    Do infinity seats fit in the taco? Or did you custom order the seats with infinity logos? I'm so confused.

    Haha my coworker said the same thing one day. It’s actually a security lug nut. Thanks for looking out though!

    How much all in was this upgrade? I am dreading the maintenance on the drums and I think I'd rather just swap em out to disks also. Is there a good how to write up or youtube video on this?

    i had a local shop do mine but it comes with full instructions. fronts are very straight forward but the rears + parking brake looked like a nightmare, i didn't trust myself to do the rears. i think it was quoted at around 10 hours of labor including new fluids, full flush, break-in, ss lines... etc... it's replacing 3 totally different brake systems...

    you'll also need to upgrade the booster on older 2nd gens.

    Bought the BirdDawg Industries mirror riser. Never needed it until I put in the seat jackers. Hopefully it works!

    Took advantage of the weather. 1st full wash since September 2021 (that's only around 2500 miles of driving).

    Cleaned up the interior the next day. Not too shabby for 15 years old with 86k miles.

    A little late to the party, but did the following in the last 2 weeks:

    - Oil/filter change
    - Rear differential fluid change
    - Platform bed build (will post some photos of the process!)

    Installed a set of Diode dynamics fogs, with a Paranoid fab installation kit in that ARB bumper. Look super good and that flattest line I've ever set at install, we will have to see how they look before any final alignment of those fogs

    Also disregard my super messy shop. It needs a cleaning and a complete rearrangement to get some stuff put away

    This has been on the slow burner for a while, but I finally got this somewhat modified Sherpa rack and water tüb on the truck! Full details here.
