    I have original paint still.
    I’m stuck at home, getting a lot of my list of things to do on the Tacoma.
    This last week
    Replaced the rotors
    Replaced the shift boot with a leather one
    Upgraded the projector headlights to a brighter bulb
    Installed a radiator filter.
    Cleaned the truck.
    Changed supercharger oil.

    I hope this virus ends soon because I’m running out of thing to do :)

    Staring at my RTT and wondering if I should store it again.

    20200322_125640.jpg

    Put away my RTT in storage last year waiting for winter to end; SIP went into effect and I thought "I'll go camping!" so I put it on a week ago.

    Nope, BLM just closed a few days ago for the entire state :frusty:

    Might get bored enough on the weekends to finally install my winch and other things I've got laying around.

    that is pretty cool!
    before my trucks next oil change I am going to get the skid plate powdercoated harley black, maybe i consider doing some lettering like you have
    as far as quarantine, it stinks for some reason, i.e., smells real fishy imo
    wash and sanitize your hands and do NOT touch your face, maintain six ft distance and its all you can do!
    i have good reason to think i already caught virus in February, its not too bad what i had
    a few days of aches and crappy feeling followed with a month of coughing, slight breathing difficulties that i never had before, drank plenty of juice and got a good nights rest to sleep it off


    ps, i thought your truck looked familiar! i remember this from last fall

    Absolutely, but I have the v6 in my single cab, it adds 100 plus hp depending on your setup mods, huge difference

    You can still dispersed camp and wheel on BLM land.

    From their website

    "The closure is effective immediately and will remain in effect until such time as conditions allow for safe use of the recreation areas. While developed recreation sites are closed, most dispersed camping and trails remain open and available to the public."

    https://www.blm.gov/site-page/blm-california-covid-19-updates

    They just closed down all the developed campgrounds on BLM land same as they did with national and state parks

    It’s the DIY bumper kit from Coastal Offroad. they have tons of kits, for all different generations- only catch is you have to weld it yourself :| so i learned how to weld hahah
