    Ok, so before I got my tacoma I had an S10, and I hated changing out the spark plugs on it. I was able to get to 4 of them but the last two were a huge PITA! I have only had my truck for a couple days so I havent done anything to it yet but I know the time will come.

    So now I am wondering what is the maintenance or repair that you guys dislike doing the most to your truck??

    Better get used to it, the last two plugs by the firewall are a PITA to get to

    Yeah I was looking for the filter on mine and it looks a little hard to get to. i think the easiest way for me would be through the fender side. Is that where you reach it from?


    Really?? dang, I hope at least its a little easier than my previous truck.

    Idk, on my 07 there's a crap ton of hoses and wires running right over the last two, plus there's not much clearance between the holes and the firewall, haven't changed the plugs yet but will probably do it soon, thing sounds like it needs a tune up

    Polishing my flesh colored Truck Nutz. There really isn't a way to do it without feeling really akward.
