    So you write the number 7 like I do, the French way?

    BTW tell me about the rear springs, that's my next upgrade after tires.

    Brand new. My buddy who I bought it from had the frame replaced in August. It was definitely a selling point over the double cab I was also looking at that didn't have the frame done yet.

    I'm liking the ac more and more now. I had my heart set on a dc but I'm more than happy with this.

    Upsized the Tacoma from 265/75R16 to 255/85R16 tires.

    In the process I stumbled across a 1994 pick up.

    The pickup, got the hand me down tires and CL rims.

    I'm considering doing a full wrap. I'm back and forth between doing it, due to it will probably only last a few years here. I like the blue and would keep it if I repaint.

    I just put in the auxito 921 leds from Amazon and they blow away the stock incandescent bulbs. My reverse camera was almost useless at night before and now it's all I could want. The leds and heat sinks push into the bulb socket location in the reflectors but have a short wire connector that plugs into the actual bulb socket. The stock bulbs are rated ~200 lumens and the leds just over 2000 and it's believable.

    First snowfall of the year, let the fun begin! I will say, the DURATRAC’s are hands down amazing in the snow over the KO2’s.
