The replacement bolt and spring clip came in today from RCI for the one I broke. I offered to pay for my mess up but they sent them for free. Therefore, I decided to give them some more business for their great customer service and ordered some LCA skids. They also came in and I was able to reinstall the transmission skid plate and the LCA skids. My Dynamat sound deadening material also came in but after spending over 2 hours on my old back on the hard concrete driveway I decided to put that off for a few days. My back and tail bone need to recuperate. I will likely start with my headliner first and do the roof which has zero insulation from the factory.

KO3s installed a few days ago.

My truck is happy, my wallet still won't talk to me, I'm expecting divorce.

Had Duratracs (fairly worn 1-2 seasons left) before this and I'm not sure if it was a just improperly balanced or what but man what a difference.

ZERO shake until you reach 130kph and the shake is still minimal, like I'm driving on air; absolutely no noise either. My Duratracs were stupid noisey and the vibration shake was embarrassing. I could watch my ditch lights shake viciously and hook scoop bounce up and down.

I just hope they perform just as good in deep snow tracking (or hopefully better)

Sidenote, first alignment check at 55,000kms, everything wasn't bad at all, but my cross camber was bad at 1.1⁰ After all the potholes I smoked and rough side by side trails I've been down, I expected worse.

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

Today I had a chance to begin my sound deadening project and started with the roof because it is the most challenging part. The factory puts zero sound deadening in the roof because it will not reduce the wind noise unless you have a roof rack or lightbar up there. I have neither so you may ask why did I do this. Good question and there are 2 reasons. First, I live in Florida and we have a lot of heavy thunderstorms which makes it sound like a loud echo chamber. This is both annoying and distracting and may be a safety factor. Second, I also put a closed cell foam layer which is a thermal barrier. This is like adding insulation to your attic. It will make it cool down faster in the summer and warm up faster in the winter. The last picture shows the 2 clothes hangers in the rear. One has the cover already installed and the other does not. If you install the hanger into the roof and then try to install the cover you will likely pop the spring clip into the headliner. You will then need to undo the work you have already done to remove the headliner again and retrieve the spring clip. Ask me how I know. Never mind..... just a rhetorical question.

May take on this project as well. I’ve got a roof rack. It’s not unbearable but quieter would be better. Think it’ll help?

Never remember to post here, just browse, but this is what I've done recently. Installed my Xtrusion Overland 8" bed bars as well as my iKamper mini 2.0 I got for a steal on marketplace. Then installed the Wolfbox G900 pro rearview mirror/dash cam since unfortunately the iKamper blocks the OEM mirror. Took it up in northern MN for a fun weekend with friends!

Upgraded my Sport bumper to the ARB.

Installed some Crux tint on the sides of my headlights, reverse lens, and 3rd brake light, not the happiest with my install, I should have done a wet install but I wanted them on now, maybe I’ll order them again next summer and do it again

Now you need the rigid lights for it

Today I had the opportunity to continue my sound deadening project. The factory does not include any sound deadening that even my 3rd gen truck had at least one strip in each door. I only had time to finish the front 2 doors with a layer of Dynamat and Dynaliner on the outer skins of each door. The last 2 pictures show the front and back of the door handles and locking mechanisms. I have done 5 of my own cars and trucks over the years and 2 friends vehicles but have never had such a hard time popping out the trim piece under the door handle. I wedged the trim tool over the lock and under the trim piece and had to use so much force that it knocked the locking button off the track. It was a challenge putting it back together. Using a hook tool works much better.
