    That's what I thought too but i tugged at it for about an hour and it didnt budge at all. I pryed at it with a flat head but it started to tear up the plastic cuf on the maf. apparently it's pretty soft. I'll keep trying..

    I like using a tie rod arm puller for the LBJ's. Mine were stuck on even while I was whacking the LCA with a BFH.

    I also tried the pickle fork and I like the arm puller the best. It pops the LBJ's right out and helps finish it up real quick.

    I found the tie rod end puller works great for breaking them free and the pit man arm puller fits on the lca to help break the lbj free. I rented both from autozone.

    For those that have done the 13WL swap, were new caliper brackets needed or do they still bolt in place? Figured, while I'm in there for the spacer install, I'll knock this off the list too. Thanks.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    They no longer have forum discounts and YotaDan no longer works for wheelers

    It's been since January since I ordered some stuff up from there. Hardest part is just ordering the brake lines and not some new dakars, shackles, etc that I still need haha

    I was just thinking how I missed this beer today. The PNW has a lot of great beer, but Abita Purple Haze is seldom found.

    anybody know what the safari snorkel pipe diameter is? I wanna say 3 inches but I am not sure. Ordering one of those stupid looking round things. My filter is disgusting after every trip. Hopefully this helps. I am at work otherwise I would go check.

    Thanks!!
