    Dumped in about 2 pints of Kreen into both oil and gas this morning. Did my 50 mile trek to work, parked for 9 hours, drove 50 miles home, and put in Penzoil Platinum Ultra. Taco drinks 5.7 quarts for the OCI, I only bought the 5 quart jug from Wallyworld ($27). The 1 quart I had to buy to make up the difference was $9 at AutoZone. Grrr :). Next time I'll buy 2 jugs and have plenty for awhile.

    I always get that warm fuzzy feeling when new fluids are in the truck

    I didn't really have a choice. The end link bolts were seized potatoes and I doubt I'll ever want to put my sway bar back on. I saved the bar just in case but I'd have to get new end links if I ever want it to return

    i dont mind if it gets dirty again, it will be easier to clean next time. the headlights are just wet, no condensation

    thanks

    blinkers are in the corner lights, although they are pretty weak. i need to figure out a better solution.

    the lights behind the grill are just little side marker leds. I made some super simple brackets out of a piece of aluminum flatbar. they mount to i wanna say a few of the bolts that hold the radiator

    Haha, sorry you're having troubles man. I was amazed I didn't snap one of the 4 bolts coming out of the drivers side it was tight as can be the whole way out for some reason

    It's really not that difficult. I figure if I can do it by myself then so can 99% of the population on tacomaworld ha
