    Bigfoot, I forget the exact model but it was the new one as if 2 or 3 years ago
    Works great for large surface areas. Would love a mini for headlights and tight spots but $$$

    Buy a second set of anti-rattle springs and put one in each location. How could more anti-rattle be bad?

    If you ever need to scan your truck for DTC's you can always feel free to come by my work and I'll hook it up to my Toyota scanner. I'm sure that you more than likely already have a scanner of some sort, but the offer still stands if you want the OEM scan tool used.

    You may as well get new slide pins with those new anti rattle springs. I got a pack recently that included all that plus 4 small cotter pins for $5 at a local auto parts store. I've decided to start doing this yearly as preventative maintenance as I live in the rust belt.

    Got an alignment after mounting the new ko3s and seen some cool rigs at RPM Garage in Monrovia. Only took a few photos.

    they told me my cam tabs are nonexistent. They were helping me trying to source the parts from total chaos, but they don’t make a kit for our truck.

    TUNDRA MADE IT BACK SAFELY. Can't say the same for the other motorists.......... LOL

    Wife drives fine but I like to pick on her.

    I once saw a bumper sticker that said "WARNING: FEMALE ASIAN DRIVER." :rofl:

    Cam tab is only important on the driver's side cam, where the cam sensor is reading it, no?

    Yep, I use the Novus 3-stage products as well. They did a superb job on a couple of those old Macbooks with the white plastic bodies. However, I ultimately decided to use Plexus as the final coat when using Novus. So, I only keep Novus 2 & 3 in the house.

    They aren’t completely to blame as they just copy the bad habits of others and sometimes take it to a new level.

    I only say they after seeing my teenage neighborhood being taken over by Chinese immigrants who tend to copy the behavior of others they see when they’re unsure what to do. Crossing the street is a good example along with many other things.
