    Just did my second oil change 7.9 qts of Mobile 1 0W-20. Mileage is at 31,120.
    The oil drain valve that I put on last time with the addition of a hose was perfect. Made the oil change easy. The oil filter was still very messy though.

    Also cleaned the battery terminals with a mix of water and baking soda. Neutralizes the acid, bubbles and turns green. d2fbd97ccea30ad399f2a74cae05ebd3_c873f9688d3c13639e09c5a0713827aac4dc1890.jpg

    Added four additional Bed Tie-Down Rings today. Took a little work to open up the holes and trim the washer. Look for a DIY soon.

    Awesome idea, i was thinking about a swing case for the back but did not want to lose the cargo hook. Where did you find the d rings?

    Brian, are you still happy with the wheel spacers? Nothing coming loose or anything? I am thinking I'm just going to be happy with the wheels I have but I've been looking at 1.25 spacers. Where did you get yours and how much?

    I am still happy with the wheel spacers. Have had 0 problems with them. They did add alot with the look of the truck. I got mine at Toytec. They are Spidertrax brand. You can just get them direct from Spidertrax for $129 per pair. I think i paid the same at Toytec.
    http://www.spidertrax.com/2007-Up-Toyota-Tundra-Wheel-Spacers?sc=2&category=16190

    I wouldn't go used unless they are a top brand and in perfect condition. Really you shouldn't steer away from the top brands anyway. Not worth saving $50 at a risk of hundreds - thousands if something goes wrong.

    1.5" spacers are only $89 per pair at all-pro. Not sure if they make them there or if they are purchased from somewhere else.
    Bora is another brand that i have seen alot of talk about them being good. $110 per pair. https://www.motorsport-tech.com/4DCGI/switchtruckmodel

    Great! Well you and another guy I trust from TT have high opinion of this brand. I was looking at solid steel ones from wheeladapters.com, but a set of those are 400 dollars! Kind of hard to accept a price like that when its halfway to the price of a set of new rims. I almost had myself convinced I wanted some rock warrior rims after seeing yours with the spacers. But I have decided that I'd like to keep the stock parts. I think with the 1.25s, these wheels and new tires with a lift will look nice. Thanks!

    I can't imagine that the ecu won't adjust and override any effect from the air box mod... But I'd love to here what you think after you put it on and again in another 1k miles. I know that sounds negative, but the damn computer on these trucks won't let you get away with squat!!! :smash:

    Yea I was thinking the same thing. That's why I'm going to do it budget and spend ~$15 instead of $80.

    I did the same thing to my tacoma TRD CAI box to attach a volant ram air hood. Similar to this

    Yeah that's a nice looking Tacoma.... Looking at those photos, does it make you want to lift the tundra just a couple mor inches? It's sick how awesome these trucks look with a 5-7 inch lift. But it also actually makes me sick thinking about hacking the frame up...

    So you will just do another hole in the engine compartment wall, or a ram air setup like your taco?
