    Was just looking at that one, trying to find a USB/car charger for it.

    High Tech Auto in Chantilly does good work. Usually a little more expensive but they used to be an truck only shop so all the mechanics there know how to work on trucks and offroad oriented builds

    I'm going to pick up these for mine. $23 for a double sized battery and a usb charger so no more dead batteries on the trail

    Do it! What I did was schedule the test like 4 days in advance. It forced me to study, and I went in and finished the test in 5 minutes and only missed 1 question out of 35.

    Thinking this would be the right way to do it.

    You can program the radio to have presets with channels and stuff, but I've had my battery out of the radio or a completely dead battery and it still saves what I had before.

    One of these is also very handy. More of a luxury but it's nice to leave the radio clipped on your pocket and have this up on your jacket. Or if on the highway leave the radio in the cup holder and clip this on your seatbelt.

    Guess I need to have a quick chat with the wife-accountant. Anyone want to buy some OEM Tacoma steps?

    I did but I've since gotten predator steps as I don't really need true sliders, just a step for the wife.

    Haha I haven't gone that far but it was worth getting the steps so that I don't have to listen to the complaints anymore. I should've held out for sliders though.

    well its a good thing you didnt buy sliders yet since youre still considering getting a new vehicle at some point. so im sure the steps are more than worth it!

    I've been back and forth every couple of weeks for the last year now. At this point, I've just decided I am going to keep the truck until I have to get rid of it, whether that's a major mechanical failure or change in seating/power requirements. But I would be lying to you if I said I haven't felt the urge to buy a full size recently.
