    Finally picked up my own Daytona jack instead of having to go down to me bro’s house:anonymous: The great pride in working on my Taco is taking over.

    The OEM links were super loose. The AM links appear well made, from Suspension Dudes.

    Looks good. I went with the RCI sliders which stick out a bit further. I like how the CR are in closer to the body. Still completely happy with the RCI’s, except when they are muddy…..hard to avoid mud on your pant leg or calves when wearing shorts.

    Is that an anti-thieft device?

    Not so much "to" my 3rd Gen, but rather "with." Took my better half to the big box store and loaded up the bed with bags of topsoil, grass seed and more freaking flats of plants than I thought it would hold (it did, btw, hold them all). Of course, I assiduously and repeatedly proclaim to all and sundry, "the truck is not for hauling stuff!" but that always falls on deaf ears. In other news, we drove around with the windows slightly down, sunroof up, back window open, enjoying the mild spring weather (for now...it's Michigan, just wait five minutes...)

    A portaband saw makes quick and quiet work of cutting metal. One of my favorite tools, I've cut so many bolts with it.

    Oil change day which has also turned into.. clean up all the oil that splashed out of my cheap old drain pan.

    Guess I'll prepare for that better next time.

    Fumoto valve that controls how quickly the oil exits. Can also purchase a tube to redirect the oil. I purchased 133s.

    Yeah totally. It's really a trade off somewhere. My front door is not protected against door dings and even with the kickout, it can't be used as a step (a big reason I don't think fill plates are a good idea).

    Put together this load bar setup on my Alu-Cab with some off the shelf 1x2" extruded aluminum t slot and some brackets. Not bad, but will probably get some brackets cut and bent up to better match the prinsu. This thing is a ton of hardware right now, would like to stream line that while still utilizing the bars.

    Noted for future headaches. All I had was a well-worn diablo cutting wheel and now I'm basking in man glitter.

    Agreed. Even with the RCI’s I didn’t want the 0° with the fill plates. It would just make entering/exiting the vehicle more challenging.

    RCI sliders & engine skid, BAKFlip MX4, PPF, and many other smaller things
    The sliders hold onto a lot of snow and ice by themselves; with the fill plates they would carry even more like running boards do. The road gunk on your calves is real but I've learned how to stretch my legs out further to the ground on a winter day. Not really relevant, but I have the RCI 0° w/out fill plates.

    20° but sucks when they’re muddy.
