they also have rear mount ~ tape. I like using the above though.

edit. I see you got two different sizes. They have flush mounts for both sizes

 

Got me a roof rack

 

Installed Bilstein 6112/5160 with Icon RXT leaf springs over the course of two weekends.

 

Installed a bed extender I picked up off FB Marketplace and changed out my second key for the Meso! Super nice!

 

Knuckles busted, back is sore but I’ve had an erection for much longer than four hours at this point.

funnest, most challenging project I’ve taken on by far.

 

Finally warm enough to install my Christmas present (Bakflip MX4 tonneau cover).

 

I got mine off of Amazon.

Got rid of the KnuKonceptz terminals and installed the SDHQ Battery Terminal Kit like I should've done in the first place. So clean.

 

Installed the rear charging port today. Now the kids won’t fight over who gets to use the charger.

 

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.

 

No with these it floats in the air above it! I’ll try to find testimonials

 

What brand? Where did you get it and how much? I have really been agonizing over adding one. Thanks for your help.

 

Looks like @upTOPoverland Alpha

Changed my oil and filter and transmission drain/fill at 65K. Next weekend is transfer and front/rear differentials.

Used the Motivx Tools kit. Definitely a good experience when it comes to quality and helping keep things clean.

Luckily I ordered extra transmission drain bolts. The 5mm hex overfill drain bolt stripped trying to take it out. Had to use vise grips to get it out. Replaced with a 14mm (i think) drain bolt and washer. Got the idea from a Tacomaholic video. It paid off.

Interested in the Fumoto Valve, so if anyone has some thoughts, please send them.

Well, I installed the dash cam that I should have had yesterday. Really easy. I also added a battery monitor. My battery is getting old, so I figured I'd keep an eye on it until I figure out what I want to do down the road.

 

Had the oil, filter and air filter changed today.

 

By 'who'? Did you double-check their work? Yeah, it's a thing.

 

I had the fumoto drain valve on my previous car, 2015 wrx. Loved it, never had an issue with it

 

Besides the wheels, the other thing I did yesterday was the 8000 km (5000 mile) first service at my dealership. I’m actually just under 7000 km, but the timing was convenient. Had them do an oil and filter change anyway ….somehow waiting until 16,000 km felt wrong…

BTW: as a “reward” for coming to the Toyota dealer for my first service, I got a card that gets me 3 cents a litre off fuel at ESSO/Mobil stations for the next year…not huge $$, but kind of nice.
