In Texas you can carry a concealed weapon into a bank, yes, a bank, if they do not have a 30.06 sign at the door. Or at this point in time, a 30.07 sign for open carry. There is no OOPS! involved in your post. Texas is it's own animal when it comes to carry. When I got my CHL we could only carry concealed, now we can carry open...at the same time our knife laws have opened up greatly! The state of Texas is awesome! when it comes to people protecting themselves. The next time you walk into your bank with a gun on your hip, rest easy, you're good to go.

Something about being in a bank with a bunch of people with guns makes me a bit nervous and I’ve been a gun guy my whole life. Ha! Now I do wish we had the Texas laws for protecting property at night.

After reading some TW posts about the Homelink rear view mirror, I ordered a previously-owned model from Bob’s Automotive Mirrors last week. It arrived today and looks brand-new. The whole installation process-removal of the original mirror, installation of the Homelink mirror, and programming of the 3 door buttons-couldn’t have taken more than 30 minutes. A small, but useful mod!

Is it live all the time or only when the truck is running?

is your drivers side rear tire more forward than the passenger side or is it just the angle of the pics...

After 3 years of looking at the chrome bumper caps on my SR5, decided to get them to black.. added the Ecoological Bumpershellz, and also added matte black vinyl inlays from Rich at TVDvinyl to all of my chrome badging..I've embraced some chrome, just decided I'd match the look of my Fuels with just the edge of chrome/silver.. Pics do not do them justice as they leave a nice 1mm or so edge of chrome around the letters. 1 before pic, two after..

Nice big difference! Bumper looks great!

Thanks. Still kinda iffy on them as far as fitment with 1.25 wheel spacers and 285 tires. Wheels have 0os and no rubbing before, This caused me to rub on my CMC and a little bit of my pinch weld.

Before: I couldn’t really turn much let alone Uturn without rubbing after spacers.
After Half ass pinch weld just so I can drive around town and I’m not rubbing turning anymore. Might be different articulating this setup. Ran out of time to hammer everything
Currently only slightly rubbing my cab mount in reverse. Planning to hammer everything and do a more agressive cmc one of these days.

I have basically the same setup. 285/75-16 on stock OR rims. 2” lift. 1.25 spacer. I had to cut the front inner fender well and some plastic at the rear. Didn’t have to cut cab mount.

Wheel spec makes a huge difference for fitment.... Plus my wheels 16x8 with 0os

i got a little bad weather down time today so I Fab'd and installed a 5/16" steel skid plate for my Toyota tow hitch. I'm not wanting to replace the rear bumper till someone makes a nice high clearance unit with BSM that works. I really like the safety aspect of the BSM and I'm not giving it up.
So I create a skid plate and welded it to my hitch to help slip over obstacles instead of digging in.

Love your license plate cover

Came across this bad boy over the weekend, it was parked in a local mall. Not a big fan of bushwacker flares but they look good on this truck with its current setup.

It does look good but being so nice and clean AND at the mall is just too good!

Not today, but recently installed an Empyre Offroad grille insert

The dome light bulb was a little loose but you can just bend the metal tab spring and adjust it so it holds tight.

The map lights are PCB’s instead of a bulb housing and they slide right in.

The hardest step was removing the oem map lights. I broke the first one and had to fish out the guys with needle nose pliers.

A good way to get those out is to wrap a piece of masking tape around it and just pull it out. Comes out super quick and easy.

I installed my MESO dome light tonight, ended up breaking the dome mount bracket, now it won’t stay in, broke a clip on one corner, that’s what I get for doing it in the dark!

So, in your mind, who are you currently engaged in a firefight with?

There is so much to learn, I'd be perfectly happy conversing about the mechanics of a Tacoma.

Have you ever gone to McDonald's before 11:00am and wanted french fries? That's why.

Took a long time to mod it like that? How long of a weekend project?

Tacos with Weathertech may find this interesting or useful.
Added a fender clip to always keep in place.
A small simple mod, makes a big difference.

Genius. Makes me want to do the same.
