Crossbar Ranch is great. Took my motorcycle out there. World class. I tried those Arbuckle Pies. Unimpressed. They were like a bland hot pocket.

That's... interesting. I guess good to know if I eat a chunk of it or decide to lay on it nude.

Anything brighter than road legal for the fog light drop ins? Looking for off road use.

Was looking at wheels and saw these lugnuts on a wheel website. They look a little different, and there's no specs listed, which gives me some pause. But another possibility: N-L73809N-LBKA6NV - 14X1.50 XL DUPLEX BLACK SPLINE 6 LUG KIT NO VALVE – Nomad Wheels

I love look of the Nomad Convoy Wheels ( Shop Now – Nomad Wheels ). They come in a +25 offset in 17" rims, but it's not clear whether that's going to be sufficient to mount a 255/80R17 on a stock TRD OR without any lift. I suspect it will, given how this works on the stock TRD OR rims. However...

Looks good. Very much appreciate *someone* finally coming out with a 6' bedliner. But it looks slippery as hell, which is the whole point in getting a bed mat. Is it just plastic on top of plastic?

Is there any justification for this from a safety perspective? Like if people are near the truck (as indicated by the door opening), it shuts off automatically to avoid any risk of movement or driving unattended? Can't imagine how, but I suspect there's some reasonable rationale for it.

Have you tried driving around with a gigantic mattress in the back? I heard that works.

This was the most bizarre process. I had very specific and very clear requirements. I tried to be clear in my communication: contact me only if you find a truck that meets this. Either dealers are unable or unwilling to do this, and instead would prefer to waste their time spamming people with...

Looks like the trailhunter skid plate comes in a little cheaper than the TRD one. I know the TH has a steel plate, vs the aluminium on the TRD. The difference in price is relatively minor. Any particular reason you went with the TRD? It does look nicer though.

Has anyone tried the OEM rock rails ( PT738-35244 ) and compared them to the after market ones? Looks like you can get a pair of the OEM rock rails for about $800 shipped, which puts them quite a bit under aftermarket ones, but I'm not seeing anyone who has actually bought and installed them...

That's fantastic. Zero OEM ones to be found for the 6'.

I had one on a Honda like this. Kung Fu Grip tight. First change from the factory. Wrench couldn't grip it. So I wiped the filter body with alcohol or acetone to degrease and clean, wrapped it in a strip of adhesive sand paper around as much of the circumference as I could, then slipped the...

I like how they put a bow on it like you won it, not bought it. Dealerships are funny like that.

It depends on the company. For auto insurance, I had the lowest premiums and the worst service with Progressive. I pay higher premiums now with Country Financial, but we had two collisions in the past decade and they were 10x better. I had Amica in the past and they were also very good. I...

All insurance is a rip off until you use it.

The Toyota OEM oils, while still meeting the same spec, are structured quite a bit differently than any other off the shelf oil. It may be beneficial to use the Toyota stuff for the first 5 to 10,000. Not for the warranty work, but some theoretical longevity benefits because of the additives.

Can you post pics of how it's wired?

I think that's wise. It creates a paper trail of defects. Had you been parking in a greasy parking garage, this could have gone unnoticed until it was too late. While this is minor, the other option is to file a NHTSA complaint since this is a safety concern that would seriously imperil you had...

Thanks for posting that info sheet. The Toyota one. That's really helpful.
