    Rims and tires on a couple weeks ago. Got out camping on a friends property in the woods off the grid to test some new gear. Awning is a life saver in the rain. This weekend real shakedown in the forests up north.

    From this weekend. Polished the paint with Sonax Perfect Finish. Applied CSL followed by 2 coats of ExoV4. New headlights installed, new grill installed. Steamed off the Lamin-X yellow foglight covers. 4x4 badge removed from tailgate. Started to remove Yeti Rescue stickers. New wheels are on their way. 2nd life of this 10 year old Tacoma has begun.

    Man, the Fumoto valve really seems to be hanging down quite a bit. Aren't you concerned that a rock or something might shear it off? Does it really stick out that much or is it just the camera angle?

    What valve model did you use?

    im normally in 2nd when on trails - i run 34"s and am stock gearing so my trans hates me. main issue is air flow at low speeds i think - it did not surpass 200f and historically i've seen 220 on the same trail.

    Installed a new tailgate latch with a backup camera then spent the rest of the day on my back threading the wire along the frame to the front dashboard.

    Also got the Grid Mod installed after much grumbling and Dremel-ing. Not sure if I like it since I found that the more stuff you put on the grid, the more likely that the console cover won't stay up when you open it. Will have to live with it for a while.

    :facepalm:how did I miss this. I like that high flow rate notion. I JUST went with the 103SX, thinking it's the latest and greatest. Not the biggest deal since the slower rate adds a few minutes to something you do maybe 3 - 4 times a year?

    Its the Limelight 3 person. I have loved it so far. Great features and loads of space in there.

    This valve model is the F103S. It definitely looks like it’s hanging down far, especially compared to the stock drain plug. I’m not too worried about it right now because I’m in Germany and they don’t allow off-roading. The closest thing I can get is driving on forest roads to my hunting area. When I get back to the states I will have to re-evaluate.

    Yeah no idea, I guess it depends on how good your welds are also.

    Quality front skid plate will solve that problem. Most are cut for oil change access anyway. I wouldn't go offroading with the exposed Fumoto valve.

    Can you provide me the link to the size Grid-It you got? I ordered one off Amazon but it doesn't cover the full lid of the armrest. And if you could point me in the right direction of whatever tip you found to work best on the dremel?
