    I've heard those are a pain in their own right.

    I've got my ebrake setup working pretty well lately. I've got all sorts of little extension brackets on the axle, drums, etc. The cable just broke right under the dash.

    I went ahead and ordered an OEM one for $60 shipped as it's not hardly worth my time to dick around with the cheaper one.

    I replaced mine and it wasn't too bad. This video helped a lot. I know it says it's for an 89-95 Toyota pickup, but my 2000 Tacoma was the same as the one in the video.

    Picked up some takeoff wheels + tires from a 2020 for less than the cost of new tires. They look great on the red 1st gen.

    Man that does look nice. I need to get around to this. The stock dome light keeps going out and the map lights are more like a candle lol

    No kidding! Went camping a couple weeks ago and had to get my flashlight out to find something that fell on the floor. The original bulbs just don’t work. You put it best, it’s like having candles hanging from the roof. o_O
