    If you leave your truck out at night spot weld the nuts on mounting bolts. I had one disappear...
    I was planning on rounding the bolts off with my grinder just for that reason. May try to lock the free spool handle too somehow.

    Welded on a newer truck years ago. Disconnected both batteries but lost the alternator shortly after. Maybe, maybe not related but try to avoid it if possible.

    although I am looking at a Ford Expedition 1 owner with 71k
    Bought an ‘08 last year with 49k miles on it. Drives like a dream. Even has room for all the kids and I don’t have to drive the wife’s minivan to haul the whole clan. Still have my Wranglers when I want something fun to drive.

    If you are going to buy a Tacoma I suggest getting a new one. The used ones even with 100k miles still sell for a lot.

    I have a 2015 4x4 that I bought new and it has been a tank. 6 speed manual transmission to add a little more gun to it.

    Helotes!
    Put Rancho RS5000X shocks on the Jeep, replaced the bushings on the seat rollers (they were so far gone I almost had "rocking chairs"), and added some foot pegs for when I go doorless (most of the time).

    Considering a 2.5-3" spring replacement for the 2.25" BB I currently have installed. I don't want to go any taller than that but I believe it will smooth out the ride even more if I get the right coils. Looking at options, right now either OME, RE, JKS, Metalcloak, Rusty's, Zone, Savvy or BDS are considerations. Price will be a big determining factor...

    Well that's done.

    I need to pull the cable and respool it but that can wait.

    Need to pick up a snatch block and maybe a receiver shackle too.

    Will get a piece of chain to lock it also but someone would have to be very dedicated and prepared to get it out of there.
