Dustin told me 83 with the FX Pro wheels. My wrench goes from 82-84 so I go 84 Have been doing that for the last 17K miles, 4 sets of tires (I get bored easily) and I've never had any issues.

I trust Dustins judgement ... I'll have to tighten them down more when I get home

You and I are doing more than most people ever do by torqueing them at all lol. Most people just lean into the lug wrench and get them as tight as they can. Personally I torque everything I can get a torque wrench on. Things like top hat bolts where a torque wrench won't fit, I snug good by hand and throw a dab of blue Loctite on. I'll also mark them with a paint pen and check them regularly so I can see if anything has moved.

Thanks! Yes to the wiring kit - I sourced most of the parts from crutchfield - even if you don't buy parts from them, they have great installation guides and wiring diagrams. Some parts of the wiring kit were simply plug and play, but, I still had to wire the speaker wire leads by hand - no real splicing, just crimping. I was able to retain the factory back-up camera, steering wheel controls, gps/shark-fin antenna, USB/AUX port, etc...The tedious part was removing the AC vents and hazard light button and transferring them to the new dash kit; Lots of tiny screws and sketchy plastic tabs. I will never get over the sounds of dash board clips un-clipping...it always sounds terrible. I did pretty good though and did not break a single dash clip. The metra dash kit also needed some cutting and prep work to make everything line up flush.

You go guy, I do use a torque wrench to put them back on. Where the socket gonna go?

New bike day! Drove the 4R to pick it up, need to figure out which hitch rack I want to use.

Well, you certainly don't do things half-assed, do you? Matte black to textured white? Good god, man.

Installed a C4 ladder with matte black powder coated hardware.

C4 Ladder fitment off, gouged out area behind tabs

You'd be surprised lol. When I bought my 2016 Tacoma brand new, the lift went under it a week later, 325 miles on it. Dumbass at the tire shop gouged all 4 wheels through the clear, through the paint, down to the aluminum. How? Who the hell knows. All I know is, the tire shop bought my 4 brand new wheels to replace all 4 that were gouged clearly by a socket getting away from the idiot with the impact gun. TO add insult to injury, he also broke 2 of the 4 TPMS sensors which they also paid for.

And that right there is why we turn wrenches on the weekend.

Take a look at the 1Up rack. You won’t be disappointed.

...Howdy!...

...During the last week, I made a new pal in a coyote-pup....and yesterday hiked on up to Palisades-Falls near Hyalite Lake to do some time-lapses and videos...so here be the pics:


...Pic-1: Palisades-Falls is in a box canyon with really phony looking cliffs, like they were carved out of styrofoam or wet clay..but it is quite tall ( 80-feet ), and impressive!...

...Pic-2: Ya get an idea of scale by lookin at the folks at the bottom...tho they are actually a lot closer than the falls itself!..Easily 100~120 feet closer!

...Pic-3: The views around the falls are spectacular....tho all these loose, very sharp rocks will tear your ankles up if ya don't wear proper hiking shoes or boots...( and yet I still see idiots up here in flip-flops or heels?! )...Go figure!...

...Pic-4: Hyalite-Lake is actually a reservoir, popular for year-round fishing, boating, skiing, etc...and at the lower part of this pic...ya can see it also has a gorgeous location for a campground...from tents to RVs....

...Pic-5: Just for comparison....this is what the falls looked like last Xmas-Day when I hiked up there....a bit quieter...and a LOT less people!...

...Pic-6: This is the coyote-pup I met up with this last week...there is a pair of them, but this was the only one I saw....and it was quite relaxed about me being so close..hardly took any notice of me and my camera...

...Pic-7: The pup even stopped to pose for me to give me it's good side?

...Pic-8: Ready for my closeup!...casual as can be!....

...Well, that's been it for the last week...and I owe All this goodness to my 4Runner, who takes me to these lovely and gorgeous places and lets me meet up with cool critters!.....Cheers!....

The reservoir is the most accessable, but is about a 7 mile hike up and few thousand feet elevation gain from the Hyalite Creek Trail trailhead to Hyalite Lake up near Hyalite Peak. Arch and Champagne falls along the Hyalite Creek Trail is quite amazing if you get the chance to make it up there.

Great shots! I especially like your wildlife pics.

I replaced the the 12v port in the front and one of the other 12v ports in the rear center console with dual usb charging power outlets. They both have built in volt meter. I didn't really need the volt meter for the rear. But got both on sale during prime day and were the same price as ones that did not have the built in volt meter. So I figured why not. I also got my dash came hardwired as well.
