    Do you plan on wheeling it? If so I would stay away from a large wheel like that.

    what suspension did you use and what tires do you have on it now, and yes i would honestly stay with a 16" or 17" at the largest if you plan on wheeling at all.. i dislike the 17"s that i got,(old school boy like alot of sidewall to air down) wish i could have gotten away with my 15"s to do tundra brake upgrade but got a heck of a deal on the rims so i went with them instead of 16's..

    My fuel gauge had been acting up, its been showing half full after I fill up for about a month now. I haven't let it get to empty till today but the two gas stations I tried were having issues with their pumps. So I figure we'll it's proving got half a tank and I only had a mile to go, well I walked the last .5 miles lol. The weird thing is, after I filled up my gauge is showing full. Any thoughts on why letting it run out of gas possible fixed the problem?

    um if this is anything like my old ford ranger then its a bad ground and when it gets wet then make contact just enough to make accurate reading.. during rain or winter mine would read properly as soon as it became summer time it wouldnt read at all... but if it goes up to half full when its empty i would venture to say the sending unit is going bad if it is reading full now after a fuel up then id say something electrical but dont take my word for it as i havent worked on my yota much..

    Have you ever hit your gas tank? I would guess it's the float getting stuck on the baffle. There's not much clearance.

    Maybe that's because that Rav4 owners are responsible and have things to do and people to take care of, so clocks are important. Tacoma owners, on the other hand, are selfish degenerates who blow their time and money on mods so time is of no concern to us.

    Stupid Jeep garbage is getting a transmission, right after I finished fixing the engine.

    Also had to put on my homeless person tire so I could have my other one patched...

    Yes it is, thanks again by the way. I'm making fun of the rim really, I had to dig out lug nuts that work with it. The ones for the F5s didn't fit, so I'm glad nothing happened while we were out over memorial day weekend.
