    Mike didn't come with bolts... Maybe they decided to start including them recently.

    Yeah maybe! Most of the posts I've seen on here about them said they didn't so that's why I ordered 8 also so I was excited to see they 4 came packaged with each

    [QUOTE
    ="wattmelch, post: 10287935, member: 143492"]Got all this in the mail that now needs to go on the truck. TW.com decal, and upper and lower ball joints and oil filter from Camelback Toyota. FYI my ball joints came with new bolts which I didn't know they would so now I have 8 extra bolts for spares. I'll hopefully be installing it all next weekend after I get inner and outer tie rod ends too.

    [/QUOTE]

    Yikes. Speaking of bolts, my tundra calipers didn't come with any. Does anyone know if the tacoma ones can be used? I'm pretty sure they have to have full length threads.

    :laugh: Good question!

    The story behind the name is the day I bought my Taco I drove off the lot and as I was cruisin down the road I turned on the radio... Immediately i get blasted with the sweet sounds of:

    OOohooOohhh the wheeel in thee skyyy keeps on turninnnnn!!! I don't know whereee I'll beee tomorrrrrrowwowww...

    I'm not even a huge journey fan, but in that moment it totally worked for me. I'd just bought the truck of my dreams after more than a year of working and searching for a sexy Taco and my dream of traveling the country and living out of my truck had finally come true:oldglory:

    Today I Took off my fender flares, scrubbed all the crap that was building up under them, and decided to leave em off. Almost makes my truck look like it gotta tiny little lift ha.
    I also painted one side of my trim as well as my door handle, goin for the full blackout look. Unfortunately it rained half way through my project so it got cut short..

    It's amazing watching your build happen in real time. What I would give to be able to weld and build like you have been.

    Need some help, anybody remember what member recently bled their brakes on here with the last couple of weeks ?! Used some small hose and a bottle... Thinking about doing mine and wanted to try his method so I could see the new fluid going in.
