Make it in pieces. Platform locks into the cross-beams, then disassembles. A couple of small slots at the edges makes removal of even a flat wood platform removable.

 

It could have been JUST the coffee.

 

Those are Alrska 100W panels from Amazon.

Today I bought a TRD skid plate and a pair of Cali Raised cat shields. I didn't technically "do" anything yet as my Tacoma comes late this week (hopefully), but I'm going to be busy bolting all this stuff onto her when she does come. All I can do right now is spend money.

 

Polished hard water spots out of windshield and rear passenger window. Just in time for the tropical storm apparently…

 

Been watching that from NOLA. Wife does production scheduling at a local major chemical plant. These storms foul her work up something fierce...

 

We were out in AZ on vacation and came back to Cali a day early. Had to time it too to drive in between the thunderstorm systems.

 

Man-up and put on your "Pink Sunglasses".

 

Just because you have already ordered a garage-full of upgrades for a truck you do not have yet, cost so far is twice the cost of the truck ...

There is something called personal responsibility. <heavy sigh>

 

My TRD Sport 4x4 came with Firestone Destination LE3. Another sport that I test drove had Bridgestone.

 

You’ll continue to spend money…..lots of money, when she does come. Don’t ask how I know

 

At 61k, replaced front and rear diff fluid, tc fluid, automatic filter, gasket, and fluid, engine oil and filter and installed @RCI-Offroad aluminum cat guards.
Mobil1 engine oil and Red Line synthetic fluids used and all that is left is less than 2 quarts of atf of the 3 gallons I got.
OE rear diff oil was clear, front diff oil was black, tc oil was brown, and the atf was dark.
New oem plug washers, torqued all hardware correctly.
Did I measure what I drained out of the transmission and add the same amount back? Nope. Dropped the pan and filter, installed new gasket with filter, added 1/2 gallon. Started up, shifted through the gates until the rpms dropped. Drained pan and repeated until I had 1 gallon left. I did the OBDII #4-#13 jumper twice and let the excess drain which was about 20 seconds before it became a trickle.

 

I really want to adapt this guys drawer system to hold a bed on half of it, he did a top notch job designing and building it.

 

Installed some Baja Design Squads SAE just in time for hurricane season.
Its as if the OEM fogs were never really there;

 

Thanks for the response. I also saw Goodyear's on another new Sport. So sounds like it's going to be a crap shoot as to what I get.

 

Looks great!!
