    For 2” you can do the TRD Pro coilovers. And it takes away the taco lean. However now I have a bro lean.

    Yea you can read the code you got, look at "pending codes" (not sure what that means) and clear the code. It also has gauges for distance traveled since you got CEL, don't know yet if there's one for distance traveled since you got ANY code. Then there's gauges for warm-ups and distance traveled since you cleared the last code.

    I'm pretty sure that's everything it can do concerning codes.

    Slapped a nice layer of silicone around the outside of my driver side headlight. I'll use this one as a test to see if it fixes my tsunami issue before doing the passenger side.

    So the resistor would go from the lead wire, im gonna try to look at this today. If i would add the resistor and later get built in resistors in the way future i guess that would need to be removed?

    My solution was similar to this: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/12-pin-dtrl-led-flasher-modification-2012-tacoma.244028/
    Except I didn't solder new resistors on, I simply used a Dremel to remove material from my existing resistors. I've done it three times now, and the entire process only takes me about 30 mines now. (Took much longer the first time)

    I had the pleasure of changing my spark plugs in 35 degree weather. Snow kept sliding off the hood and hitting my neck.

    Dispite the chill in the air it was a successful day.

    Unfortunately, I don't trust people. So I take the precautions I can. These seemed like they'd be okay, but :notsure:
