    My Taco got some fun stuff. CB radio and accessories, "TRD" branded antenna (probably terrible, but I never listen to the radio), camping equipment, med kit (because the fam knows I'm clumsy AF), Trasharoo, stove and Rtic cooler. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Time for a nap; Too much queso as well.

    I love my RTIC cooler. I will probably by another one soon. I also love the RTIC tumblers. The wife and I have about 6 of them.

    My dad has three of their coolers; one that fits in his Audi/Vette, one for beer, and one for deer... LOL.
    They make some quality products, and I love their 1/2 price of Yeti comparison.

    Some things never change...




    ...Like 30 Foot Fall playing at Fitz every Christmas.

    What was off?

    The main thing I've had to do is to is them how to set "zero" for the UCAs, basically using notes from this thread:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...driving-report-with-light-racing-ucas.158795/

    Once they figured it out, I haven't had an issue with them.

    Alignment kept coming out of spec. Found out that they didn't torque the lca cam bolts, like at all. One of them was loose and came off by hand.

    Holy crap. Mine were loose once, but not by hand. I just tightened them to spec, but if I had found one loose enough to undo it by hand, I would be visibly angry.

    Nice! I ended up getting the skids and suspension I wanted as well as my CB mount. So add that to the sliders in the garage, the rest of the CB stuff I already had and the tires I was planning on ordering and I'm going to be busy next weekend probably trying to get it all installed. We were thinking of doing a trip to hidden falls in a few weeks so it would be nice to get it all on and test it out before then. Either way I'm pretty happy for the Runner. I need a med kit and some recovery equipment and I'll be set until I order front/rear bumper replacements.
