    I know what you mean I used to use a hair dryer back in the day for as much as i could use it for. Usually decals or overlays but it could melt shrink sleeves. But yes the heat gun I have now is very useful!

    Good Luck on the Business!

    Make sure you keep up on your transmission full system flushes. Screwing your transmission up sucks, trust me I know. You can fit a lot of weight in one of those trailers. More than you might think.

    My to do list on this truck is getting ridiculous...

    the fed ex guy showed up

    image.jpg
    and so did the UPS guy
    image.jpg

    Meanwhile my rear HC bumper needs to be stripped and repainted

    CCC34282-72A5-4F59-89CE-24B4BE0385C2.jpg

    And the rear brakes and all the Ujoints need redone.
    image.jpg

    and the uniballs on the TC UCAs need replaced. As do the spherical bearings on my coilovers and shocks. Fuck Wisconsin And it’s endless salt spreading.

    Go ahead and hit the MAF and throttle body while your at it. Super easy!

    The Taco is a 4 out of 10 on the PITA chart when it comes to plugs. I had to pull the manifold off a Monte Carlo once. That sucked!! Lots of extensions helps on the Taco as well.

    That is a spark plug socket. All the extensions are so you can spin the ratchet 360 degrees rather than making 900 1/4 degree turns. The tape is so whey you bump it on the way out, you don't loose an extension down the engine bay.

    Oil change and installed Fumoto's new F133 drain valve which is so much faster at draining the oil compared to their older F103 that I was running before.

    i wondered about putting a cap on the end of the fumoto valve but i figured anything will get flushed out as soon as you open it.

    Hello all - I am fairly new to the site... and maybe I am doing this wrong, but I am looking for any shops that could install a sunroof in my 2015 Tacoma... and before I get bashed - please refrain. I understand a lot of them leak and also why don't you just go get a 3rd gen.... I get all that - but I would at least like to explore the idea and get some pricing. I am used to my truck and finally don't have payments and would like to enjoy this one a little longer and it's something I would like to add... any suggestions on places that it's all they do? Or any experience of styles or somebody that has already done so? I searched in the search box to look for a thread, but had no luck. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

    Bristol, TN... I have seen a couple places around Nashville that seem to do "aftermarket" sunroofs...
