    All of the smaller terminals that I ordered from https://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Elec__Products/Connectors/connectors.html were wrong :(
    Entirely my fault. They were close but no. The connectors/terminals for the power mirrors and inverter are correct.

    I have to stop in to my local dealer and get some terminals. I could try easternbeaver again but shipping takes a long time and they might still be wrong.

    my URD intake needed a new mount.. the stock mounting nut pulled though the front sheet metal from bouncing around.. so i made a new mount that wont let it bounce anywhere..

    Taco Tunes rear speakers. Did the fronts a while back and loved the difference. Backs sound much better..... if your ears are down by your ankles and sitting in the back.
    Ah well, it does sound better and I know I can upgrade to a bigger system one day.

    I'll probably need to do this to mine. I do a lot of bouncing when I'm really going at it.

    Love it! I had done the hood black but removed it. I really like yours though with the punisher logo. You’re making me think seriously about redoing my headlights also.

    Need help driving from Minneapolis to black hills i started hearing a knock and felt it under my foot, drivers footwell, climbed under and couldnt find anything loose or what could have done it. Happened a few times then a couple smaller bumps and now nothing. Only thing under there is exhaust and front drive shaft. Wasnt in 4x4 so shouldn't have been turning. Any ideas? Spending the next week and a half off grid so I don't want something to go wrong out there.

    so far its def made a world of difference .. before the intake piping would rub on the part where it goes through the core support a bit.. now it sits perfectly center in the hole and doesnt touch the core support

    Don't rule out your front DS. If the wheels are turning, it's turning....the tail is wagging the dog.

    I have no ideas on what to check, just wanted to point that out. Hope you find it.

    Sure... something specific you're looking for in the side view? I'm pretty much stock TRD Sport, so there's not much special to see from the side.

    Just ordered a RCI fuel tank skid plate (weird that it's cheaper than the factory one).
    I already installed TRD Off-Road tank straps some time ago.

    I will clarify that when painting the hood I left the insert out, in anticipation of a future light bar insert mod install.... I was concerned with rain/ wash water intrusion but have not seen any issues in about 2 year so far.

    Lol I love the "I'm pretty much a stock TRD Sport..." part. It reminds me of when I was telling my girlfriend about a time in the desert and I described the scene as, "we were a bunch of Tacomas..." and she started laughing and she asked me how long I had been a truck before I was a human.
