    Yeah its kind of an awkward place to try and put your strength into which doesn't help. We had to basically kick the pry bar a few times to get it to pop out.

    I ordered some new JBL speakers for the front and the back along with the dynamat. I'm not going to crazy just the back cab panel, under the pop outs and the doors.

    Its in a bad spot, but sometimes it helps to pry from both sides at once.

    Why the switch from wheelers to dakars?

    5-leaf pack was great but moving to 33s and more weight in the bed.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Mine have another 10 years on yours, somehow they're still holding up haha.
    There's a few out there, they were popular before allpro dissapeared.

    Me too!

    All about that 6800 Eight Cam 48 lyfe.

    Every time I find a 5VZ still intact at the yard, I take the sticker with me. So far I’ve found two out of the like 20 4Runners I’ve seen in the past year. Most of the time the engine is long gone.

    Got the driver's side out again, but now the passenger side is leaking. Must've screwed up the seals when I fist changed the CV's yesterday.

    @Jiveydude what'd you use to drive in the seals? I think I'll be replacing this new set sooner than later, unfortunately.

    Stuff and things that make it better.
    I used an old race and a thick square piece of steel for even pressure. Here's a pic using the same method to get the rear pinion seal in.

    Did a what I would say is a full detail on the inside. Pulled the seats and center console, vacuumed and shampooed the seats and carpet, wiped everything else down really good, and put it back together.
    Also ran another wire for a long range antenna.

    Outside gets done tomrrow....

    No pictures cause F you.
