    Yes, I have a case. It is a pretty simple Spigen case off Amazon. I used to have a really heavy duty case on my Pixel 6 pro but it was obnoxiously large. I doubt that would have fit in the charging tray but it didn't really fit in a front pocket either.

    Yeah I’ll be sure to check it every now and then, part of me wanted to use nylock nuts on the clamps too but for now I’m trusting what it came with..

    It can be used instead of air bags. It helps if you are sagging in the rear. Check out the reviews I love mine!

    Edit: from stock harness had to add 8tf extension to driver side and added 12ft to passenger side. Way more than what I had to do to the Tacoma.

    For wax I used this…

    upload_2023-4-4_20-24-41.png
    (I do not use this every time)


    And followed it up with Duracoat No Rinse waterless car wash.

    IMG_0151.jpg

    I use this stuff often. If the vehicle is clean and gets hit with rain or general commuting grime, this stuff rocks!
    I can bring the truck to a “just washed” look in 15 minutes, including the wheels. Which is great if you are pressed on time on the weekends like most people with children are.

    Here is a photo of the truck “washed” with the no rinse waterless wash.

    Installed mine today. I got the HD kit and used the thin white disk to gage the spring tension. I went for a short drive (unloaded) and noticed a big handling improvement. The truck felt more planted. Also added one inch of lift to the rear.

    "RAS helps with squat, but doesn't stop there. Instead of resisting weight at the frame and having to make readjustments like an air bag helpers, RAS® springs engage with the existing leaf spring in a progressive manner. This tension coil spring provides a perfect blend of load handling, road handling and unloaded ride quality without readjustment or hassle."

    Here's a link to the thread.

    these provide any lift when unloaded? If they give an inch I think I’ll swap out my rear lift for these.

    Yes it will. The springs are adjustable, I raised mine about 1-1/4". One of my favorite mods.

    Hey I like that Cat Security. Are there any holes to drill. I haven't decided which one to go with. I was wanting one that has an access door to check the transmission or transfer case levels without having to remove the whole shield.

    If you want to use the TRD skidplate, I would suggest you go with Talons. I don't dislike my plates from GetCatSecurity but I'd buy Talons now, as they don't require modification to fit the TRD skidplate I added myself later.

    Yes you have to drill out some existing holes in order to fit the rivet nut for the security bolts. It’s a very simple install. Took me about an hour. It would be even easier if you have access to a lift.

    You CAN actually install without the security bolts, it's not a requirement, but it sure as hell does make the removal/installations later easier.

    I installed my @RainMan_PNW modified MagSafe Wireless Schoshe Charger. While I was at it, I taped my Ottocast Wireless Airplay https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Q65SX4..._1_8&amp=&crid=2ZVPW5T39BNJS&sprefix=ottocast to the underside of the console. Everything works perfectly and looks great. Thanks again, Casey!

    Parked into a concrete pole. "It'll buff out".

    Options were:

    1. Drive it as is
    2. Smack it up with a sledge hammer
    3. 2 + buy a new plastic cover (it is cheap! $120)
    4. Buy a new offroad bumper

    Decided to go with 2 for now, but this was like 4th or 5th time I damaged that chrome scoop. Probably need a better bumper.
