    I'm impressed. If I did something like that, it'd prob look more like a Connect 4 game board lol.

    Did this require a trip to the dealership? I have a full size spare now with an OEM TPMS installed. Just need the software enabled and I’m hoping there’s a quick/easy way?

    Thanks for the kind words and is what nerve racking but it wasn’t really all that tough, just have to take your time and make sure everything is marked correctly. I put the template on, marked all the holes, removed the template, verified everything looked like, reinstalled the template and verified my markings one more time before starting.

    I didn’t do anything to my 5th gen but I did finally after 202,000 miles flush the brake fluid on my Tacoma while swapping out the winter tires. I don’t see any noticeable difference in braking. o_O

    I was told by 2 different service techs here that this couldn't be done. Showed them the proof and they still said couldn't be done.

    I tested out how strong my tow hitch is (AKA: The Black Dino Dick).

    Turns out; it is very very tough!

    Went in attic looking for Original HD Mufflers, Air Cleaner & Seat. Didn't find seat. But several helmet boxes & A hard set of Samsonite luggage W/Garment bag. Use it to take to Liberty Thrift store. Now a lot of boxes to break down for recycle bin that's all but full from other items that were up there OEM DS Mirror from 2018 TRD OR that I swapped for the RAV 4

    Black overlays. Black tailpipe.
    I have been hearing a lot of creaking in the rear left and right quarters. I sat in the trunk while my wife drove, and it seemed to be coming from all over the back. I believe I narrowed it down to a piece that is connecting the mud flap and rear bumper.
    Has anyone had any experience with a creaking issue and if a dealer is able to help?
    I have a sensitivity to ticking noises, so it drives me crazy.
