    When I get to my phone, I'll dig them up. I can't believe it didn't occur to me on day one. The pictures are from when I first got my Tacoma almost five years ago.

    Did something similar. The points and per diem were nice, but it got real old after the first year. I was done when they added international travel to my coverage.

    We’re doing testing with integrated safety in Greenville SC, which is actually super nice. I’ve been staying at homewood suites which has been nice as well. Just flew to Boston last week for another robotics company. Spent 10 days last month at home.

    Glad it’s over. My fat ass is too big for small planes used at regional airports lol

    I already think the ride quality is a bit rough and from what I’ve read they put taller springs stock shocks so the rebound is a bit fast.

    I’m thinking these BCs on full soft might be the ticket!

    yup! Debating if I want to wait until after winter or not. I don’t drive much these days and we have a crosstrek and my Tacoma as well…..

    the trick is either doing it in my driveway or using a buddies garage lol

    They're pretty easy either way. Do you have a knuckle spreader thingee?

    Honestly, the hardest part of the whole thing is getting the front struts out of the knuckle. Sometimes putting PB Blaster or something similar around the area where the top of the knuckle sits against the strut body can help.

    I recommend this tool over the ratchet-based versions: https://www.astrotools.com/product/universal-steering-knuckle-spreader-tool/ or the ECS version: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-cta-tools-parts/tool-steering-knuckle-spreader-cta-tools/cta4008~cta/
