    Advice, when you buy that Horrible Freight mig welder, ditch the flux wire that comes with it. You won't be able to weld worth a shit with it. Get some quality wire, like Lincoln or Hobart from Lowes or Home Depot.

    Upgraded to the TRD 17" rims and added weld on rock sliders with Bed coat material, Billsteins in the front set at 1.75, tinted windows.
    Will do, my neighbor just welded on my sliders with a Chicago Electric from Harbor Freight. I think I want one that I can add the gas to.

    They do have a good selection and all and the place is nice............honesty does not seem to be big in the service department though.....just from my experience

    That might be true

    I've always serviced my cars so I can't comment on that

    But thank you for the advice!

    Where do you service your truck?

    After 25 years of fixing every ones shit I still fix my own unless I don't have the right tools. If I have to take it someplace, I look for the reviews online (the bad ones) and then I will stop by and quiz the shit out of them......GOOD shops are hard to find, honest, experienced, and competent mechanics are even harder to find.

    If it is a shop full of kids younger than me, I avoid it. So far so good, neither vehicle has had anything major go wrong, I had my friend in LA service the wifes car before we moved out here only because of time constraints.

    I don't think you will be needing anything more than basic services for a long time.....it's a Toyota, like Timex watches and the energizer bunny........
