    Eh, to each their own.

    In today's stupid. I got in the truck (I've owned it a year and a half at this point), drove to the gym. Came back out, hear a metallic rattling when I turn. Think, okay, something broke loose. So I drive around and listen, it only happens when I'm taking off or otherwise giving it the beans. Get home, park it, realize it's happening intermittently parked, so definitely something vibration based. Exhaust? Fan?

    Get under the truck since I hear it more on the driver's side. Stupid catalytic converter internal heat shield is loose. I didn't even look to see what was wrong, I just went inside so it could cool off. Come back out later, the two bolts that hold the internal heat shield sandwiched between the parts of the external heat shield are gone. I have no idea what happened to them, I haven't touched that area ever, why in the world did it take a year and a half to finally vibrate loose.

    Whatever. New bolts and nuts in place now. No more rattle.

    What were the lead time on their sliders? Been thinking of ordering some from them since they're local.

    Yeah there's a lot of sacrificing in having that as a daily or anything else. It's common where I live so I don't really think about it much and not limited to Tacomas.
    Personally, builds that large just aren't functional, but I'm positive that wasn't their end goal. haha.

    Found an open box dealer at the badlands 12k winch I’ve been eyeing for the last month. The previous buyer said they didn’t like how it looked. I argue the opposite. Just need to paint the cover. Works like a charm, got $150 off also!
