I haven't updated in a while, so here's a pictures blast!

I installed a 3rd brake light relocation kit, found here:

While I was back there I also installed some sound dampening and silicon spray to get rid of the rear deck popping noises.

Built an amp bracket that bolts to the underside of the rear deck. 14GA 304SS, so it's pretty steady.

I finally got my Tacoma rear-view mirror re-wired and it works amazingly. I think the BlackVue camera mounted right in front of it sometimes messes with the compass. It seems to only happen for the first couple of miles each day, then it's pretty accurate. Sorry, I don't have a shot of the backup camera but it works really well. It and the compass share the LCD screen in the top left. You can also see the UFO brake light deleted from the rear dash.

I removed my rear emblem and tried to paint the others with DupliColor Shadow Chrome kit, made for wheels. It did not turn out well at all. I'm now going to have to remove them and paint them more professionally. I can't really find anyone who has done this by removing them completely, which is what I want to do next time. Masking them off was a huge pain.

Here is the best one. Still meh.

I installed the Mishimoto catch can. I forget that there is very little R&D done on automatics.

Lastly, I got started on my hydraulic lift setup for the suspension. I made a bracket for mounting the pump and the reservoir with the battery tray. I added a silicon mat to eliminate slipping and it fits perfectly.

Even with all the automatic's junk in the way!

The hydraulic cylinders are going to mount on these Ground Control coil-overs. I ordered them with custom springs to accommodate the stroke.

I also have a fire extinguisher that I want to mount to the cup holder area, and four ride height sensors that I have no idea where to mount. Has anyone installed airbags with ride height sensors for our cars? I will try and use the factory locations, but front mounts still elude me.
