That's Mr Asshole to you
Got the new radio installed in the Tacoma. Was about to start on the speakers but there is a nasty looking storm coming so the 4runners got moved into the garage.
Most all aftermarket stereos reuse the factory brackets on each side of the radio and whoever installed the one that came in the truck didn't use them. They opted to use hot glue and electric tape to hold the radio sort of in place.
Done correctly. Also the factory dash got cut up to be a double din and of course it was not cut enough to go around the radio so had to clean that up. I really could cut more to get the trim piece around the radio on but its fine for now.

Trans mount is in. Looks like it raises the drivetrain about 3/8”. I had to source some longer hardware for the crawler mount and I’ll need to place a sandwich plate or shim with some washers to fill that gap
Also wired up the Edge CTS3 in the Ferd

Not really for my ride in particular but figured it was something I should get after my last one died. Picked up a NOCO Genius 10 charger/maintainer. Figure it will come in handy when I have the aux battery out of the 4Runner to keep it on a maintainer. Will also be nice when we go out of town to put Taylor's car on a maintainer so we don't have to worry about it. Plus my last charger wasn't actually an AGM charger and since all my batteries are about to be AGM I figured I better buy the proper charger. It came with a mounting bracket so I mounted it to the leg of my workbench to keep it out if the way but easily accessible. If I need to move it, I can just undo the velcro strap and it's portable.
Also my rollers for the sound deadening showed up and the sound deadeners get here Sunday so that will be a project for next week. Got enough to do the doors but will probably order more next week and try to knock out the floor boards before Colorado next month.

Going to link the rear axle while you are swapping it all out?

Figured you were going to do something that would compliment your driving style. Something KOH inspired.
Damn that's sexy!

Got a late start today because of the storm this morning. Got the front driver door done though. I'll do the other three doors throughout the week as time permits. So far, the knock test is showing much improvement. One layer of Noico 80mil butyl/aluminum liner and one layer of Noico Red 150mil closed cell polyethylene foam on top. I'd say I got about 95% coverage of the door.

Once again Ford is fucking up the names of new vehicles.
So you sold your 250? I thought about selling mine, but I'll keep it.

Just checked Autotrader.. 2019 250 Platinum with 12k miles going for $82k. Hmm.. maybe I should sell.

Same AWD set up my Explorer has and the same 2.0 eco that was in the mustang. It will do all I need it too. Haul off trash and bring home chicken and pig food and occasional road trips
Yeah I guess naming it after a car makes sense? Should have went with Rancho if anything. Yeah sold it for 42k with 40k on it and it's only a 2017 XL.
Shit, I started thinking about it 5 seconds after ordering a 250 for work. I can use it for heavy hauling and not have to pay that HD note or diesel/Maintenance bill.
Have another vehicle you could drive? Something with great suspension?
