    in what application?
    by spanner you're talking about the ones with 2 holes but otherwise smooth head?
    both usually com in those "cheap" security bits sets if ant thing I think Robinson (square) is more secure for the rarity of the bits in sets.
    I think one can get more torque with Torx than spanner
    hope that helps you

    I’m finally replacing the sun visors on my 2008. The passenger side gave up and I went ahead and got the driver side. Took 12 years to go stop working, not bad:muscleflexing:

    All the normal cool stuff!!!
    Here is my 2006 Indigo Ink Taco. Have been fixing up the Yota for my oldest son...Hopefully he will enjoy it as much as I have!

    We spent a few days cleaning and repainting the bumpers, hood, and Roof. Man...the paint was in bad shape from sitting out in the elements.
    Install the 2005 - 2015 TRD Pro Grill and Weather Tech Bug guard. 22" Light bar will be on next.

    What Rick said. Super simple and a game changer. In my case the lightning cable runs to the HU for charging and apple car play. I use a 2 piece arm so that it tucks the phone in such a way there is literally ZERO impact on visibility either on the windshield or the side view.

    Checked the holes in the fender and the flare. Doesn't look like they line up, maybe only a couple.
    I'll check again tomorrow, too hot right now.

    Took it out to Moses lake and beat the piss out of it. She treated me pretty good, figured out my cooling system is a little small for sustained 4K rpm and 90 degree heat.

    I just measured my doors to see how much butyl I'm going to need when I replace the moisture barriers.
    Found out that I only have enough to do one door :(
    Just ordered another roll.

    Installed different screws for the bracket and ground for my inverter.

    Because running a full size spare in the stock location is a little silly with my new (To me) rear HC bumper... And I didn’t want the hassle of always having to open and close swing outs every time I wanted into the back of the truck...

    I followed @EatSleepTacos lead and mounted it on the back wall of the bed.
    However, I wanted a little more bounce protection. So besides the added D-rings in bed rack mounts

    I also added L-track to the floor with rivnuts
    So I can have it wrapped bidirectionally with ratchet straps.

    I actually just modified mine a little today. I used to have Toyota cleats with a normal ratchet strap, and switched to d rings with this HD strap. When I wiggle the tire, the whole back wall wiggles. She ain’t goin nowhere.
