    I have this one and have used it a whole heck of a lot. I pulled like 50 rivet with it just during my bed bob process.

    God I love harbor freight. Some of their tools last forever and I have no problems. Others, well... I’ll pick that one up for sure

    I've got mine on a manual switch right now but have room on my new switch panel. May have to swap this out, cleaner and don't have to open the hood to get the winch powered. Thx.

    Finally got around to restoring my headlights. Not bad for my first time and a cheap off the shelf kit

    Last little mod before I leave for Colorado: finally got around to installing new lifting struts for the cap. Now the rear window actually stays up when opened.

    Time to pack up now...

    Old vs new

    Spent the last hour or so going through my front end suspension trying to track down a popping noise when turning... I thought it was my LCA bolts being loose (which they were)

    BUT as it turns out, the “popping” sound was a tool in Plano case on the roof rolling around. Ha! Regardless, went through my lower end suspension retorquing everything to spec which was good

    So I finally did what I've wanted to do for a while now... added up everything that I've ever bought or spent on this truck besides the initial cost of buying it. Wish I never knew that number. Crazy how much things can add up over the course of 4 years and yet, I still have a lot of stuff planned for the future.

    Yeah, these toys get pricey. All the sudden that turn key built tacoma for sale for $60K that got scoffed at seems like a reasonable deal. :rofl:
