    Thank you, couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Dig through the forums in Tacomaworld, specifically the “show off your Wet Okele” threads. I scoured the threads until I found Tacos with my exterior/interior with Wet Okeles that matched. Black matches everything, just a thought. Good luck on finding a set that works for you!

    Classic Allpro. haha. I had to open up the bolt holes with a file to get them to align properly. All-in-all, they're still an awesome bang for the buck though. Especially considering you have no other options with their bumper. haha.

    I'm pretty sure your truck has it if it's CA truck & non-cold spec. If you look on the bottom of the resivoir you'll see the pump mounted on the side of it & the fluid sensor is mounted in a larger round grommet at the very bottom.

    I don't use my washer fluid often. In the 14 yrs I've had my truck I've only seen it come on once and I've only had to fill it twice, second time a few months ago when I replaced the resevoir. The non-cold spec res holds a lot, like a gallon.

    yeah you're probably right, I think I do have it I just never run out of fluid lol. I always top it off when I do my oil changes and don't even use it all that much to begin with.

    Since replacing my radiator in March, two of my freeze plugs have rusted out. The first one was behind an engine mount, so the shop replaced that. This latest one was behind the starter, so I took care of it. I'm sure the rest aren't too far behind.

    What am I doing to my Tacoma tonight...

    My 255/85 ST Maxx's get put on tomorrow AM, so I need to cut back my pinch weld and try to grind about a half inch off the corner of the end of my sliders. My 32s only clear it by about an inch right now, hoping I can grind away a bit more clearance with my angle grinder.

    I got the winch controller mounting sorted this weekend. I ended up deciding to mount it above the winch, and in front of the grille. It ended up pretty good for a first shot and a couple hours of work. Ideally it would be a bit more level but whatever, it works great for now. I'm probably going to pull it off, tweak the bracket a bit so it sits level, and paint it black so it blends in a bit better.
