    Did you decide that you don't need the swingarms after all, or are you planning to weld on the hinge tabs once the arms are available? Just curious.

    Your truck looks great!

    Picked up these rough country seat covers for $45 locally. Not crazy about the fit, but they’ll do.

    I was tired of waiting for the swing arm model. Knowing I can always weld on the spindles later for the swing arms when/if they ever get released, makes it less of an issue. I doubt the swing arm model will be released this year, IMO. I'd rather have a rear armored bumper than none at all for an entire season. Now that I am dropping some weight with my new build direction, I would rather have the swing arms. Guess we'll see how it plays out!

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    If I weren't a week behind, I'd have recommended the same thing. I pulled a Focus from Detroit to DC. About the best way to handle this. Glad you had better luck with Penske. My experience was less than ideal when we moved the household from Detroit to the DC area.

    Ah things were/are so dynamic here. At the time of that post, yeah, we were gonna do the Penske route.
    Now officially concrete plans are letting Pods handle the move (cheaper than Penske…) and I’ll be towing the wife’s Accord up. Taco will handle like a champ and we don’t have to fly 2 people back home after they accompany us if we had gone the Penske route.

    I added a VIAIR 88P to my emergency kit in the truck along with a decent quality tire plug kit.

    My truck is actually in the shop overnight to fix a nagging brake squeak - happens every time just the truck comes to a complete stop. After doing various things the dealership elevated it to Toyota Technical Assistance who recommended putting new drums on the truck. Parts have been ordered for overnight so, hopefully, I'll get it back tomorrow.

    I wish we had done pods. We were going to storage and a condo I was renting. We used one of those regional truck companies that park a pup trailer in the driveway and contract helpers to load / unload. Biggest mistake of the move. No air ride on the shocks, so lots of bumping and some stuff moved and was damaged. They didn't provide a ramp for the offload. Was a first class cluster. The Penske was for the stuff going to the condo. Filthy on pickup and was the only available. Loaded up and hit the freeway it developed a nasty but manageable wobble. Went to the shop on a tow truck. Never again.

    That sounds horrible. My godfathers used 3 Penskes over the last 4 years all on 1800* mile treks. They treated him well.

    I’ve been warned of horror stories from Pods too though. Only things of value Pods will handle is a few TVs so as long as they deliver in a reasonable time frame I won’t have much to complain of.

    Thanks! As much as I love MESO's products, I wanted to avoid taking stuff apart, so I figured I'd give these a shot. For $13.00 is was worth a try. I do like the way they came out though. :cool:

    A couple questions. What size tires? I recently lifted my truck but l like how it drives so much I’m hesitant to go up 285/75R16. What bumper is that? Looks awesome/super functional. Killer truck man

    That's the solution I believe I will be going with. Want some bed protection with access when I have a rack installed. Looking forward to your experience!

    stockish for now
    Been trying to chase down a slight rattle/squeak/noise from the passenger front seat. Had it since day one, you can see the seat shake a little without a passenger on it. It is slightly audible but f’ing annoying at times. It happens with or without a passenger. So I unzipped the back a little and did some zip ties to where some parts were touching.

    I know I’ve seen this here before but trying to track it down for more assistance. I’ll know later on when I drive to work if this fixed it or not.

    Love this compressor. Fills up all four tires from 18ish to 35 psi in less than 30 minutes and fits perfectly behind the driver-side rear seat

    To continue the black-out theme, I added the Steering Wheel emblem overlay- picked up from eBay and took about 3 weeks to arrive.

    Looks like the microphone that comes with the Tundra GBS will work with the Tacoma GBS so I can fit it in a smaller switch. There’s got to be cheaper way to get this microphone, rather than cannibalizing it from another kit, but this will work.

    Keep in mind you’ll need the Tacoma kit too, if you go this route. Interestingly no harness comes with the Tundra GBS, not that it would work on a Tacoma, but that means it’s all built it to the OEM harness in the Tundra.

    Couldn’t pass up the deal on some front bumps. Waiting for some cmc plates and I’ll do them both at the same time.
