    Not sure at this point.
    We were paying $65 for trees in the previous years here in CT. This year, I decided to pick up a permit for $10 for 2 trees in Green Mountain NF in Vermont.

    Worth it and worth the trip!

    Initial thoughts are really good, strong magnetic connection. I’ll see over time how I like the charge rate and how well it handles off-road. (although my tundra won’t see a lot of that)

    Took me about a year before all of my features worked with the headlights. They sent me 4 different wire harness' and the last one finally fixed it.

    Haha.......We have not heard from insurance yet regarding the Mitzi. I hope they fix it as that is one tough little car, but if it's gone, I have her thinking about a Tacoma already, especially if she can get a standard model!

    Cheers

    Those are what we are calling two piece. There is the nut and then there is a thin metal cover that is pressed onto the nut that covers the end. Corrosion can happen between this cover and the nut itself. This swells the nut and makes it require a larger socket. This socket does not transfer torque to the nut but rather spins the cover stripping the nut.

    I dunno if you’re up for a challenge but I’m looking for a super basic 3d printed disc that will hold a stock Apple MagSafe charge. I need it about 2 inches thick and I’m mounting it a little below where you see the scosche magnet in this pic. The reason for the depth is so the charger sits a little in front of my screen so the phone will grab the mount and not bump the screen. I’m using this now but I don’t like the hinge and how it’s a 2 pice it’s not solid

    Side note, I have that same head unit. How did you make the background a solid picture like that? Mine cycles through photos I have on my phone.

    With the KENWOOD app you upload one photo for the back ground. Then on the screen that would cycle through different photos you tap on it and it will open up the single photo and make it full screen. When you turn the unit off then back on it goes back to the default screen and you have to tap it to make if full screen everyone you fire it up or change screens which is kinda a bummer but only takes a sec.

    I kind of like that design better than AJT's. How does it size up the OEM FOB?

    Narrower but a bit thicker in the middle (due to the key) and cooler looking. That’s about it. Factory fob doesn’t really have any wasted space so it’s not like this is a huge difference. But for $30, I like it.

    Drove down (Monday) and back (today) from the Quantico area to Chesapeake, VA for a management seminar. Got 17.4MPG down and 17.1MPG on the way back. Amazing as I do mostly suburb driving at 12mpg; I've never had that kind of mileage, must have been downhill both ways. ;) Snapped a picture of the best reading, which was about 30 miles into the return trip.

    Installed a bed step from ebay. Might tweak the bolts and see if I can straighten it out when closed, but overall not too difficult and I'm happy with the results. First time using an angle grinder to trim the stock bumper bracket, after I sufficiently scared myself watching videos on youtube of all the things that can go wrong with them!

    The best I have ever been able to get on my Tundra is 17.1 mpg and that was when I was doing a constant 70 mph. Seems 70 mph is the sweet spot for mileage.

    I test drove three 2021 Tundras (all crew cabs) before buying the TRD Sport. One was a red Off-Road model and the other was a standard voodoo blue. One of the key factors I bought the MGM Sport was it had front and rear sway bars and handled MUCH better than the other 2 Tundras. Have you driven the truck with the new sway bar and noticed a difference?
