastard cap
    - wiped more go**amn fucking oil off my hands
    - went back to the garage and poured the fucking used oil out of the fucking catch pan back into the go**damn jug again
    - brought the MF catch pan to the back of the garage
    - as I came around the corner (wiping my hands of course) to go back into the fucking garage, I kicked the go**amn MF open jug that my wife moved onto the gravel driveway while I was out back
    - wiped up and closed the fucking jug, wiped fucking oil off my hands, poured a cup of gasoline on the fucking spilled oil, set that afire, walked over to the truck, removed the little MF go**amn black cap and threw it into the bush

    ... smiled, and wiped the oil off my hands.

    Fuck you, Fumoto.

    Another trip to check out hunting spots with my 2 year old son yelling, "GO daddy, vroom-vroom, bump bump" the whole time.

    Pretty much a daily trip come this time of year and the Tacoma never disappoints. The 'locker anytime' mod is worth it's weight in gold, as are the BFG AT KO2 tires.

    I somehow sense you came home with a HUGE smile on your face. The combination of hunting, wheelin' in the Tacoma, and spending quality time with your son, ESPECIALLY the last part, has to make you appreciate life in the highest degree. That will be a memory that'll stay with you for your entire life.....his too.....

    Looking good. Leaving the swaybar off? Curious, if that affects alignment?

    I like to listen to all my old Richard Prior comedy albums. For some strange reason, your description of an oil change put me in mind to listen to them again. I wonder why the FUCK that is?

    It's so detailed it's like you took copious notes throughout the ordeal.
