    I'm about 5 years from that on my new/used Tundra. But I know the feeling when I paid off my '02 Tacoma off a looong time ago

    Hahaha same here! It definitely would have been much easier to do it with more lighting and on a horizontal surface.
    Don't forget the call button :rofl:

    Vacuumed the mats and carpet, cleaned the inside glass, wiped down the dash, leather conditioner on the seats, and replaced the little tree with a new fresh shave scent. Renewed my registration and got a new tag this year. This month makes 2 years of ownership.

    I almost went for that skid plate on eBay as well. How do you like the quality and fit (assuming it is installed already)

    Quality seems really good! Honestly I don't think I would be able to tell a different between this and the TRD one although I've never had or seen the TRD skid in person but I can't imagine the material being all that different. As far as fit, I actually have not installed it yet. I just received it last week and haven't had a chance to get it on there. This weekend for sure though it's going on. Just bought some rhino ramps today so should be a breeze with having installed all of the hardware already.

    Well, today I learned that my doors freeze shut when it gets cold & windy out … does that count? :confused: (First winter with the truck) Off to try to find something to keep that from happening again.

    Looks good. I got the one's for my tailgate and doors too. The one's on the radio were the most difficult for me too.

    After my last truck, where I fubar'd a rim after 2 weeks of getting a set of 4, I told myself I'd never order tires/wheels without getting 5 ever again. Now it's easy, cause I rotate in the spare during oil changes/tire rotation. win:win

    Bought the five 37s in April then bought the 6th wheel and tire, last week did a rotation. The existing almost new spare and the new tire went to the rear, Rears to the front and fronts are now the spares.
