    I bet its similar with the taco, except now you're not working on mechanical stuff, just modifying it! :bananadance:

    Had to go to Photobucket for some of my older pictures.

    The last picture I have of my Rubicon about two weeks before I sold it.

    Sheeeit the taco is so damned reliable. I just change fluids every now and then and bolt on new stuff whenever I can sneak a purchase past the wife!

    The Jeeps needed constant maintenance or they'd implode on themselves. But... They would literally go anywhere. I once drove my front driver's side tire on the Rubicon UP a (vertical) telephone pole until the rear bumper was touching the ground.

    I'm going to do a formal write-up for these. The instructions aren't impossible to understand but in doing my homework I noticed a lot of people struggling with them.

    This is one complete side

    It's really not difficult but the instructions aren't clear. Once you get the slider in position it all makes sense but reading the instructions beforehand was confusing as far as what piece goes where.

    A number of people were having issues with the brake lines on the driver's side. I was having difficulty visualizing it as well until I got the pieces in position.

    I'll try to get better pics in the next day or so. Here's a few more I snapped earlier.

    From the front

    From the back - kick-out is perfectly aligned with the tire.

    Also did my 80k oil change

    Fumoto valve makes life so easy...
    8090F479-2B80-4AED-8409-781F1A49FFDA.jpg

    I really love that Toyota pays attention to the little things like this. Just screw a one-quart to the filler and pour straight in. No muss, no fuss.
    ED7A23CA-BC91-4700-83C5-F3505099AD87.jpg

    And I'm still loving the Mobile 1 M1-301A filter. It's considerably larger than stock. Mo oil and filtration = mo betta!

    It's much larger than stock, providing more surface area for filtration and the ability to carry more oil. By increasing the area of filtration and the quantity of oil you can increase the effectiveness of the oil. Next time you're at a parts store, hold that filter up against the factory filter.
