Hi! New to the forum and relatively new owner of a 2003 Tacoma 2.4l. Been tinkering on it here and there and been on here a lot for insight.

I am planning on going on a camping trip in a couple weeks. Drilled a hole in my Jeraco high rise cap’s locking rod and made a pin clip to be able to lock myself from the inside. Works like a charm. Thought I’d share if someone also thought about doing something like this. If anyone else has some other neat camper ideas let me know!
