I'm a car geek and always looking to fix up my rides but on a budget. I could never find the info I needed so I decided to Blog then later do YouTube videos.
Being a father of 3 I have to be mindful with the toys I want and the toys my kids want.
Join me for information about my stuff and thoughts about making them nicer. I've introduced my kids when I can as my helpers.

I've been asked by subscribers about this kinda swag for some time and I finally have been able to come up with a concept that I love and hope you will too!
Shout out to Kevin aka @shred_n_tread on instagram for the design help!
I wanted to have a checkout website for this but it was getting complicated so I'm using my blog for the time being.
Prices include shipping to US States and other locations that 1 or 2 Forever stamps US Postal mails to. If it's out of the country that requires additional postage please email me first (RDMPros@gmail.com) to confirm total costs....
I picked up a 2015 TRD Pro suspension for a great deal from a Toyota deal. Part # PTR13-35150
I installed this last President's Day weekend. Because of plans with Chinese New Year and needing to have the Taco ready by Monday I had no choice to do most of my work at night. It wasn't as easy but I got it done. The hardest part was the AAL (Add A Leafs). I explained it in my latest youtube video:
The instructions below are for a 2015 Pro but it's exactly the same for the 3rd gen Tacos too however the cam bolts for the 2016+ are 22mm NOT 19mm! And of course works on all 2nd gen Tacos.
You really want a 22mm handy!!!
The ride is a little firmer on the street but soaks up bumps and especially dips VERY well. For spending under $1000 with front shocks + springs , rear reso shocks , AAL and alignment...I'll say it's an awesome deal!!!!
I just received a letter about our previously owned 2016 Acura MDX and possible transmission/engine issues.
You may have seen my video complaining about the issues of the suv slipping out of drive and into neutral. If you haven't here it is:
You can see others had this issue too.
Now there's a chance you may have to get a whole new engine! The Honda motor isn't the issue here guys. It's the ZF9 transmission!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I won't get a new Honda/Acura. I'll stick with Toyota/Lexus from this point forward unless someone wants to donate a NSX. Haha
Last weekend before New Years my wife wanted the family to go to the mountains so the kids can see snow... WELL first of all she told me it was Big Bear so we prepared for colder temps.
Look at how much we packed for a single overnight stay. It took me a while to pack it and get it to fit everything. Having 3 kids and a wife in the Taco is a little tight but fortunately I'm the only tall one for now.
After doing my wonderful pack job. I asked my wife for the Big Bear address...Well it was Lake Arrowhead instead!
Also going up at 9am it was sunny and 70 degrees! 😆
Well I dropped her off and Joanna (the baby) and took my boys to some adventures. It was a little sketchy but for a noob offroader like myself but I handled it.
Check out the wheeling vid and also my vlog about the drone.
I've been trying to get a few videos out before year end.
It's been hectic with the kids and work to get my vids out. Even a 3 minute video takes me a couple hours to edit at a time. I'm trying to get out some quality content when possible.
I've gotten 8 videos out this month and 5 of them have been consecutive. My goal is to get out at least 4 more this month.
I truly appreciate all the positive feedback I've gotten on TacomaWorld, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit and Facebook.
Also I've met some of guys locally and it's been a pleasure.
Please comment on any of my social media on anything in particular you would like me to discuss.
