Finished installing the rear leaf packs and raising the truck. Also pressure washed the engine while I was prepping the yards for the hot weather we got coming soon. Time for alignment and cab mount relocation. I'd forgotten how disappointing lift kits can be. You imagine the truck all sky high and then its not. Did the same with an 01' Dodge Ram we had. Put on a 6" Fabtech Kit and the wife was like...meh. So I added another 3" and then she liked it. It was her truck so there was no arguing it being silly. Gotta be prepared for those elementary school parking lots...

 

Installed my Scheel-Mann/Tolerance Stack setup the other day.

 

Looking good! We hope you are loving your Softopper!

 

Added baja designs ditch lights with cali raised bracket and factory style switch. Also Katzkin leather all around.

 

Looks great!

How much clearance do you have with the windshield when you prop the hood?

 

I really do love it so far! The canvas feels very high quality. I am very glad I purchased black, I almost bought Grey. It is very light but feels solid. The install was simple, very good instructions and I like the color coding/stickers with info. But I've had a couple issues. A couple of the snaps on the rail can't be tightened at all, possibly stripped inside, so the snap always seems loose. And a couple of the frame bars were practically oval, I had to tweak them a bit.

I have a beach camping trip planned the next couple weeks and I am very excited!

 

I just installed a MillerCat shield on my Tacoma. I bot it directly through their website which was way cheaper than the Toyota dealership.

All went well until the last step to bolt up the rear shield to the two threaded holes on the passenger side rail. The Shield's pre-drilled holes didn't line up with the two holes on the frame rail, not even close.

I'm just gonna leave it as is because it will just serve as a deterrent to any potential thieves.

Glad my brother helped me out cause it is definitely not a one man job.

 

Took my roof top tent off. Going to take the Yakima bed rack off soon. Getting ready for a new set up.

 

I didn't measure but probably 1/2 inch at least. I have struts on my hood also..

 

actually.. theres two options. magnetic charging and regular. i got regular and just use cable

i installed my LED light bar today

 

I went a size taller, haven't been off the pavement yet and they are super quiet.I didn't change the spare, its never been usedYes a good deal from CT

 

I did a complete 30K Fluid Service on my 2019 TRD Pro.
Engine Oil and Filter
Front and Rear Differentials
Transfer Case
Complete Transmission Fluid and Filter and Gasket Change.

I went to the Stealership to get the Transfer Case Oil. They wanted $181 for a quart. But said that German Made Fluid was on backorder.
I got on Amazon and found it for $91 a quart. Got it the next day. Thank Goodness it only takes 1 quart.

There are some good videos on YouTube regarding Auto Transmission Fluid Filter Change on your Taco. Not difficult but have everything on hand and prepared.

Thats all I got right now. Peace

 

Yeah I think you are right. My aging eyes thought the size in the picture was 255 instead of 265. I’m looking at all tire options. From my current 31.5” to 33”. So many options and pros and cons.

I see CT has those tires in a 32”. 255/75R17 On sale for a tempting price.

They aren’t too common of a size. However I thought 32” skinnies may be a good option for the type of driving I do.

 

That's not a truck! That's a TOY!

A very nice toy too!

 

I would have painted it with zinc rich spray... but the replacement was not likely costly.
Heck, a rattle can of paint is 10 bucks!

 

That's not shrink wrap, that is the inside skin of the rubber boot that insulates the plug lead.

A truly electrifying situation. and I'm sure ozone was evolved!
