Whitey....was that picture of the Yaris that the idiot decided to replumb? If so, what a 1970's retrovert. lol FI engine with cylinder injection, with a heat tube is odd to start with, considering we want cold air for max power. I know why you were laughing now.

2100...those mirrors make all the difference in the world when I pull my boat. While they may not be everybody's cup of tea on a reg cab, I like them. I like the 2 piece mirrors with power adjust and the convex on the whole bottom and separately adjusted. The signals work and they light up with the park/headlights.

Not a lot of changes, but still I did a number of subtle changes overall to lil Red. I really think he'll look nice in the Kia Titanium color, but that is still up to change. With the 2017 fender and tail gate emblems, that should clean up the front fender overload. I never did understand why everything is condensed in one area on the front fenders. The SD's aren't. Ok, rant over. I'm not sure how the back will look with the new t/gate emblem, but I'll find out in the spring.

I'm sure they help a ton. I would be doing the swap if I was not on the edge about Just how much longer this truck will last me

AK or drillrig, what mirrors do you have? I am tired of not being able to see around my boats when I'm backing them and need something better.

Thank you very much sir. It was a really great day. We put up our first tree in the new house too so that was pretty awesome.

My Thanksgiving wound up with an ER trip. My little girl broke her arm outside playing. Been up all night with her.... she's pretty restless.

Been thinking about going over to the True Value Black Friday, lol.

Any thinkers on here have experience or input on mechanical fuel pumps? Choices are airtex carter spectra or delphi. The airtex or carter would have been on my truck from the factory originally but seems like people either love or hate each one. Delphi and spectra I have not heard much about...Any thoughts?

Edit* I just found Napa sells their own brand (looks like the carter) as well as the delphi
