This is beautiful. Relays are such a pain in the ass to stash.

 

Mostly P&S Products for wash and exterior cleaning.

$40 Ceramic Tire Dressing Protector, No Tire Shine, No Dirt or Brake Dust Attracting Residue 1 Gallon Satin/Matte Finish Stays Clean Longer Cleans Up Easier Aircraft Grade Better Than Automotive Products

Aero Cosmetics for tires (matte) and 303 for interior cleaning and protection. Microfiber from The Rag Co. Occasionally

$28 Turtle Wax 53737 Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Graphene Paste Wax, Patent-Pending Advanced Paint Protection, Extreme Gloss High Shine Finish, For Cars Trucks and More, 5.5 oz. (Pack of 1)

Turtle Wax 53737 Graphene Paste Wax. Invisible Glass for windows. Solution Finish black trim restorer for those plastic parts that fade over time. Seems to keep all the cars in good shape.

 

Love the setup.
Are you using the stock battery terminals?
Is that mounting tray touching the brake reservoir?

 

Amazon sent me a nicer amp than what I ordered! Spent 3 days installing everything but it sounds amazing. I definitely learned a few things and actually enjoyed it. Provo Beast has a great video on YouTube that I followed. I kept the stock head unit and the amp has signal processing built in, so I didn’t have to buy a separate signal processor. For $800 it sounds amazing.

 

Ill probably upgrade the battery terminals. Ill have to check if it's touching or not, Def didnt notice, thanks for the catch!

 

belmetric for anything metric, unbelievable variety, small quantities, specialized OEM hose clamps, check it out.

 

Had OTT tune installed. Mild/ medium. What a difference.

 

How do you know which tune to pick?

 

Same. Once every couple years I hit them with the power washer spray, seems to clean them up some.

 

This is how I knew. I had to get Spicy on the ECT button, because otherwise I would be in in perpetual FOMO. ymmv.

I use the Spicy when traffic is heavier, and I need to pull out into swifter moving lanes. It feels more responsive, and safer than the usual pedal-lag.

 

At least he took the air-dam off!

 

I've had OTT Tune since 2022.

My Tuner started me out with Mild which was a little too touchy (Throttle) for me...so I went to Light.

It all depends on how you acclimate yourself to the pedal.

I've got Mild Drive/Spicy ECT now and love that I can change it up if I want a touchy throttle!

EDIT: I'm running OEM tires and have TRD Lift.

 

Got my Bedrug installed. I’m mostly happy with how it fits, given the things I had to work around. Ended up taking the top bolts out of my bed stiffeners and sliding the Bedrug underneath. Also cut the back completely off so I can still use the section of L-track. It has some wrinkles towards the middle that annoy me, but they’ll be covered up with gear and a wedge camper soon enough.

 

Keep the spilled paint off of that beautiful bedrug.

 

Paid it off!

 

Alignment done, just need to pick up my tires and have them installed on my wheels.

 

After reading almost every post in this long thread since the very beginning this may be my last post here since I just bought a 2025 Tacoma Sport Hybrid. Since I started shopping for a new truck 7 months ago I have already started to watch several threads in the 4th gen section. I have almost 10 mods planned but that is far less than the 33 mods I did on my 3rd gen truck. To be fair, I did have some duplicate mods such as 4 sets of wheels and 4 different y-pipes. I bought the new truck out of town and when I parked it at the hotel my daughter parked her car right next to my truck. When she opened her door it happened to hit my new truck leaving a small dent and scratch. When she realized what she did she came to me sobbing and apologizing over and over. I told her that she was more important and valuable to me than a million new trucks. I would never let my relationship with her suffer because of a minor accident. I did walk away with a silent sigh in my heart. I already put my old truck in the for sale thread. The following is a link.

Things are for people, that’s what my sister told me when I crashed her car back in highschool.

 

Looks good. What size ?

 

Meguiars all day long. There is a thread on here by a professional detailer who goes through all the best products. It was awesome. Meguiars gold wash and ceramic quick wax are absolutely incredible products, once you do the original quote of the ceramic quick wax, you can quick wash it and then dry it and the wax left on the truck repolishes. Can’t say enough good things about their products. The meguiars rim cleaner and tire shine are the easiest/best performing products I’ve come across for wheels.
