Wonder what they could be.... Can't wait to open them up.
I hope they're not 18" wheels with a lot of packing peanuts.

It must be a set of these:

Wow! Maybe I should send mine back and get a set of those! Especially if they come in a nice shiny brass.

Chrome was chipping from the bottom of the front grill chrome surround so I thought I'd try some plasti dip for a short term solution... Looks much better but good from far, far from good

My 6 year old son said to me "daddy, why did you buy the new car if you never drive it? It just sits in the garage. You should have kept your old one."

Guess I better drive it soon!

@JDR76 Absolutely love his thought process as there's no ego, no influence, no politics, no pressure, just an innocent kid wondering and questioning and learning! Brilliant

I'm still with you on the trade up for the 2020

Exactly. It was a truly honest question. I have had it for 4 months and it has 300 miles on the ODO. I'll drive it more after the weather gets better. Right now I just drive the Tacoma because I don't keep it in the garage, so it's already out and dirty.

Someone hit my rear driver side door a year ago and left a dent. I finally got it taken out. Paintless dent repair guy did a great job! Cant even tell it was ever there.

Finally had the chance to change out the puddle lights to led...

I gave up twice since I couldn't fit my fingers in there to get to the clips, so I used a mini pick and hook to the outer bottom clip and used a pry took to get some leverage and after 1 clip is off, wedge the pry tool behind the mirror and the motor assembly and twist and the rest just popped out... I think the hardest part is trying to get my mirrors back to where they were before

Why would you want to force more air?

I had a lot of fun with this:


Until a friend's son wanted to do burnouts and put a hole or 2 in the engine block.

So now that I have the car I love the looks of, I need to get as much performance out of it as I can.

Getting as much power out of it helps by forcing air into the intake box. There's more to come....

Installed the borla mufflers. Sound is great. Thanks to Josh at Meraki Autoworks for getting this to me.

Looks great. What diameter Exhaust pipe size is that 2 1/2?
