This weekends waste of time that took over 2 months to find out, had these pieces printed at a local university to help the bed top gap for the oem tonneau, they don’t help at all, there’s not much I could be missing besides it just doesn’t do what it’s meant to, bonus picture of being Tacoma’d at Lee Valley

Yesterday Yotamafia installed Cali Raised fuel tank skid plate (I needed it-gouged the OEM plastic one), installed rear shock skid plates, and trailing arm skid plates. I installed ICS FAB Tacoma dash mount with BulletPoint mounting solutions camera adapter with mounting arms and 20mm ball mounts

Swapped from the SR5 grill to the TRD Offroad Grill. Install kinda sucks but not horribly bad.

Installed my new HK6 hardwire harness for my VIOFO A329S dash cam

Scrubbed my windshield wipers down with wd40, scrubbed my windows down inside and out with dawn dish soap and 70% isopropyl alcohol, I might detail a little more of the interior over my Christmas break but we’ll see if it warms up some

I also adjusted my tonneau cover closer to the cab because we had really high winds the other night (119km/h) and it popped open on its own, so it might not have been locking as good as it should be

Fresh set of Tacoma letters are on the tailgate. Headlights and taillights have light smoke PPF. Just waiting for the edges to dry enough for me to drive her.

Today I installed a set of hood struts. It took less than 25 minutes. Video of the hood opening after struts installed is below.

Picked up two outboards from a government auction to fix/flip

I’ve been kicking it in the desert, nobody home, mild winter out west, when in doubt drive to the middle of nowhere, preferably with a dog or two

NYE snow run into the mtns

Installed a new Rago Fabrication Roof Rack with a Diode Dynamics 7-pod SS5 Sport Crosslink light kit (4 combo lenses, center 3 are spot lenses). Lights are wired (not shown in this photo) to factory Auxiliary-HI harness that comes with the 2025 hybrids, though I'll probably get a D-Switch or similar at some point.

Next on the list are frame-mounted rock sliders (Haven't decided on which one I want yet) and a power relocation kit to provide battery-connected and fused positive and ground terminals under the hood for future upgrades like a D-Switch, winch, etc.

Post what you've done with your Tacoma today/recently ??‍

Tightened the N-Fab rear door steps (they are a pretty new install) as is recommended by a local shop while we were chatting. Retightened the older front set.
It was a lot easier given new set of wrenches fixed on one end, ratchet on the other end. I used that on the nut and a 3/8 on the welded bolt/nut/washer side.
I’ll check again in a few months and add blue Threadlocker if I can ever remember to buy it or locate my lost tube.

Finally had a chance to finish my sound deadening project. Today I installed mass loaded vinyl (MLV) on the floor. Toyota did not put 1 inch of any sound deadening on the roof, doors, rear wall, or hood. I installed sound deadening in those areas and had already posted pictures on this thread. Toyota did put a small amount on the floor but it was not nearly enough. After removing the front and rear seats along with the center console I was ready to tackle the hard work. The first picture shows the carpet removed with just the carpet pad on the floor which will decouple the MLV making it more effective. The second picture shows the layer of MLV which goes between the carpet pad and carpet. I still had to cut holes for the bolt holes, wiring harness, and floor duct and then put everything back together. I did a quick test drive and it did make a difference.

Congrats! Patience of a saint to have tackled that huge chore.
