    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    What kind of spring compressor did you use for removing the coils on your coilovers? I can't find one to fit on mine

    Usually I use a spring jack, but it wasn't available, so I bought some napa ones and cut the nose off just enough til it fit between coils. Then just turn the bolts to compress spring. @Speedytech7

    It's a DIY using my Yakima cross bars, wire overhead garage storage rack and 1x2 aluminum extrusions. I call it the wtf-is-that rack.

    I ordered a new Denso pump and a sock. I figured the bed is off, the pump is over 13 years old and it might not get any easier later

    Probably a good idea, those socks get seriously nasty. Lemme know how hard it is to change, I have to change my sending unit and pump when turbo comes along. Until then I just guess in the fuel haha.

    Pressure washed and applied NHOU to the entire undercarriage. Time will tell if it is better than fluid film.

    Had running boards before the big tires. With the lift and not having any kind of step poses a bit of an obstacle for the vertically challenged.

    My GF and her two daughters are all under 5'1". Watching them try to get in is funny. I may need and additional (removable) step for them.

    I'd say they all work just fine, but it depends on how much you intend to abuse them. I wanted to try making my own. Seemed like a good DIY project for a novice welder.
