Any problem with your exhaust hitting your cargo on the hitch basket?

Drove it until the CEL went away. Days 1-2 of road trip fun and eventful, but four gallons past the first click may have set off the CEL. Call it range anxiety... Many stops, pictures and about 200 miles of driving made it go away. 5 kids and wife, tons of stuff for 5 weeks, 100lbs on the roof and 300+ on the hitch. Got to Sedona still averaging 15.1 mpg.

Today, I am finishing up a 2 step paint correction and an OEM roof rack delete. Once it is all said and done, I will apply two coats of ceramic coating and call it a day.

Post photos once done pls!

I will do mine next weekend as soon as I buff off and flatten out the orange peel on mine.
 
Went to Carrizo Plain to follow detailed guide to the San Andreas Fault (The Field Guide to the San Andreas Fault
David K. Lynch). Bounced around the valleys and hills, the LC just motors through. Ended up with super sticky mud from a recent rain).

Spent the first night sleeping as exactly on the fault as we could - tempting the gods - but nothing dramatic happened. Second night at Selby campground - see picture. Used "Stuby" my home made 6" f5 refractor and the new alt-az mount I made this year. Sky at Selby was noticably darker - being farther away from Bakersfield. (Folks going to super dark skies like Moab / Big Bend should think about bringing a small telescope to take advantage of their prestine skies!)

New OEM pads and DBA rotors in preparation for a summer trip. Both rear guide pin bolts were bone dry... Guess when I had the dealer do it they didn't grease them... Might have caused the sticky caliper that ate up one of my rotors.

Continuing baselining her: timing belt, water pump, tensioners, hoses, Toyota coolant, thermostat.... a/c compressor, evaporator, condenser,.... fan clutch... finally got her back on the road.
 
I really like the look of this but it truly puts into perspective how much people on this forum love their truck more than I do. To me The thought of going 1600$ in the hole even before you buy a new in dash unit to fill the space is something else. Aesthetics aside, you can do super high end audio overhaul for less than that $1600. Awesome work though.
 
100 did another river shuttle. Might be the last one on the Upper Delaware this summer unless we get a ton of rain.

Epic dude, what speakers and amps you using

As of right now leaning Morel Virtus 602 for front doors and either deleting or going with a cheaper coax for rear doors. Also likely leaning 8” Focal to replace 6” factory sub, but this would mean removing my full Trekboxx system in order to get at it. I have an older Phoenix Gold 471ti for the door speakers and a mono Audiocontrol for the sub. Head unit will be Kenwood DNX995S.
