    Started messing around with a cd slot mount for my tablet for when I wanna watch a movie in the truck. It's a little ugly right now but it's just something I threw together. Gonna probably swap the velcro for magnets at some point. But its holding. Also ripped apart a febreeze vent air freshener to use the clip. I wanted a mount for my work radio hand held

    Jumped on the bandwagon for a little bit. Figured I'd see if this worked better than my quickfists - but kept them as a backup for things like my AK or other rifles. Some kydex, nutserts and some M4 socket heads. The model is my recently built 350 Legend SBR (Omega 36m suppressor has been in jail since I bought it in May, sigh) - anyway, let's see how the deer like it this year.

    yeh, purchased fox 2.5 elites a month and half ago from Accutune and while the first email said sorry these aren’t I stock (despite the website showing them in stock) to now we don’t know when to expect them. Same story with my Deavers. Took over a month to get the Deavers despite me calling Deaver the 2-3 days after purchase to confirm they were in stock.

I had black reflective TRD Sport With America flag but now I'm thinking I gotta find someone who can make a III%'r Edition in black Reflective. Also gotta Decide which Emblem combo looks best (I'm thinking the TX with American flag overlay)IMG_0100.jpg

    Good for you for being a good kid. Lol

    I am so inpatient. Once I get the parts, they are installed within 24 hours. Lol. I don’t care if I have to stay up late.
    Btw, post how you like the difference between the set ups. I have billy 6112/5160 and wanting to replace them with fox 2.5 as well.

    Broke into a Tacoma today for the first time! It was a little harder than I thought it would be but I have some tips for y’all if you ever decide you wanna break into one!

    Oh… Unrelated but I also locked my keys in my Tacoma today as well….

    Anyone know of an overhead molle panel for 2nd Gen Access Cabs? All I ever find is for 3rd gen. Don’t really want to do the full rear seat delete or cover my rear window with panels, which look like the only options I can find.

    The rifle on the mount? It uses the mag release to keep it from sliding off

    Dang when did you order the Devers? I ordered mine from Accutune and they shipped within a couple days. That was mid November. I picked up the shocks used so I didn't have to wait for them.

    As long as you're happy with it. It shouldn't matter. At the end of the day it's your truck and your money. Truck looks great! What wheels are those?

    Just ordered the passenger side heated spottermirror to complete that mod. I really like the function on the drivers side but with a shell I need it even more on the passenger side.

    Been a while since posting, but I've finally gotten around to a few items that were really plaguing the truck:
    • Roof had major rust issues developing. I was in line to drop off the truck at the body shop and kept experiencing delays. Finally, I just went and got the materials and the color-match rattle cans and did it myself. It's just the top of the truck and no one will ever really see much of it. I had painted my rear bumper before so felt confident enough to tackle it.
    • Added the Sherpa Animas rack I'd been waiting to install after I corrected the roof issue.
    • Installed some much need axle shims from Tom Woods for the vibration I was getting around 10-15 mph accelerating. I did all the measurements with the GFC on the truck, then installed the shims as I was painting the roof. Since I didn't have the GFC on the truck after install and test drove I still had a slight vibration at around 5 mph. Once, I set the tent back on the vibration seems to be gone. Any slight vibration I feel now could be gone after I replace carrier and u-joints.
    Feels like an enormous monkey off my back getting the paint and vibration issue addressed.

    I've since picked up a 3rd gen 4Runner that I'm building out!
