    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I saw it a lot on the highway around here and it stuck with me so I figure that's enough proof that it works. Looks like it's standard on Ford's now.

    I must be too lazy or too busy, I'm not sure which. I feel like I struggle to keep up with the Tacoma, the car, and the motorcycle enough as it is!

    What are you thinking for tires? Another set of KO2's? I'm amazed my factory tires have made it through everything I've done. A lot of people seem to have terrible luck with them from what I read.

    Having a second set of hands that lives in your house and is willing to help is always nice :thumbsup:

    Ah, makes sense. I’ve been considering sticking to A/T’s when it’s time for tires. I loved my KM2’s but I’m not sure that MT’s are worth the extra road noise and less mileage.

    I am terrible about asking for help. I’d almost break my back trying to get something done before giving up and asking for help :anonymous:

    I’m the same way, quick to lend a hand to others, but terrible when it comes to letting someone help me. Something I need to work on.

    Exactly. I think that for some reason I'll burden somebody if I ask haha
    I will say that the looks of the tires have played a factor in my choices in the past....

    I think that also has more to do with the relationship you have with others too. Might not ask any ole friend for help but your closet one or two.

    Sounds nice to me in some ways haha

    I have money. But not enough time and no space. Have a ton of parts just sitting around and even more ideas and things to do.

    Maybe being salary will help...not likely though

    Yeah im not sure what all factors in, maybe sometimes pride. I feel more like pcbuilder in not wanting to burden others though usually. Don’t know why I see it that way when I get enjoyment out of helping others accomplish something they want.

    If you're ever contemplating refinishing hardwood floors, don't. I mean do, if you like a good torture. One room is easy. But 3 rooms and a living area is too many to do by yourself. Shits turning out tho. :cool:
    So glad the awful deep Amber pet piss is gone!

    Nice. That is where my dad got all his white oak.

    Yeah that's why they didn't want a dog in the house. Kind of a lost cause for them but we out some rigs down

    A little worse for wear, but glad it's still there. I need to get back up there, fix the backrest, and reattach the armrest. Awesome that you found it!

    If you don't mind, could add a little padding too? Kinda harsh on these old bones as it sits right now.

    I've never been much of a scotch guy. It is a bit of an acquired taste I know. Just never acquired it.
