escape the ordinary
TL;DR - I had my first oil analysis done, and with 235K miles on the Tacoma, it came back great.
TL;DR - The new scheel-mann seats are doing fine. The jury is still out on whether they are worth it (and will be for several years, I think.
TL;DR - the new scheel-mann Vario R seats are good, but they aren't for everyone due to cost.
TL;DR - The battery tie down that bolts to the core support has cracked core support as a result of all the rattling around. I've reinforced it, and will monitor it going forward.
TL;DR - the alternator failed as I was about 90 minutes from home, and it was because the brushes had worn out. Luckily, I was carrying a spare set and swapped them in about an hour, completely fixing the issue.
TL;DR - I've replaced my Bussmann fuse/relay box because the old one melted around some of the connectors.
TL;DR - I replaced the only metal component in the cabinet with wood, and the rattling is gone!
TL;DR - the new transfer case seems to be working great so far.
TL;DR - I've raised the height of the center console by 1½ inches, and it's much more comfortable to lean on now, since it's the same height as the arm rest on the door.
